Expectation for today: perform an elegant theft of a very cute melody I heard on Tiktok, appropriate and make a track out of it.

Reality: my ears hurt from wearing headphones for 3 hours straight, but still no track. The possible culprits are Cubasis, MIDI-clock and sudden lack of ideas. I'll think about it tomorrow.

In the meantime, here is the beginning of my upcoming arrangement of Sam Smith's "Too Good at Goodbyes" for flute quartet of Tania x4.

Boy do I miss the concept of just taking the instrument and playing it! No MIDI-clock necessary, no effects, no Audiobus, no learning curve. What remains is this tiny detail: I can't play 4 flutes at the same time. Therefore I keep coming back to my little zoo of tricky apps every single day.
