Tut Tut Tut

Well it is over a month since my last blog so the idea of blogging more regularly may have been overly optimistic. I was partly tempted to title this blog "On Why It Is So Difficult to Blog Daily". The answer is, lots of things get in the way - my 9 to 5 as an HR Advisor at the Barbican Centre (which is a really cool job), my part time masters in HR at LSBU (which is really stimulating) and the gym and more recently drying and straightening my now incredibly hair (girls, I don't know how you do this every day). Clearly my list of excuses is long enough which prompts me to have enormous respect for people who can blog every day about their lives and chosen field. I have to remind myself of course that often for these people blogging is part of their 9-5 whereas today I am squishing it into my lunch break!

In a quick creative update, I have made a major breakthrough with my music in using Kontakt 4 which will convert my gigastudio content in a Windows 7 environment. All that work in creating a dual boot system to run the legacy Gigastudio to bring my compositions to life is now a waste of time aside from learning how to create dual boot systems. I am probably a better computer technician than I am composer now!

This means I've been able to write more content for my new show and I hope to be able to share an extract from the Overture very soon to whet your appetite.

Meanwhile research into the setting and context of the show continues and with a two week writing holiday scheduled for my 27th Birthday on the 28th March, I think we will be seeing some material soon!
