My Almost Daily Music Project

Two hours of sleep and I was up again.  That's what my 365 Music Project was doing to me.  You see, you can't do a daily project and be 1.) the mom of a six month old (who wants to wake up to eat three times a night), 2.) the wife of an avid movie man, who loves me to join him in his viewing of new films (who am I kidding?...I love it, too), 3.) a full time working woman, 4.) a daily project girl, and 5.) someone who sleeps good at night.  You just can't.  Unless you're an android.

I want to be that creative person who does cool projects, but I need sleep; so I'm compromising.  Thanks to my husband's Christmas gift to me, I started this cute monster. (I'll credit the book and author in another post because the book isn't here right now.)  This is a Almost Daily Music Project, and I would love to share it with you.  Since I started it before I got my blog up and running, I'll post some pics of my first projects and a bit of what I remember of the process.   From here on out, I'll try to blog a bit on the day (or week) of my latest project.

 Why music as a subject for a year?

Weeellll, I'm a musician.  Music has been an integral part of my life since I was six, and I'm guilty of taking it for granted.  You know those couples who have been together for 30 years or so?  They are always falling in love with their spouse all over again right about 30 years together.  That's kinda where I'm going with this.  There are lots of amazing artists who make music sound cool, but very few cool images.  There are the occasional pieces of art incorporating music symbols, but I feel that music symbols in general are undervalued for their intrinsically beautiful form.  I'm a musician who wants to make my music take a physical presence of creativity as much as it does a aural presence of creativity.  In short, I'm looking to fall in love with music all over again.  I want my long relationship with music to be in that long-time-married-with-grown-kids stage.  Here's to experimentation! 

If you enjoy these, please let me know.  Sending my creations out into The Void is fun only if I get some feedback.  If you have suggestions for future projects or materials, send them my way!  I'd love to get inspiration from outside sources.
