Olde Times

Dearest readership:

No doubt you've been waiting with baited breath for a new post. Sadly, I have been busy job-marketing and avoiding work on the old dissertation. This has been the cause of a whole new form of shame and self-loathing. Yum!

But spring has sprung and things are looking up! Since I am going to write my dissertation in the next three months, I decided to begin by finishing some music on which I've been working.

(I know: this is how work does not get done... but give me a break, bitches.)

Here is a draft of my new composition:

Olde Times

It switches charmingly between a fun 80s dance piece (think Axel F) and totally butt-kicking half-time groove. Finally -- after a short glossy club turn -- it unifies the previously differing emotional tones of the two main sections, with a bit of church-y feedback. Start with frivolity, move to anxiety, wrap up by turning the frivolity and anxiety into joyous awe... that's the idea. I think it is the bee's knees.

Your Brave Leader,
-Idris
