New song uploaded!!

If anyone ever bothers to notice the tiny "NEWS" column at the top of the navigation column beside my blog post column,
you'd notice the title of the song has changed.

Which means.........


YES!!

A new song uploaded!!

It's an instrumental track.

I love recording instrumental tracks when I'm recording at home.

Because it doesn't have any of my terrible voice,
or terrible pitching (-.-)
And also, I'm down with loss of voice and flu,
so yeah, no vocals is WONDERFUL.

It's called "Memories" (as you've probably noticed by now)

I originally wanted lyrics,
but I couldn't figure out what to write, lol.

After all, it's another one of my songs that's dedicated to somebody.
You can read my blog entry here

I thought that perhaps it'll be good to write something without words.
Just like how they say a picture paints a thousand words,
a song without words will stir up different feelings, different emotions, different memories from each individual.

I thought maybe it'd be good if people will remember him in their own ways, instead of dictating with words their memories of him.

Of course, doing an instrumental track gave me an opportunity to try out new stuff.
Like the arrangements of the tracks, the layering of it,
it forced me to hear the melodies in my head when my hands couldn't play the 2 melodies at the same time, and I had to make sure to decipher in my head if the melodies would clash if they came together.

Recently (ok, so not so recently) I have been caught up with arrangements, like how different parts play different things and how well they blend in an orchestra. The first violin, and how the second violin backs it up, how the cellos back them up so on and so forth.

And so, I wanted to learn, play around.
And this instrumental track gave me quite a bit of opportunities to do so.
Even though it's not at the orchestra standard,
I really like playing with 2 melodies playing at the same time.

And my decision for doing as a piano solo track was inspired from PEOPLE ERROR.
Ok, so it had drums in the background, but the drums are very soft.
PEOPLE ERROR felt like it was a piano duet, even though it's not.
And I was thinking maybe it would be fun to recreate that.

Not as 2 people playing 1 piano,
but 2 people playing 2 pianos.

A very simple start.
It's just 3 different parts.
Perhaps not even good enough for a two-piano duet,
but I hope you guys will enjoy it.
