Form my own or join others?

04月23日2010年 — Seren 古心弦

Should I form my own band, or should I join other girl bands that need a Bassist?

Looking through craigslist makes me wonder whether it’s better to just join the other ladies who are trying to form a girl band. Well joining others creates much less work for me and would still give me experience playing in a band. And if the leader(s) of the band already have original songs, I only need to think about writing my own part (the bassline).

On the other hand, if I create my own, I can kindda set the practice location, possible regular timings, and genre of music I want to cover, or the type of music we might write as a band.

Hmm… I’m not sure. In the mean time, let’s enjoy a classic anime-rock piece that will go down in history for a long time. You don’t have to watch anime to really dig this song.

Collaboration Weekend!

03月07日2010年 — Seren 古心弦

Teahouse rocks! WOO!

This has been a great weekend for me. As you would have known so far, I’ve started small, and have been working alone for all my music pieces. After publishing a few solo vids onto youtube, I found some GREAT people to collaborate with, and met them for the first time this weekend! But the pressure is on me, to finish recording a good piece before returning to New York. *bites nails*

First I met YZ, and I contacted her while I was still in NY. Gosh, she is really good! She picked up really fast, and is able to play the full song, even though she has not heard of the song before! I wrote her a score, but believe me, my score is terrible. There are no lines to indicate duration of each note, and no dots to indicate which octave to play at. But she got it. That was so cool..

The best thing about her is that she was really kind. I mean, who am I for her to help me? She really didn’t have to. Best of all, she even introduced me to another guy to collaborate a second song with! And do you know who she introduced me to?

It’s coligar the PRO. *gasp* I’ll do a duet video with him, we’ll see how that goes.

Anyway I’m gonna meet YZ again on Wednesday to do a recording for a Michael Jackson Tribute in June. And perhaps, I will try to produce a score for her favorite song as a gift for her. Hmmm… :-)

===============

Next, I met a new bunch of guys for Band Practice, first time ever in my life!

It’s been a great weekend, mostly so because it’s feels good meeting people who are really serious about music. I can’t wait for the next collaboration and band practice. :-)
