Mission Accomplished?

I have been dropping not-so-subtle hints all over the place (emails, Facebook, Twitter ... you know, all the usual suspects) about my 365 project coming to a close. I knew it was an extremely ambitious project when I started at the first of the year (don't we all get overzealous about our New Year's resolutions?), but I wholeheartedly believed I could make it happen. Things I did not factor in were sickness, business trips and other composition projects turning this labor of love into a chore. I am fairly certain that this is the opposite of what was intended for the project.

So as not to feel like too much a failure, I ask myself if I accomplished the essence of the mission I set forth. Yes indeed. I did not reach 364 variations, but I did memorialize my mother every day for 74 days and now I have this collection of little variations I can return to whenever I like. I will not be composing any new variations, but I am planning a live performances of select variations reworked for piano 4-hands this summer, so stay tuned.

System Reboot...

After what has already been a rather trying week, I'm going to take a 3-day hiatus from the 365 Project (starting today) while I travel up to NYC for the weekend with my sister. No worries though ... this is a planned hiatus, so I'll be catching up with the missing variations upon my return to NC on Sunday. Hoping creativity and inspiration make the trip back with me (I actually think they're already up in NY).
