The backward steps are starting to move forward again. This week has seen a bit of a progress in relation to music and to the tech I’m working on behind the scenes. Still charging ahead as I tend to do.
I got a call last week asking if I would create a variation on a piece of music that I had written last year. I said sure. Easy enough task since it was already licensed and used. Though once I dug into it, it was more of a new piece rather than a variation.
It required a change of time signature and a bump of 20 bpm in speed. That’s less a variation and more like a rewrite. However, I did retain a good portion of the chord changes. The melody was relatively similar, but more bouncy and sections got doubled in length due to the speed increase.
I turned it in yesterday as per request and I’m waiting to find out if it hit the mark they wanted.
On the tech side, I finally made some headway. After bashing my proverbial head on a brick wall trying to get the server backend to work with WordPress, I finally gave up on the direction I was going and chose a different path. Within an hour of the new path it was up and running. Much as it should have been with the previous path that never panned out.
As of the release of this update, I should be working on the transfer of all the data and start in on getting the communication portion up and running. Nearing the finish line of all this stuff. I’m not out of the woods yet and I hope I don’t have another major setback. Right now, the server is running smooth.
Which means, I hope I don’t jinx it by saying that the portion that is running, is running smoothly.
With that, there’s another step forward this morning with the release of the song I have for the Cleveland Charge. Yes, another rendition of Do You Want to Play is ready for your ears – provided you’re a Cleveland Charge fan.
Much like the pro players of the Charge, and their namesake, I feel like I’m charging ahead. Albeit in sometimes small steps.
