Jets - Full Theme Development 71 BPM

So I'm starting to stretch out with this now - I'm digging the minor variation as the opening to the piece and how it transitions to the more familiar major theme, I also like how the tempo can deliver a delicate beginning and yet finish in a fairly triumphant manner - definitely getting there.

This piece is ultimately going to be on a music2work2 Bloggers playlist. At the moment I am writing every day for different projects and I find it useful to have music that I associate with writing - it cues my mind into the act of writing and sets me up to focus on my subject. The format and structure of the piece is designed to facilitate the process - nice and calming to start with and growing with intensity as it gets into a groove. Often for me the hardest part of writing is actually starting, so having something that helps me chill out and relax into it is a great help.

I have had someone in mind while I've been developing this piece and I think they will dig it when it's done. The idea is to take something recognizable and inspirational to them so that they will want to put it on - and in doing so - will help them create - that's the plan anyway!

I've been accompanying this theme development with images by Ed Yourdon from a Jets pre-season game last year. I've been studiously not going for the gratuitous cheerleader shot - but apparently, they are by far the most popular photos in the set - so who am I to go against the wishes of the public - so - as I'm kinda stoked about today's piece - here's some beautiful women for you - thanks Ed!

When is it going to kick in?

I started writing these blogs several weeks ago with the promise that in a few months I would become better at it and it would be more enjoyable. I trust that I was told the truth about this process........my question is, when is the change going to start? So far, I don't enjoy it any more than I ever did. And, I haven't seen the creativity appear yet! I'm sure the problem lies with me - - to become "more" creative, you have to have some creativity to begin with. Words don't come easily to me - written words that is and I haven't found it any easier to think of something to say in these things.

In order for blogging to be a help in marketing this business venture, I know that what I write has to be interesting and something that will catch people's attention. Will I suddenly one day start to write and magical thoughts and words flow from my fingers? Or will I have a major revelation that I have become capable of writing about our website and our music in a manner to draw listeners and buyers, so much so that I will want to rush to the computer hardly able to wait to start putting words to paper......or screen, as it is? What will it feel like to become creative or unleash any creativity that might be lurking deep inside me?

I don't imagine any of those things will happen - if it happens at all the way it is supposed to. But since I trust the person who urged me to do this, I'll just keep on and ..........will wait!
