Start of the Inevitable

when feeling Exhausted

Being an artist and being inspired usually takes a physical toll when combined. The inspiration came yesterday afternoon and ceased at 4am out of necessity rather than willingly halting the adventure.

Yesterday's inspiration was a monumental undertaking of creating not one, but THREE pieces. i feel like a big, loud broadway show pulling out all the stops.

i tend to lean toward the deeper trax, the non singles, the hidden gems. what i'm doing now is the compiling the best of the best, the guilty pleasures and the emotionally identifiable, meaningful trax.

packaging and delivery are up in the air but i now have parameters and themes:

12+ years worth of inspiration and memories divided in thirds; significant in their timeline, titled A Farewell In Three Parts

The first, is Cinnamon Eyes, covering those artisits discovered through others, moments in time capsulized, and old favorites share with others.

The second is currently titled Dark Entries is indeed the decent in the Dark Ages, but some of the best personal discoveries made and with the boom of the internet, immediate access and deeper investigation of new and existing artists.

The third and final is tentatively titled Waiting For the Sirens Call, though i have no intenion of including the track by the same name.

i need to decide if i want 80mins of music and whittling the tracks to about 15-20; practically halving the 110+ i've preselected. if not, it's like giving it all up at once, which is unlike me, and a trim may be necessary for more easy digestion.
