Throbbing
Well, usually at this time of year (post finals) I would be sitting on the couch watching some horrible television or, otherwise, sitting in front of my computer killing zombies. Instead, I've been working a LOT in the office.
Two grant opportunities are due this week, I hope they hit. That would be cool. More on those later. The big reason for the post is that I've finished the score to my marimba duo: Throb. This is the first time I've actually written out an improvisation and my second piece to include improv (the first has yet to be notated).
Wanna see it? Here is it:Throb.pdf
Throb is a fun word. I feel a little cheeky writing a piece called Throb, but just a little.
Anyhow, I get a real rush from making my scores and sending them out. Am I alone in this?
