I'm a guy who used to write lots and lots of music. My lack of success became a little troubling, so now I write about Belltown and photograph squirrels. You got a problem with that?

One Day Wonder #24

For 1 trumpet and 1 trombone.

At first, I hated this piece more than anything. After writing all this full-on stuff, I couldn’t handle its starkness. But nowadays, I like it fine precisely for that reason. I particularly like the insistent nature of the muted trumpet. Yes, the piece is short. I know that I'm trying to write longer pieces, but when I'm writing something that I hate, I tend to make it as short as possible in order to put an end to the agony. Since I don't hate it any more, I just think of it as a short invention that features a bitchy little trumpet part.
