Okay, so it's been pointed out to me that it's been a while since I posted anything.  You might be thinking, what kind of 'obsessive' musician goes a month without producing anything new?  Well, that fact is that I've been doing a lot of music, but I haven't completed any new recordings.  I have actually been practicing quite a lot with the looping technique that I referred to when I first started this blog.  It gives my guitar playing a workout, and I think it lowers my blood pressure at the same time!   I have a bunch of new ideas from that process, that I may or may not incorporate into some new recordings here.  

Anyway, I did create a new composition over the weekend, but it is very, very short!  This was a response to a request from an interested party that I submit a sample of my work that was one minute or less.  I took this as a challenge to actually write something under one minute, rather than to just edit down something longer.  It's actually quite difficult for me to be so brief.   I'm going to keep it a secret who the interested party is.  I will let you know right away if it works out!

The finished product is called Wishes Fulfilled and clocks in at a whopping 54 seconds.  It's a string quartet (minus one violin, plus bass, as I tend to enjoy) plus a little extra percussion.  As you might guess from the title, it's a lot less ominous and oppressive than usual...   

I may or may not want to expand this into something longer.  For the moment, I don't think it warrants inclusion on the Virtual CD.  What do you think?  Is this worth extending?
