General
Alright, so, here's the outline of three musical ideas that I want to flesh out in the near future. Each with varying degrees of urgency. And all of them very, very different.
Project 1: "PTildobliT"
Weird name, I know. But it's (for the most part) a reflective palindrome. If you take "Tildo" and put it with a mirror, it spells "TildobliT", hence the name. The P is there because I also want to put a Prelude before the Palindrome, and some what I've seen, just putting "Prelude and [Main Part]" works wonders.
So, I've been inspired by the Flecktones (what a surprise), to write a Musical Palindrome. The one that they've released is called "UFO-TOFU", which each letter corresponding to a different section. So, the U (Intro) section, is played first and last in the piece, the F section is played after the first U and before the second U, and so on. It's a great piece and I highly recommend listening to it. I geek out about it. a lot.
Anyways, my idea is slightly different. My idea is that somewhere in the "O" section (of TildobilT), it would flip back on itself. Halfway through said section, everything would be started to be played again.... but backwards. Possibly in a Minor Key. So, if a Bb-Major scale is played ascending, the corresponding measure would be a Descending G-Minor scale. Something like that. Mathematically sound, just will be ridiculous to write and pull off in concert.
Also, it'd be funny to say "The P is silent" and have the "Prelude" just be a fermata over a rest.
Project 2: "The Sinister Minister" (Bela Fleck and the Flecktones) Pep Tune.
This is an idea I had. Arrange this song as a Pep tune, sans the solos. The melodies in the chorus would sound so cool. That, and the Tubas can already play the bass line (The senior loves the song and plays it a lot, both on Tuba and Bass).

Project 3: "Equus" (Eric Whitacre) for Percussion Ensemble
A ridiculously ridiculous piece for Symphonic Wind Band by choral superstar Eric Whitacre. Another piece I'd recommend highly. Arranging it for Percussion Ensemble could be amazing. Just have to do this before I leave for College so I can borrow the score from school.
Questions, Ideas, Concerns, Bueller?
