The choral piece is galloping along. I feel like I’ll probably come back around and thicken up the textures at the start a little. But it’s taking shape and I’m three lines in (out of 11) so I’m quite pleased really. Reusing the initial idea I think works well, rather than having it all stream of consciousness. A certain amount of repetition works for the subject matter – the closest thing in sound to silence, I think, is repetition. Or possibly a drone, but the drone is just repetition stuck together, really, innit?
