I took a short break from blogging, but we've still been working on the music, and we actually have something to show today!

As you'll likely be able to tell, Jordan and I have been focusing in on A' and C over the past few weeks. Progress has been slow, and we still aren't done with what is there. Right now I think the parts are a bit out of balance time-wise. Things happen a bit too quickly, and I think the violins toward the end should come in sooner.
The very end, which is the beginning of part C is really only a skeleton of an idea at this point.
The good news is that we will probably be able to work more rapidly now that we have a general idea of where we are headed.
Conceptually, we decided to make a few more alterations. We are venturing out to new keys from A' to C. This is a more large-scale representation of what the character is doing. He's make an even greater attempt to venture out into the unknown. Not just by daring to move to a C section, but also by daring to change keys. Even the tonic (the chord that feels like home) changes.
But it's only temporary because, as any of our readers might know by this point, this character will not commit to new things. He intentionally stays with the familiar. So when we finally make it back home to A'', so too will the music make it back home to its original key. But that won't happen on the arrival of A''. The music will stay in a new key at first, giving one last half-hearted effort to make something of the unknown... But it will fail. It will give in to the familiar, and remain there, sputtering out in exhaustion and defeat.
As far as the other members of Kindlyn, lyrics are being worked on, and the art should start back up soon. Those interested in hearing more about the story, and finally seeing some artwork should get excited!
