Between night job and daylight sleeping (covering the broadcasting of Winter Olympic Games 2014 at Sochi on an important Mexico TV channel)I managed to work on Hans Zimmer's "Destiny's Door" song, for Bleeding Fingers contest in a timelapse of a few days when I wasn't working or sleeping.
The silly and disappointing part of the story starts right here. By mistake, I thought the deadline ended on 19th February on USA time...
Unfortunately I noticed the contest just closed a few hours ago in the morning when I came back to home to give the final touches, because the deadline was refering to UTC time! not GMT-6, I know, I know... But in my defense, the rules link were "hidden" in the lowermost part of the page with small words... An overwhelming feeling catched me, I was angry, upset, sad. I closed the project session, and even was about to delete the song for good! Nonetheless, I entered a kind of crysis, thinking about past events, life, choices, and my future career as a producer and doing the things I love... it was a catharsis, an encounter with my self, finally I felt asleep.
That same morning (or afternoon, the same for me on those days) a facebook contact waked me up with a message, it reads: "¿Cómo te trata el destino?" a phrase on spanish meaning "How's life is going?", How's your destiny going? the curious part, is she used the word "destiny". No one in ages had asked me that...
So, a few days ago finally I had the time to actually finish the rework, and upload it to show you all the result and climax of the past weird weeks of night breakfast, snow on the monitors, midnight races on office chairs, olympic records, and other hard but great moments that I'll never forget.
The contest could be closed, but Destiny's Door is always open...
