So I got into the PhD program I applied to and now I need to convince them to let me take four courses per semester. Crazy shit. I know.

Working on a new composition, still, and am at another blank. My commander took the idea that I had and when he explained it to the people that he needs to answer to (like the general) he decided to run further with the idea than I intended. My original concept was to write a piece for nonet (9 piece band) about 7-8 minutes long and have it following the story of training videos that we've all seen involving the war.

So because we're going to be playing some jobs for some political types here in Iraq I figured something that kind of looks at the loss that both sides have faced during this shit hole of a conflict and combine video and music. The beginning involves just some odd-meter stuff with a "middle-eastern" sounding riff (it's actually the hungarian minor scale, but close enough) and car horn sounds and shit until the IED explodes and then it would launch into the next section. That was the limit that I was going to put on trying to incorporate Iraqi music was just the beginning.

Now I'm about 3.5-4 minutes into the piece (around 127 measures of music) and I get told that it should include more Iraqi based stuff. So needless to say it'll be challenging getting from where I am now to where they want it to be and have it still sound natural.

Hopefully this will post since this is the first time in a few weeks that our wireless has reached my cubicle, but I'm not counting on it.
