How not to be productive
Jul. 7th, 2006 08:27 pmI got a new bamboo flute today. I already had one, but I couldn't play it because it had a thumb-hole, and I can't play a recorder to save my life. This one doesn't have a thumb hole. I also got a simple frame drum (a bit like this one but smaller). It doesn't come with a mallet, but I'll see what I can do with it with my hands.
This flute was closer to the original key that the CMB flute part is in. Not only can it play middle C, it can play the B below it. Sort of. Because the flute is a little sharp.
So I redid the CMB flute part. It sounds better now. (Just the intro / The whole song again)
Now, at least two people, one of whom is
daemonbarak - of "you should do Sonata Arctica's 'Full Moon'" fame - have bugged me to do the following song. So I did. Nice song (esp. the intro), but geez, the singer's voice is irritating.
Yeah, I learned it in an hour (does this line sound familiar?). All harmonies improvised and original (the original doesn't *have* any harmony parts. - Well, it does. Very minor ones that I didn't do.). My enunciation sucks, but I think the arrangement is nice.
Epica - "Solitary Ground"
