Okay it might be a 3rd plug now!

Okay, my first song has been modified for the forth times now.
First, it was the arrangement. then it was the lyric, then it was the vocal performance and today they said the song form!
So instead of the original A1-B1-C1-A2-B2-C1-C2, it is now A1-B1-C1-B2-CI-C2-A2.
So the arrangement is to be re-done, and the is vocal to be re-sing.
Now they say it could be the 3rd plug song. No promise but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Yesterday was a fun day. Finally had the chance to meet other new writers from eastasia at the CASH workshop. It is nice to exchange ideas with other composers!!! yeah!

Hello, anyone seen my melody?



I waited for the weekend and hoping to compose something. I had this melody in my head for the whole week but then... when I started my mac, the hard drive was not working... what a nightmare. I end up fixing my Mac for 4 hours, luckily, all projects stayed intact. But then I totally forgot the melody. When it's gone, it's gone. May be it will just come out again sometime when I am relaxed, very relaxed. I was told by my lecturer in cognition science ( yeah, my BA in visual communication was based on cognition science theory). That my brain is actually still processing it in the background. So it should come out again one day.

Recording with Cherry





My song is properly recorded in a studio today. My friend Tse Kit is the producer of the album where young Cherry is the artist. She did a few of my demos before and I am happy that she is going to be the singer of my song.

This is one of the first song that I seriously composed and made a finished demo in July 2006. The original demo is called " 抬起頭.笑著走 ". Lyric by Betty and vocal by Carol.

I felt great seeing them giving life to my song, and I really look forward to hear the final mastering.
