Progress
Project Storm continues to move forward.
I'm almost done refining the sonic palette and can confidently say that I'm close to 90% locked in terms of sound selection. Recently, I added:
- A cinematic pad to glue the piece together
- Refined the bass drum (thunder) hits
- Developed a layered cymbal sound to represent the lightning
The last week has been slow, but progress is good. As I work to get story lock by the end of the week, the hard work of closing the 10% gap continues. That's when I move from "I like it" to "I love it," and right now I think I just "like it."
But, I'm not holding myself under too fine of a microscope. Project Storm started as an experiment, part challenge to myself to compose a piece in less than 10 weeks, and part content creation journey, documenting the process and sharing it with the world. Whatever I produce, in the end I know it will not be without meaning. But right now, in the middle of my own composition storm, I'm learning to embrace the micro moments of progress, refine what I can, and "like it."
The journey continues...
