stalemate

So here I am, writing my brains out on a Saturday. The gig: write something fun that sounds like "money". It's got to be finished by Monday morning, so I can record the musicians. That means all the writing, hiring of musicians, and copying of parts has to happen tonight and tomorrow. Originally this was going to be a brass quintet, but I decided it was too likely to get shot down, so I've gone for a Baroque chamber orchestra in a jaunty cut-time dance to see if that'll fit the bill.

I wrote half of it, turned it into an mp3, and sent it to the producer. Called him up -- he's gone out to dinner. I have no idea whether this is gonna do the trick, or he'll want something faster, or more modern, or... so now all I can do is wait...
