a couple of weeks ago, my brother was over and we were working on music. he observed something about a lot of my songs... said i'll have a bunch of amazing, intricate melodies and harmonies going on simultaneously but they unfortunately often get lost in the mix... no focal points so it all starts to sound blurry. what he does to make them more effective is EQ them... balance out the highs (treble), mids, and lows (bass) so they are clearer... and selects certain harmonies to be focused in on.
hmmm... interesting. balance. focus. yes, there are patterns at work here...
my life feels like a symphony... (sometimes a cacophony)... a sea of varied fluctuating sounds and rhythms randomly interconnecting and harmonizing and mixing around... simultaneously, haphazardly. it's a beautiful mess. but i've spent too much time drowning in it and languishing amongst the different parts. it's time to conduct it into structure... a composition.
i'm starting to emerge. i can feel it. growing and forming... starting to feel stronger, tighter, more vivid.
it feels like spring!
