Ahh, Chad Schwartz is at it again. It’s like he never graduated from JMU. Nice arrangement though!

Three Penny Opera

// March 24th, 2009 // No Comments » // Other

I spent my monday evening recording four accompaniment tracks for Kurt Weill’s Three Penny Opera for the Theater class at the high school. The music was a lot harder than I thought and it took way more time than I would have liked. I’m uploading these just so you can see how I spent my monday night. I wouldn’t say this is the pinnacle of my piano playing, but dammit… i spent a lot of time on it!

Padding the Portfolio pt. 7

// March 22nd, 2009 // No Comments » // Music

Alrighty, this is the last one I’m doing, so it’s time to compile the portfolio! So that’s what i’ll spend this week doing. Meanwhile, here’s the last spot, another 10 second one for FlyColumbus.com. I feel like it really needs a voiceover to sell the spot, but I have no script. Otherwise I’d get Martin over here and we’d lay down a voice track like Mr. Movie-voice is still alive.

I decided to go acoustic on this one to show that I can write stuff sans-synthesizer too. There’s plenty of applications for music like this out there, so… yeah!

Once again, Youtube cut off some of the video. Try the HQ version for the full ending…!

::edit:: I guess there is no HQ version? Well, the real thing will be in my portfolio reel, so you can wait ’til then to hear that last chord!

Canon Digital EOS Rebel

I borrowed Matt’s digital camera. I have this adapter that lets me put the lenses I’ve been using on my camcorder onto the newer EOS body Canon cameras. This is what I took. Didn’t process them at all, but not too bad!
