full metal rough draft

This is a page of my rough draft. There are many like it but this one is mine.

Click on the image to see a bigger version. A few trivial bits to notice:

- The title at the top - JUGGERNAUT. This was the original title of the piece. This also used to be the start of the piece. It is now about a minute and a half into the piece.

- the guitar part is detuned a half-step (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb). This serves two purposes: to create some "open chords" that work better with the wind ensemble, and to make the strings more slack, so they sound nastier with distortion.

- trowels?? What trowels?!

- those big weird "X's" over the top left corner of the page? Umm, yeah... my rolling chair rolled over it. Many times. Some people have coffee rings. Some people have cigarette burns. I have rolling chair tracks.

(this score is in C. Quarter note equals 168)
