October 31--Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Google Day #..4 now? Something like that.

First thing I did today was played Grace (Park)'s composition... If she'll let me, maybe I can post it on here too. :D
Second thing was playing through the chunk of the song that Grace (Jeong) and I are playing. We got through it with minor mistakes!! Yay.

Since all of the above were recorded with the same camera, and the files are too big to email, the memory card is being passed among the three of us for uploading. Therefore, I don't have the videos now. They'll be up by the end of the week.

October 17 (repost from other blog)

Because of weird technical difficulties, this is a new blog. In case you want to see our previous blog posts, go herehttp://lohsband.blogspot.com/
and click on the one boringly titled as "Google Project".
I may go back sooner or later and just repost them all from there onto here. Maybe I'll play around with backdating them?




Alright on with the show!
I worked on this over the weekend, forgot to post it.
OH right and our piano is HORRENDOUSLY out of tune. Just warning you all~

Since I recorded it on my phone, it cuts off. :(
Apologize--OneRepublic.
Just an intro, started messing up playing around at the end. :D
As of now, I can play the beginning, first verse, chorus, second verse with minor occurences, and second chorus (basically same as the first). It's the last bit that's really weird with the two hands going different ways. . .

Another little video, for fun:

Love Story--Taylor Swift
first time reading it for real, so it was fun. And a mess. Well, at least it's recognizable. (what do you think...? :D )

Edit: We'll continue posting on to this blog, the other will be deleted. 

Google Day October 5

The second and third part are starting to get really boring. Still working on intonation (really hard to keep constant), but other than that i think i could record the final version very soon. But besides keeping every note in tune, rhythm and counting (My life-long musical flaw) could always use some work.

Besides this song though, I was thinking of playing others by Coldplay like Paradise or perhaps barge in on Katie's Apologize piece...No matter what, I for sure want to do more and do it with my violin and trumpet.

October 6

Meant to post yesterday, but midnight didn't seem like a nice time to be on the computer so...
It's already October and the Google Project is moving fast. Let's see how getting a video on here works...

Viva la Vida, first recorded go at it. Terrible at recording myself, always scare myself or something. :)
After listening to it, its easier to tell what to work on. Not too familiar with the song, so I'll listen to it more.
I also worked with Grace on the Spirited Away song. Sounding good! I have some recordings of that, but I'll save them. I also want to record my piano playing of Apologize. I'm almost through the whole thing, so it should be easy enough.

edit: I still haven't figured out why this blog is titled "Google Project" on the LO Band's main page. I've changed every title and searched through it all... Somehow this blog's been tagged that name already. I wonder if I have to make a new blog altogether?

Week of September 25

Working hard on the violin, gonna take time to get back into it and have it sound nice. But during the time i was working between listening to the song and looking at the music. I listened to another Coldplay song and tried playing it...I really need to work on playing by ear.
