I do enjoy the image of you sitting by your keyboard, strumming away and letting it all linger and then making notes...sometimes frantically, other times, slowly...probably on a computer instead of paper and a quill, as I would be prone to imagine it, of course...*chuckle*...but very nice nonetheless!
That's one good thing about composing...it's like...writing a story, and having someone read it aloud. It's the same when someone plays something you composed, I suppose. A very private experience becomes shared in a way that the visual arts can't quite reach in the level of privacy, I feel.
I considered doing a livestream of it, but I figured that'd be one more distraction I didn't need with the deadline looming.
I usually use paper at first and then notate it later into the computer. That way I can proofread what I did while I'm notating it for the second time.
I definitely understand what you mean. The essence of me is encapsulated in almost every way in the pieces that were on this recital, especially the "Songs of Love and Longing" (starting with Ready for Love). I'm not a very emotionally open person, so putting these out there to people that I see in class every day was a bit scary. People were somewhat shocked about what they saw. I'm not sure I like the fact that I played my hand somewhat, but that's the cost of being a good performer.
Hmmm...I don't think I could ever do a livestream of my writing...that'd feel...too naked, somehow. *chuckle*
Which sounds like a good method, and there is always the kinaesthetic pleasure of pen and paper that can't be replicated by anything electronic.
I know the feeling, since besides what I post here, I have had some things written by me performed in public in front of live audience...which adds another interesting dimension to it, certainly.
Your art shocked them? Then it worked perfectly. It must've felt fantastic. I almost envy you now! *smiles*
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
