Drafting 2/5 - Music to Write to

Drafting is the second step of the 5 part writing process - it's where you take the ideas and information generated in the previous prewriting stage and get them down. Again, we're not worried about perfection, we're just concerned with what these ideas look and feel like.

Having identified a working theme based around a 4 chord structure - B minor, D major, E minor A major - this piece plays with that outline and looks at some of the internal relationships. The first half focuses on tone while the second half plays with the progression.

The third step in the process is revising and this week will be spent tightening up the different themes and flavors.
