Music 30/30 – Day 20
Two thirds of the way through, and I’m doubling down on the idea of completing the first “semester” of the music theory course. I moved away from it a bit just to get more into material that would be more directly useful to my current projects, but at the same time I’m so close to reaching the end. So I’m buckling down and doing the homework that I haven’t gotten around to yet. According to the instructor, completing fifth species counterpoint marks the end of the content from the first semester of his collage course, and that is very nearly the point that I’ve reached. So that will be pretty gratifying. Afterward I can shift back to studying techniques more specific to ambient and game music for the remainder of the challenge.

I consciously decided to skip the “video” update today. I’ve been having an incredibly difficult time with the recording setup lately, and I’m honestly not sure why it’s proving to be such a hassle. On the plus side, I have a couple of new options available to try out, but I wasn’t able to get everything together to test it today. Tomorrow I will try to see if I can’t get an actual video together.
