got a bit of a cold today but i spent the afternoon writing a string part for More Than A Sign. FUN!! :) I had originally thought that i would get someone else to orchestrate strings for all the songs on the record, but after a couple very knowledgeable string-writing people suggested we try it ourselves, we decided to give it a try. First we were both set up with our respective midi keyboards in the living room throwing ideas around, then we realized it was kinda a one- person job so marc rested his ears while i drafted a part... so far i think it's sounding excellent and i don't know what else any other orchestrator would really do differently that I could possibly like better. I mean, this isn't Rachmaninoff.
