Charged into the day. Recorded new vocals for 'I, Spider' and 'The Darker Matilda', then did the final balancing and volume balancing for the album. The new Tree Of Keys will be about 25% louder than the old.
The next step is the sheet music, which isn't really necessary, and may be completely useless as well as tons of work; yet, I really want and aim for all of my published music to be notated too. Perhaps nobody will care about this music (except myself!) and perhaps it will never be performed, but one can say this about so much music from the past 500 years, and yet, lots of lost or forgotten music is performed all of the time, perhaps to the surprise of the decomposing composer (if he/she were alive enough to be surprised). The minimum requirement is some sheet music.
Unfortunately, this album is very difficult to transcribe because of its nature of relaxed timing. The pitches are chromatic at least, so that's something. I tried to put together the 'Anxious Sparrow' tune today, but it was frustratingly complex despite taking a few minutes to actually play/improvise live. I have, at least, transcribed the piano parts for 'Dream of the Tao', fairly accurately, but again, and even for this simpler track, it was very difficult and took hours.
After that, I'll probably create Spotify Canvases and full videos for each track too. Those will take less time than this sheet music.
Onwards.
