Here we are - starting from scratch. I've spent this week just thinking about the past, and wondering about how I'm going to build things back to where they were. Catching up on comments, fixing broken URLs, getting the Patreon support back, and of course the workflow of writing and editing music again.
Years ago I wrote this piece with a different title, but it means something new to me now while I was editing the video. "Full Restart" symbolizes the new beginning of where I am.
Back in 2015 I started my Patreon. For every $300 in donations I would add 1 more musician - until I got to a 52-person orchestra. The momentum was soon going to have me write for flutes, trumpets, timpani, piano, opera singers, and string players. And then suddenly it all stopped. I don't know what to think of it all. I don't know what to think of anything. But this piece is when I embark on a full restart.
As much as it may be a beginning, there are a lot that won't change - I want to keep things weird, write new and fun music, and make it as accessible as possible. That means that this song is licensed Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial 3.0, so you can record, share, rearrange, and have fun with my music (but not sell it).
I like how this video is a bit "tame". It's not loud (in both volume and editing) and I think that's accurate. I just want to have fun. I just want to write music. It's been the hardest thing to lose, but it's a happy feeling to know that it's still as beautiful as I remember it being.
