Handwritten musical score with instrumental families grouped individually on their own grand staves.

Today’s #proofofbeinghuman: the rapidly progressing short score for #Pathfinder. I’m trying something new to me and just laying out the broad strokes with annotations for what I want to do later at the surface level of the music. Loving type smoothness and the bird’s eye view of this process!

Today’s #proofofbeinghuman:

The opening measures of #Pathfinder, a Quixotic work for orchestra (I have no commission or ensemble lined up to play it).

The 32nd notes are a translation of Voyager 1’s binary code signal indicating a new chunk, or “frame,” of information is being transmitted.

Today’s #proofofbeinghuman: I’m sketching an orchestra piece because that’s just what’s coming out of me right now 🤷‍♂️

Today’s #proofofbeinghuman. A new orchestra piece has started emerging from me for reasons unknown. Guess I’ll go with it 🤷‍♂️

Today’s #proofofbeinghuman: engraved the intro to #bluesforfrank, the last movement of #tombeau. After a few adjustments thanks to @megan-hill.bsky.social, it’s humming!

Physical score showing three attempts to begin the final movement of Tombeau: Blues for Frank

Tonight’s #proofofbeinghuman:

Third time’s the charm 🤷‍♂️

Musical score depicting the minor, relative, major, and parallel, major blue scales, as realized on tonic, subdominant, and dominant tonal areas. The whole thing is in the shape of a pyramid. Below, it are smaller reproductions of that pyramid showing the subsets of the blue scale in each major section of this movement.

Today’s #proofofbeinghuman: a “blues pyramid” and the subsets that will form each section of #tombeau’s last movement, #bluesforfrank.
