Oops.

So this post should have happened the week before Spring Break, yet somehow it slipped my mind, even though I know what I was going to say. Mea culpa, perhaps? Let's had back into the Wayback Machine...

The Musical House metaphor seems to be something of a fools errand at this point. It's an idea I would like to explore in the future, but, for now, I need to keep things simple. What I'm afraid of is how much time in general my project will take, as the recording of the music and generation of the art has been a major portion of my activities thus far. I'm rather ashamed that I have nothing to show for my project yet other than a bunch of failed actionscripting.

I am going to probably do more of a musical themed project wherein people turn the instruments on and off by dragging them onto a "stage," so to speak. That's the plan anyway.

My roommate (aka my artist) is very, very busy right now, so I've decided that I might do something with photographers or clipart. To be honest, the latter is a last ditch effort. I mean this as no offense, but I see too many educational projects that make use of really bad clipart, the same stuff that Microsoft has been peddling in PowerPoint and other Office products for a while. I'd like for my project to have original content if at all possible, but I know that's a difficult proposition.

The recording of the music is actually going pretty well. I hope to have something finished up in the next few weeks. I think it's gonna be pretty simple two chord stuff with a lot of percussion, which is not unexpected given the fact that I'm a drummer.
