The way I work is I start out with a simple piano "sketch" of the song, then evolve it and add layers until I have the completed piece.
Was wondering if others do the same and I'd love to hear people's original "sketch" and then what became of it...
I am not in the musical theatre community, thought I have my MFA in theater and film it was long time ago, and I focused on the Film side working in LA for years in TV production and music for film/TV and have since moved on to working as an ad executive. So TLDR I have no theater connections.
Recently I wrote a musical ("Glitch" about an Engineer who falls in love with the AI he's building) and instead of trying to get it made by creating a demo (I wouldn't know where to start) I am planning on trying to produce and polish the music myself and then releasing it on TikTok and YouTube as as an animated production - think "Epic, The musical". Not expecting it to get millions of views, but hopefully enough to show it's value to a potential producer. One of the things I learned in the entertainment industry was it is a lot easier to get interest if you can "prove" there will be an audience...
Am I crazy?
