It's been a nice honeymoon week back in school. I wish it could just stay like this forever haha. Sigh. Nopez... it's going to be back to normal by Monday. This week was good although I was nervous about the composition submission and playthroughs, but once that was out of the way, I had quite a good first week back. Since official lessons for music only start on Thursday, I practically only had one lesson this week... cos I suppose a playthrough is technically not a lesson?? Hahaha whatever, I'm just babbling nonsense.

Yep, so it's been good, I only had studio compo this week. It was quite boring actually, to me it's more like something to stone to. It's so 'white-noise'-y... like just background noise that you might hear for the first 20 seconds or so, and then your ears and brains learn to shut it out. It's also quite hard work for the brain to concentrate on following the 'music' cos unlike normal music it's just made up of sounds. I tend to form some sort of 'movie' in the mind's eye according to the sounds I hear. But it can't work for everything cos some things just don't make sense in order for them to fall into a storyline. Luckily it's not going to be that bad, just anyhow edit sounds on Adobe Audition and I guess anyhow arrange sounds into a 'piece'??? Haha I sound like those who will stand up and indignantly say, 'That's not music!' But it isn't that bad, I can still appreciate it, but it's just different. Some of it really makes me switch off but some of it is really interesting! There was this piece in which sounds subtly melted into one another e.g. there were sounds of cars driving past, and then it slowly turned into sounds of water etc, it's all gradual and nice. So it's not as bad as it seems to be, from what I've been typing above... there are genuinely great stuff too. I guess I shall learn to like some of it by the end of the term. Yea... anything to get out of doing lots of essays next year man. Heehee
