Power got restore in the matter of days. I got the easy end of it all; I did have to clear out my bank account in order to restock the fridge and pay off some bills, so that was fun. A couple days later. I just finished one of the songs of the second movement; an orchestral version of this song.
I'll have to look at the newer Amnesia, Love & Anguish after the rest of the symphony is finished. I feel that song came from the heart, and requires extra attention; something that needs to be looked at when I'm not in "grr... move on to the next song already!" mode. Anywho, I'll be able to post a true second movement preview within a week if not less.
I've decided to add a couple more songs, Trust in Despair and Theme of The Disturbed Wind. This'll be part of a third movement. The symphony'll now have four movements, and roughly estimating 45min. of music at this rate. The music is quite pleasant. I'm shock it's coming out as well as it is. My dream is that maybe I could find a local orchestra that'll play it :)
The to do list for the symphony
- After finishing Triumph, I'll add a new movement in Emin, which will be preceded with a brass section interlude. That'll be a new song I haven't written yet.
- Remaster remaining tracks: Detail work on the orchestra songs; accompainment on the remaining harp solos.
- Perhaps write one more song.
- Proofreed entire score when finished, make sure everything flows.
- Divide Sheet music into movements.
Thank you so much for reading. I hope this helps y'all feel satisfied with information regarding what I'm up to.

You could've had it much worse, but I send my sympathies for what you had to go through. I have an aunt and uncle who live down in Florida. They live in Lake Worth and I'm not sure how hard they got hit. Hopefully not too bad.
Anyways, good luck with your future endeavors! Sorry you had to deal with Hurricane Irma. Just be grateful that you didn't end up as bad as some other people.

95% of Lake Worth has power again. Since that city's southern but eastern, I"d imagine that hurricane damage is worser but still not quite devasting like in Texas. Usually Florida gets the easy end in relative terms of Hurricane damage.
You're right, I hadn't power for just two days. Boohoo, someone play me a sad song on the world's smallest violin. I'm glad that Big Boss gave me luck; MGS is a classic video game series. Thanks Big-Boss; My dream is that an orchestra in my tri-county region would look at my work and say "Wow, this is just the right amount of annoying and pointless; I'll take 20!". Even if not, it'll be nice just to upload it on here and YouTube and just share CDs with coworkers. Writing even a medicore is an accomplishmemt worth remembering.
Thank you again for responding Big-Boss. Your relative are more than likely fine or at least evacuated and are returning safely, this long-time Floridian is sure. Thank you for the words, hopefully my music will be worth listening to when finished. You've been lovely to text chat with :)
