it's cold these days. a good day to spend indoors.... so today i will be spending more time writing strings, after a few days off. i originally thought i would write everything for string quartet, but now that i'm getting into the thick of it and getting some feedback from other arrangers, it's coming clearer that what i need is a larger string section... at least 8 pieces, or more. (i know people with hookups to large orchestras in eastern europe, so i'm keeping an open mind at this point). For now, before i tackle any more songs, i'm basically writing a few different treatments for the same song, to try out different textures. then i can then sit back and compare!
