I've been writing music.

I got together with Meris last night. We had a BAND meeting. A productive band meeting. That ended with some non-productive figuring out chords to McGarrigle music. It was fun.

I've decided how I want to go about having this band. I decided this morning. I need experience composing music. We need to make sure we can write music and be good musicians. (ie play music well with eachother). I think once we've gotten that under our belts, we can work on having a good sound and filling out the empty space. Minimalism is good and all, but we need some filler.

I was listening to "Love over Gold" this morning and when the organ came on, I said to myself "what we really need is an organ. Or an accordion. OR a CONCERTINA. I think electric guitar could work too, but we'd need to decide on what sound suited us best. There are so many kinds of electric guitar.

But if we don't worry about all of that until we actually have a set, this project could actually work. We might actually get gigs, and maybe make money off of the whole thing. Wouldn't that be sweet?

I've decided to go out to Long and McQuade on Wednesday or something and get Finale, because they carry it. I'll have to phone them today and make sure they have it. I'm excited about writing lots of music. I'm also excited about the soundfonts I've been downloading.

I love how I've managed to convinced myself over the years that midi sounds good.
