Recently I rediscovered some mind maps that I had made back in 2006, outlining some musical ideas, goals and projects. Two stuck out. One was a composition idea going back to 1985 and is so huge in scale that my professor at college suggested that I would need to think about it for at least 30 years! I think starting to write my daily pieces was part of the preparation for that project. The other composition is an idea for an opera. Both of these projects are very pertinent to what is going on today
