  • Finito!

    I finished my project. The rough demos and vocal/piano score for the entire show is done. I have a meeting tonight with some folks about it and I’m excited. The first act is 886 bars long (approx. 20 minutes) and the second act is 437 bars long (approx. 14 minutes). Additionally, there is an encore song I have yet to arrange, and there will be some lines in the show as well. All in all, I feel quite relieved. I don’t think I’ve ever worked as hard on a project before. I think I have sores on my patoot from sitting for SO long at my desk at work and then my desk at home. As it has come together, I’ve become more and more proud of it. I am thankful for this great opportunity!

    In other news, 24 rocks!
    These first four hours were absolutely exhilarating. What a great start to a promising season. I have to say, that although some good shows were on in the fall (Studio 60, Heroes, Lost, Battlestar Galactica) I think that this winter, the return of shows like 24 and American Idol is going to radically change Television. People like me are going to wish they had time to watch all that cool TV, but instead will drop shows they had previously been watching to tune in to some of TV’s biggest people-magnets.

    You know what though, all that aside, Jack Bauer is the coolest. Major props to the team that created and produces 24, and major props to Kiefer Sutherland, for being awesome.
