Progress! :)

In a general point of view, I am starting to make some progress here. Just recently, I was invited to eat at a place where pretty much everybody makes me feel insanely nervous. However, when I got there, I loosened up quite a bit and was actually able to keep up a conversation that, only months ago, I would not have been able to even start.
And right now, I am packing my stuff to embark on a little adventure to Summer camp, where I will be away from home for four weeks and I will meet people I’ve never spoken to in my life. For someone who’s never been very far away from home before, this is a big step.
And musically, I’ve done the same! Even though I didn’t go as far as I could have, I’ve tried a completely new way of recording music and I’ve concentrated more on added effect than on keeping my own instruments in the song. The result is, to date, incredible!
And then there was an incident yesterday that I won’t go into detail with.

But it’s definitely working! Really, all this goal is really about is not only stepping out of my comfort zone, but also becoming confident in situations that I would usually avoid.



Just came up with something else.

Very bizarre chords and progressions… needs some work to make it more unpredictable. But it sounds great overall :D



Music

The most important reason why I have set this goal for myself is because I want to change and reinvent my music.
I have been composing and writing for about three years now, and I always find myself being caught in the same progressions, the same chords, and the same melodies. Single songs are not bad, but altogether, they are very similar.
As I newly made this clear to myself, I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone and fit chords together when there was absolutely no reason for it. It turned out to become my favourite, and is now on the way to becoming a song.

This goal will probably stay on my list for a long time, as it will take me quite a while to get used to.
Of course, another one of my goals (to work on my music daily for an hour) will be a large part of this as well.
