Two busy days, as ever, yet they don't feel as productive. Finalised the lyric booklets yesterday and filed these with the albums, also filed the few old iTunes digital booklets I have. These were stored with the album art, but it makes more sense to file them as 'books', with a finished copy with the album only, as I have with these lyric booklets. The Spotify canvases are the same, the source files etc. are files as films, with a final copy also stored with the appropriate albums.
Then some new 'archival' quality CD-Rs arrived, these are 'printable', which actually makes them much more archival, both chemically and from a light sensitivity perspective. I burned two CDs and wrote details on them, but then thought that the pen itself might harm the CD. It's not supposed to, on a printable disc, but I'd prefer not to risk it at all for these master copies, so I spent time developing a paper label, and ordered some cases. I must aim to do everything to the best museum standard. Then, Peter's piano lesson, which went well.
I then ordered the Salome CD copies, the final album.
I slept badly, as I did the night before. I can't seem to relax or calm down even slightly, I feel hot all of the time.
I keep thinking of the music notation and publishing my work. This will be expensive but I will aim to do so, perhaps when I've typed up the notation for everything.
Today, more work on the Salome sheet music. Cosmic Solitude took ages, at least an hour despite the fact it was already notated to a great extent, I wanted it to be note perfect as the version I actually played. In one case, I couldn't do this, one small phrase had an extra beat, an extra note in my playing. The gentle C-minor part too varies so much in tempo, really flowing from slow to fast to slow. I make it fit and sound like four perfect bars, but actually it's more like 5, or 4.5...
These notes are, or should be really the same, but they do double in speed or more, so this fits best. Maybe I need to toy with it a bit.
Then, shopping for supplies. I must try to finish the Salome music as soon as possible.
