Mickey Mantle
Day 4
Page 4, Recap of Introduction & Main Theme Phrase 1
There’s this quote that comes to mind this week from Mickey Mantle that
opens the movie Moneyball: “It’s unbelievable how much you don’t
know about the game you’ve been playing all your life.”
That sums up everything I experienced yesterday and echoed in my head as I sat down for work today. As I continue my work in music, I become increasingly aware of all that I do not know.
And while yesterday was a bit of a struggle, today’s work flowed more smoothly as I explored the Recap of the Introduction & Main Theme. Maybe it was easier because I was outside? I can see the shape of this portion of the piece now. It’s the roughed out frame–a glimpse of the future. That’s what I have to chase, the vision of what I can hear in my head. It’s miles away, but I can see it, in the distance.
Enjoy the bird sounds and occasional breeze.
See you tomorrow.
