Light Be With You Orchestration

I thought I was supposed to be at work today.  Was halfway there when I thought to look at the schedule I keep in my car, and saw I had the rare Tuesday off.  I don't like having Tuesdays off... can't play WoW!

Seriously, though, it gave me a chance to work on my music again, and today I decided to expand the orchestration on "Light Be With You."

The things I do when I'm bored, updates on Elren

"Light" update, and unguilded RP

I spent my day off doing chores and mucking with music again.  I've switched to recording 'Light Be With You,' as it's a shorter, easier song.  I am recording one phrase at a time.  I have one verse completed out of three.

I like WoW holidays, although they make a great excuse not to be doing stuff in real life.  Right now I'm having Derscha fly around to all the elders. Doing EK today, Kalimdor tomorrow.  I enjoy the 'go everywhere in the world!' quests, even if it's just a lot of flying.

Someone nonfictional!

Look, I'm making a post, and it's not some unholy hour of the night!

That's because I specifically refrained from writing this last night.

So, my fictional readers, are you still fictional? Because I know I had at least one real person visit.

Or rather, nonfictional person who role-plays a fictional character. Whatever.

Anytime, Anywhere


Well, I went and did it. I published something on YouTube.

As of this writing, the song is barely 24 hours old, and I already have it published and getting feedback. It did not exist 26 hours ago, but it's already out of my hands.

That's quite a turn around from my last post, don't you think?

"Bells of Stormwind" on Paper, "Lady" getting better

Well, I met my goal for the month! I have one piece of music written.

I finally wrote out "When the Bells of Stormwind Ring," along with a simple piano accompaniment. (I took a quick stab at recording my voice to it, but it came out worse than "Lady by the Lake."  WTB singer, etc., sigh...)

I feel better having met my self-imposed goal, even it it means I'm making yet another late night post.

Recording

Progress: I have actually been practicing music this past week.

I haven't written anything, so I still have to work on that, but I have have sat down at the piano, and I have been vocalizing and recording myself to help my voice improve.  And it has!

It's still horrible, mind you, but it's merely horrible and not OMG I'M BLEEDING FROM MY EARS.

I'm back...? Plus, a short RP story

Okay.

Well, there went a month.

I can blame the holidays, family birthdays, and all of that, but the truth was, I was simply avoiding doing any music. I had the opportunity to open my files on several occasions, and chose not to.

This is why I need this blog to help motivate me.
