EPTThen after that there's actually finding a time to use the campus studio to record everything (or alternatively invest in a few mics and record in-dorm while I still live in an antisocial skyscraper, next year I'm moving to one of the loudest places on campus and after that a dorm becomes a necessity).
Then a few long
And that's just the demo. I get to redo this whole process for an opera, and the only way I can keep myself motivated is by increasing the scale of the thing. 80 people becomes 100 becomes 120 becomes 150. Length is becoming an issue - 10 songs is coming out too short for a decent-sized story since a lot of the hour is taken up by solos, orchestral shenanigans, a soliloquy, 12 songs is a bit too long (pushing 70-75 minutes), and 11 doesn't work. Things sound out of place. The numbers won't make any sense with eleven.
It's like I want to lift a heavy rock onto a table, and I'm periodically raising the legs of the table.
More time to practice my own singing though.
At any rate, I'm still throwing ideas around, some of which I might bring into the opera, so I might as well share some of the progress I've had:

At some point I'll have the demo though
However slowly it goes, I have too much riding on this project for me to even consider killing it.Oh and blame the writer's block on the reason why I haven't collabbed yet with Epashit.
