		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so while there&#8217;s a good deal of relief and satisfaction after having completed a (second) 12-week course in Orchestration, I&#8217;m genuinely bummed as well. I wouldn&#8217;t mind if this course had gone on for another 12&#8230; or even 24 weeks. It&#8217;s been that interesting / challenging / rewarding. Hats off to Berklee and Ben [...]]]></description>

I finally got my music &#8216;studio&#8217; about 99% finished, work has gotten pretty busy for the first time in a couple years and the two courses I&#8217;m taking this term have been surprisingly time-consuming [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another week, another chord progression experiment. This one really got away from me, heading in a Jay Chattaway direction before I could slow it down. Now I just have to write and produce a new spin-off series so I can persuade myself to use this as the opening title music. Hey&#8230; it&#8217;s late and I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week in Songwriting Workshop:Harmony, our assignment was to put together a progression with certain characteristics. For that I created a groove that goes from a Im IVm Aeolian &#8220;power progression&#8221; to a Im IV7 Dorian equivalent. This inspired some additional changes that ultimately turned into a nice rumba thing: Week 5 Assignment &#8211; MP3 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Been a while. I&#8217;ve been getting a handle on songwriting harmony in BerkleeMusic&#8217;s BMW-133 Songwriting Workshop: Harmony with (the awesome) Shane Adams. This week was the first I&#8217;d actually put something complete together. I&#8217;ve upgraded to Win 7, which meant saying good-bye to the Tascam FW-1804 and replacing it with a PreSonus FireStudio Mobile. This [...]]]></description>

This was an assignment that started with some canned drum loops (you&#8217;ll hear them), to which we were to add orchestral instruments. This cue was a shot at something between James Bond (recent vintage) and the Bourne series film scores. Adding Orchestral Material to [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m learning loads of new things each week (and not having to grope around &#8216;experimenting&#8217; in order to do it). This past week had a number of interesting workshop activities. First was a short section extracted [...]]]></description>
