Don’t be scared… I’m not writing a horror tale today. Just wanted to introduce and welcome this cute and cool creature to my family. This fellow on the left is not our pet, but he was handpicked to feature in my 10-year-old, Vincent’s first music composition that entitled, ‘Flight of the Gargoyles’. It’s a long story how this gargoyle caught our eyes and now he’s going to be a center of attention!
We have decided to adopt Victor Gargoyle after Vincent finished his composition. Victor may look weird and ugly, but we’re going to make him a star because of his strong determination in learning how to fly for the first time…
Flight of the Gargoyles depicts some peculiar experience of Victor and other baby gargoyles during their first flying lesson. Victor felt uncertain whether he could hover and caper in the air skillfully. Victor experienced both fun and dreadful moments while trying to leap and frolic from one building to another. Being a persistent kind of guy with strong determination, Victor managed to land on the ground confidently and gracefully. A happy ending, that is.
This post is just a glimpse of the story ‘Flight of the Gargoyles’ . It’s 5 o’clock in the morning now, I thought I should have my train of thoughts recorded down before my imagination and ideas run dry. Honestly, fiction is NOT my cup of tea.
While our little Vincent is getting Flight of the Gargoyles’ sound track ready, I am going to prepare a charming costume for him on his BIG day. Vincent will perform Flight of the Gargoyles at the Yamaha Music Junior Original Composition (JOC) Concert on March 27th at MATIC (Malaysia Tourism Center) in Ampang.
Working on Flight of the Gargoyles has been a cool experience for us, indeed. Thank you all for your support and encouraging words for Vincent, a boy of few words and emotions as unpredictable as those of Beethoven’s!
At times, Vincent seemed confused saying that he didn’t like his music, but his firm sense of purpose is what keeps him going. I really hope it’s worth ‘adopting’ Victor Gargoyles into the family. I’m sure this imaginary friend will definitely help Vincent bringing out Flight of the Gargoyles with a dramatic touch. Until then…please stay tuned for our updates.
