RE: The Narrative Of A Composer

in #cwh2 months ago

Hi Steve!

No I have tried diffrent models but all seem to fall short. However I have been able to keep track of them but sorting them in a folder structure on Dropbox, where I both share and store finished and work-in-progress. I also do and back of the whole shabang on both G-drive and an external harddrive.

Sort:  

Always good to have backups. I've lost files on a bad drive.

In 2008, the same year I had to stop playing my Viola and violin due to shaking, my computer's hard drive broke and I lost 6 years worth of composing. Among them my first full-length symphony (37 mins long for a large orchestra, which took me almost 3 years to finish!), three stringquartets, other chamber music, and choir pieces. About 35 hours of music lost... So I'm not taking any chances now!

That's terrible, but you learnt a lesson.
