Hello and Welcome to McComb Signature Studio. My premier project is titled Symphony V and it is an experiment in compositional processes. 

Beginning April 9, 2012, I will be composing 14 one minute melodies in Treble clef on piano.  My intention is for you, the audience, to view and comment on these short pieces. I am also asking viewers to suggest the instrument that they feel best compliments each piece. I value the opinions and insights of others and plan on using these comments to formulate the final piece.

Once all 14 pieces are composed and released, I will then begin a two week process of composing a 10-15 minute symphony out of the top 5 viewed melodies utilizing the instruments and comments suggested.  

I would like to ask members of the audience to assist in creating the final symphony by performing a section of the piece and submitting it via video/audio file. I will compile these files and premier the final symphony. 

The projected timeline for this project is as follows:

April 9th-23rd - Composition of Melody 1-14.  Melodies to be released on blog the day after composed.

April 30th - The start of composing the symphony.  Release of forms for interested individuals to perform the completed symphony.

May 13th -  Audio release of the completed symphony via Finale Garritan.

May 14th - Release of the symphonies score.

May 28th - Forms due.

June 15th - Audio/Video files due.

June 30th - Premier of Symphony V.
