It has been, once again, quite a while. Again.
My most recent attempts to recreate Part 3 of the music that was lost have been, at best, failures. Mostly due to the spontaneity involved in the composition and arrangement of the piece. I attacked this music with far less discipline and much more of the whimsy and madness I so long to employ in my work. I think this kind of orchestration lends itself to a little madness, as does the steampunk genre as a whole. So, clearly, this inability to recreate a spontaneous work means it won't ever be exactly as I meant it at that moment. But hopefully, with a little time and a lot of mad luck, I can make something that is on par if not better than what I intended. THEN....
Then? This movie can actual move. The plot is there. Details need to be sorted and then finer details, still. But I think I have a great piece of art to share. And I'll be damned if I don't see it through as far as I can on my own and with the help of my sibling-cohorts.
Now, I know this is not much of an update. It's rehashing of previous thoughts. But, really, it's exactly where I'm at with this project. Frustrated, and honestly, pissed off at my own artistic abilities. That will pass and in will come some clarity, soon. In the meantime, I continue to work on my solo musical endeavors found here: www.davemagario.com.
Currently, I'm working on my first ever proper studio album, as many of you know. Most of you probably even have a few dollars of vested interest in this project. (Many thanks for that. You know I love you for it.) So please keep an eye out at my website and here for any movement in this film project. It will be a labor of love and time. Thanks for the continue interest! See you around the web and in the real world.
