working on proposed structure of the film.
Will spend the weekend using the video of Bishop Sullivan’s recitation
of “Ode to a Blue Angel” as a backbone piece for the movie. Since his poem chronicles TQ’s career and
attendant escapades, it would serve as a touch point for the interviews.

Goal:
15 minutes per day working on the score for the movie
Details:
“Dies Irae” – 20X in groups of five, allowing me to focus on
execution
After
playing “Dies Irae” twenty times, broke down the octave and dyad climbs
Am – D7 chord progression, pulling in A and A
octave bass (palm mute). While I
originally intended this as the chordal accompaniment to the A Dorian
intervallic riff, this progression is starting to have a life of its own.
Total Time:
15 minutes
Notes: I missed posting a blog yesterday due to connectivity problems. Looks like I'm back up and running. Attended Mass at St. Mary's today and got a chance to see some of the great people I was able to interview during production. It was a time of re-energizing and re-focusing on the big picture of the film. Among the things I am thankful for on this day is the opportunity to get together with family and celebrate, and in addition to family, I'm blessed with a supporting cast in the Advisory Board, comprised of people that blur the lines of family friends and colleagues. I am also thankful for TQ and all of the people I was honored to interview over the years. As I count down to the end of 2011, this time of preparation and reflection is like the drawing of a bow, widing of a watchspring, gathering potential energy to be released into the New Year.
