  • Elevator (lounge/cool jazz)

    Thursday, Nov 19, 2009 11:38AM / Members only

    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

  • Una Note Samba (version 2)

    Thursday, Nov 19, 2009 1:31AM / Members only

    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)

    Starring
     
    Wang Qiyao               Mr Cheng
     
    Kang Mingxun
     
    (or rather the characters im more interested in...heh)
     
    Follows a legendary Shanghai beauty from her glamorous days to her simpler life as she struggles to preserve the dignity of her past while surviving the constant betrayal of her men. She stands tall and proud as she bears witness to the waves of changes to her city from 1947 to 1981, until one wave finally overwhelms her.
     
    Basically Wang Qiyao has lot of men in her life as all her relationships dun seem to last long, since the men have to leave her due to some circumstances. Mr Cheng is the photographer that 'discovered' her to join a beauty pagent and she became the mistress of a government official. Subsequently, Kang Mingxun was another random guy she met and had a baby with. But he had to leave the country too...Was attracted to the old Shanghai settings of the movie...but yeah a bit slow and long, was watching on TV, resting between my busy weekend of classes, but it ended up till nearing 1am... @@
     
     
  • Friday the 13th

    Friday, Nov 13, 2009 2:14PM / Members only

    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.

    We have donuts of all flavors and varieties over here too (of course!). It's funny though that donut holes are usually only the glazed, plain flavor. Hm. Wouldn't choc donuts w/ sprinkles also have "holes?" haha. jk.

    I would post some, but I don't have any. We both think we are pretty non-photogenic. He doesn't like getting his photo taken and neither do I. I'm ugly. He's so much better lookin' than I am.

    I'm more of a fan of blue-red lipcolors. Think that works better with my darker olive complexion. I think your pinks and perhaps peach/oranges would look good on you. I used to do pink but the deeper pinks. If you go to the make-up counters, it's best to try them on, along with listening to the saleslady's advice.

    Oh guess what we are already added together. Actually it sounds pretty great the parts I heard. Do you wanna play on some of my demos? I assume you have a mic for recording right?
