I wanted to share a really creative and inspiring music video with you all, it’s by Coldplay and it’s called “Strawberry Swing”. You can see it here!

It’s mind-numbing to think about how much work went into this music video, I really enjoy watching it.

Composition 2

I know it was asked in class, but who will be in the Composition 2 class next semester?

Gah

I realize that to produce music it is extremely useful to use the notation software, however, I really miss the old fashioned hand written way. (Perhaps this could be due to my lack of technical know how.)

So this is a link to my music page, it’s all pretty old stuff, but you might enjoy it - Rob Rice Music.

In a search for some good A Cappella music to perform with my ensemble (Gemini Blvd.), I was shown this by a friend.  Note, however, that it isn’t actually Rockapella, despite what the link says.

A message board I post on is trying to start up some collaborative art project, so I took someone’s chord progression and sang it out into Garage Band.  My upper register is a little shaky, but I think it’s not too bad!  What do you guys think?

Well, the more I try to get what I already started on my project finished the more I come up with new ideas. I seem to be going back to the same points and playing with the melodies when I discover something that may sound better there. I feel like I am going in a circle at the moment.
