Random Musings

This year has been coming along great, especially in these last two weeks.

It has been an eventful last two weeks, and thoroughly enjoyable.

Was fortunate enough to be able to do quite a bit of networking, and made a number of new friends and contacts in the last two weeks, in various areas.

Managed to speak to a lot of new people, and managed to get some really interesting initiatives kickstarted after those meetings, and I’m really excited about what the rest of the year brings…both for Songcraft as well as for my own personal projects.

It’s going to be an exciting 2010 for sure.

Most importantly, I recently found a librettist that I could potentially work with to create a little musical by this year, hopefully.

Everything’s still in the early stages, and nothing’s really confirmed, but things are looking good.

And we’re both serious about getting something done and putting it up.

It’s just the most amazing thing, cos I’ve been secretly dreaming of getting in touch with a good librettist that I could potentially work with (and who would want to work with me)…and I finally found one!

Thank God for such wonderful stuff.

Sometimes all you need to do is to approach the right people and open your mouth to ask for help, and I’m very fortunate to be able to have known some really helpful and well-connected people who kindly managed to get me hooked up with this librettist.

And very recently this week I did what I’d always been longing to do – meeting this potential librettist at a coffee joint and just talk and brainstorm about creating a new musical together…in other words, sow the seeds of what might be our first exciting musical project together.

Which is exactly what we did at our first initial meeting this week, and it went very well.

Pure bliss.

Well, truth be told, he’s a much much more accomplished writer than I as a composer…so I really hope that if we actually work together, that I can uphold my end of the deal on the composition part. (Y’know, bring my stuff to the table as well.)

But I’m glad that on our first meeting, we both articulated our end goals (as in, what we hope to ultimately achieve and where we want to go with this), and we found that we were very much on the same page, which was fantastic.

So now it’s all systems go.

2010 is gonna be a massive year!
