When I watched the Grand Annex version of "Whoa" before coming I was disheartened that so much of it was improvised.  I thought I'd just be polishing before the video shoot at Keshet.

But then I realized that if the piece isn't set, I might as well use takebachi.  So I worked out a schedule for tackling the various sections of the piece and started re-writing.

I haven't been taking daily notes (no internet at Minh's place) but the daily schedule has been...

practice in the morning
mid-day studio time
practice in the afternoon

Generally speaking, I'm feeling inspired every day.  I like the Whoa electronic music and like what I've been improvising to it.  I don't need to set the early parts (they can remain largely improvised) but I'm finding it fun to notate improvised parts and try and polish them.  We'll see if that proves to be a good approach.  The mindset of remembering might not be as flattering as the mindset of improvisation.
