EnEx is finally complete!

It seems like I've neglected this blog for quite some time.

I'll just make school my excuse. ;)

Anywho, I decided I'll share my studio recorded song that I composed, recorded and produced as part of my EnEx project! (for those who don't know what EnEx is, click here)
I can't even explain how excited and nervous I am to share it, but I've gotten some great feedback so far, and I'm hoping it will continue to be that way.

So, it's not a top hit or anything, but it's me. And I'm very proud of this, and how I've come so far in my musical endeavours. Honestly, I can't even believe I was given this opportunity. The entire atmosphere of working in a recording studio was incredible, and I'll never forget such an experience.

 

As for the song, I'll try to find a way to post it but blogger doesn't like me so I'm not sure how that will work out...

I Was At A Recording Studio.

Yup. That's right.

I'm working with a music producer. I'm trying to hold all my excitement...

Nah.

I'M SO EXCITED. AHHHHH! ASDFGHJKL!

Remember when I mentioned I had an Enex project? Yeah, that's what it's for. Nonetheless, I'm getting the opportunity of a lifetime. :)

I was at the studio the other day and it was amazing. The studio looked incredible and I can't wait to work with the equipment and start recording. That meeting was my first meeting, where we talked about the project requirements and how this assignment actually works.

Recording an original song soon! I can't wait! One problem... What song should I record?

Leave me a comment! :)

I just realized that I'm going to get marked on my song...

December = EnEx

Well... HI.

I guess I'm a stranger to you because I haven't posted in ages.
WELL, I'M SORRY. SCHOOL IS TOUGH YA'KNOW

I'm now back on track to my musical endeavours! Which is why I'm giving an update. :)

I'm back on the third (and final) instalment of my EnEx project. For those who don't know, it's a project where we go beyond our comfort zones and learn more about a career and/or passion.

Mine is, of course, music production... again.

THIS YEAR WE GET TO WORK WITH A MENTOR. AHHHH.

And that means... I get to produce a song!

The purpose of this assignment is to get out of our little bubble that we call comfort and work on "real life" skills. This means finding a mentor, getting one, working with one, etc. It's a lot harder and stressful that it sounds, because we have to do assignments (i.e progress logs, reflections, other paperwork, evaluations) but I think it is worth it.

I mean, it's not every day I will get to work with a producer, let alone make a song, perhaps?

This project will be over the course of the next 5 months or so. I'll keep updates on here as well. :D

Sorry, no song today. I know, bummer. Winter break is coming up soon... I'll post a song then. How 'bout that? :)

Happy December!

Ours- Taylor Swift cover

Why didn't I make a youtube before? I'm liking this. :)

Here's my cover of Ours by Taylor Swift. Hopefully, it's much better than my last video. (I'm going to work on that...)

Hope you liked it!

Yes. I know. I'm really awkward in introducing and concluding.

I need your opinion. My last video (Hey Darling) was recorded on my camcorder and this one in photo booth. Which one is better? (in terms of audio and video quality.)

Also, I finally got a macbook pro, which means one thing... GARAGEBAND. :)
Mac + Summer = Recording.

Can't wait!

Project Time... Once Again

I wrote about half of a song yesterday for my project.
Here it goes.

Think about the memories,
Save them like a keepsakes in your heart.

I know we're on different journeys,
But keep an image in your mind.

It doesn't have to be in a frame,
You don't have to look at it every day.
Just take a glance every once in a while,
I hope it makes you smile.

*chorus*
Everywhere I go, my mind wanders away,
A flashback pops in my head, driving me insane,
And you will come and go, like time ticking each day.
The memories are in my heart, like a picture,
In a picture frame.

That's all I've got!

Over-and-out.

Project time!

I finally found the song I'm going to use for my project!!
It's called Don't Let Go. (CLICK ON IT!!! haha.)

Yeah, I love using links in my posts. It's fun. I'm hyper now.

For this song, I'm only going to be recording the chorus and posting it onto my powerpoint. Although I've been complaining about not having any equipment for recording, I am going to work in the music room at my school. Omigosh! It's amazing! There's a lot of music equipment there! What a dream come true. :)

Unfortunately the presentation has to be a maximum of 5 minutes long. 

I'm still crossing my fingers and hopefully I will end up posting my first "recorded" song on here soon!

holaholahola.

My Spanish is legit.
Anyway, it's pretty ironic how I end up adding posts for 4 days in a row or something, then I stop posting for 3 days, and start posting again. It seems to be a trend.

So, I'm working on a project. It's called ENEX. (Enrichment Exploration.)
Yes, it sounds cool. Very cool.
We have to choose a topic for either
1. a future career
OR
2. a passion

I chose something somewhat in the middle... more on the passion side.
Can you guess? It's quite obvious.
Music Recording/Production!!!!

It's a powerpoint presentaion and I'm also going to create background music. Along with the music, I'm going to play Tino and sing an original. Yes, I'm hoping to get high marks for the "wow factor."

It's due in 3 weeks. Thank goodness I'm ALMOST done. Kind of. At least I'm not procrastinating. 

I'm crossing my fingers!!!
