Hello and welcome. This blog you have found will hopefully chronicle my efforts to reclaim my voice as a composer.
Nearly three years ago I left my music composition program in college, but in that time I feel like I have finished one project to my satisfaction. This is in large part to me simply not sitting down and forcing myself to work. Many artists I'm sure can attest to this, but the concept of a creator getting a flash of inspiration and immediately producing a brilliant masterpiece is most definitely a misconception. For me, the majority of the creative process is churning out garbage, trying to find something good in it, and then polishing the results. It can actually be disheartening because of the apparent lack of progress.
That's where this somewhat daily blog comes into play. I plan on making new music every day that I can. I may write one-off pieces, work on older unfinished projects, or begin a new long-term project, but I will stay accountable to this blog and any stray readers that come along.
Thanks for listening,
~Luke
