The past few weeks have been a bit all over the place for me, for a number of reasons.
Firstly my laptop crashed and was under repairs for a whole week, so I couldn't do too much during that episode, and then secondly I have an extension, so my weeks are extended and working progresses by a bit.
In the past two weeks, I have been focusing on bringing everything together with my final piece. After recording many instruments, I cut down to using the harp, malletts, trumpet, double bass and choir, to add into my work. Adding in all these extra instruments was a bit overwhelming and enduring, and I really had to focus on each individual tone so they would all fit together well - it was a bit like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Trying to arrange all the dynamics was also difficult, because you don't want to certain instruments to drown each other out. Eventually it got to a point where I wasn't sure if all these instruments worked together or not - and whether I needed to add more since it still sort out sounded the same to begin with (in terms of the melody etc). I had some friends listen to it, and many of them said that I should leave it with where it's currently at so I don't over do it. All I need to do now is recreate my graphic score and write my final statements.
