Hi Richard,
I’m sorry I haven’t let you hear from me for so long.
I’ve had some issues with say fitness… Brainfog mainly… At least that is the word I’ve been reading about in the international publications… Basically I’ve not been able to concentrate on things in general… My last conclusion is that this has something to do with cortisol. Analysing is the first step in solving the problem I guess…
Anyhow: I’m still working on the project.
Instead of making a moving storyboard, aka animatic, of pencil and ink sketches, I’m now trying to make a moodboard of A.I. generated images.
This is more difficult than people think…
But I slowly am getting the hang of it…
Here are two short segments as an example…
When I finish the (9) moodboards, I want to translate all lyrics into English. I have my tools. But I also have my sister in law who is quite educated and from London to check my translations.
When I finish the translations I want to ad Baltic polyfonic choirs. Or maybe I should say backing vocals. To make it more authentic.
These are two examples of Baltic polyphonic (backing) vocals
I’ve got more good examples of what i’m aiming for with Talking Heads and Lori Anderson live performances. But want to stay away from the gospel inspired.
Then I will be searching for the around 16 singers to enact the characters in the opera.
I think I can fund the recording studio from my own savings.
But I do not think I will be able to hire singers.
So this will be a challange…
You are a briliant singer, so I hope you will still be willing to be part of this…
I really hope this year I will be able to get the momentum (het vliegwiel / flywiel?) going and get the project on the rails again and finish it.
Hope you and your loved ones are well.
Good 2025,
Paul.
