Wuthering Heights, Einstein

Many slow days, at the end of the sheet music project and searching for new directions. Watched the new 'Wuthering Heights' film with Deborah on Tuesday and rather liked it, though the overtly artistic moments seemed consciously arty rather than genuine somehow, so much borrowed from Lynch, and many painting references; Vermeer, Ingres, Millet, even Francis Bacon. Excessive borrowing is not influence it's struggling for identity, someone without a creative soul desperately trying to appear artistic.

I have many possibilities for direction. I've considered everything from a new album, to more sheet music, to more audiobooks, or painting plans, or even revising my old game Bool.

Today I've toyed with a music sequence for a song called 'Einstein' but, working on the music led to a melody which didn't fit good words. I wrote some better words but these have bent the melody in strange ways. Stll unsure if I should work on it at all. Too split. Too many choices.
