Actually i dun really know how to categorize this music. Lounge music? sounds a bit old since it's modern and has beat, cool jazz/smooth jazz? dunno man...watever

But i really spent the most time on this, not becoz its the most difficult to play (quite the contrary), but its the programming that kills....had to record 1st layer with repetitive background sounds with the drum beat, then 2nd time play the various lead voices on top of the 1st layer. Again done on the Clavinova. Anyhow it was an experience, 1st one at electronica music?

K, enuff said. Here's a modified version of what i heard on my CD, Tokyo Lounge, called

Elevator (JAFFA Filla Brazillis)

Thanks for listening~Love, Jo

Think it's been sometime before i last did a recording of my piano playing.

This time, it's after the influence of jazz lessons im currently taking.

One Note Samba, has changed key, and added rhythm box (drums) and lead Spanish guitar sound...had to record twice. 1st: guitar melody line with the drums, then 2nd time playing the piano accompaniment on top of it-known as layering i guess...

Mr Cloudz said the ending was an anti-climax. Whatever...the teacher said to end it with an off beat rhythm.

Anyway, this is the appetizer of mi playing with the Clavinova, and recording layering of music. The one with more time spent is currently uploading itself...it's more like modern lounge/ cool jazz electronica music.

So, Una Note Samba 1st: (version 2, practice session)

Guess today is like the direct opp of yesterday's good fortune.

It's Friday the 13th. Of course i'd choose not to believe in any nonsense. BUT just at midnight, Stariel was standing on our bed, and dunno how she suddenly just fell over and HIT HER HEAD AGAINST MY HEAD real hard.......

Daddy carried her, and she vomitted............gosh was so worried then. He wanted to bring her straight to the doctor's, but i said let's observe her 1st. So far till today, she seems to be normal...

Then 2nd bad thing that happened is that i was feeding her a bit of lunch when she suddenly fell over again on my netbook, and the HINGE just CAME LOOSE..........gosh. And if u guys remembered, its my brand new white Eee Netbook i bought this year....sigh i dunno if i should do anything about it. Currently other that the loose and EXPOSED HINGE, it seems to be working ok...

And its raining, later im driving to work. Pray that no more misfortunes befall on me. Amen.
