Well that was a rather long and undisclosed break/hiatus/whatever you want to call it. I kinda didn't even plan it but it happened anyway. I just kinda lost the buzz. But I'm back. SO what has happened since? Well first off I got a turntable for Christmas (yes 7 1/2 months ago :-O). I found my grandparents have a huge, i.e. 300+, stack of LPs in their attic that they've said I can take whatever I want from which is pretty awesome for a semi-audiophile like me. Currently I've got about 20-30 singles and LPs in my makeshift cabinet (the box the turntable came in) and of those I have so far digitised:
- Antmusic (single) - Adam and the Ants
- Abbey Road - The Beatles
- Walk of Life (single) - Dire Straits
- ELO Greatest Hits - Electric Light Orchestra
- The Big Picture - Michael W. Smith
- Graceland - Paul Simon
which isn't really that many considering how many are sitting in the box.
I'm going to update the 'What I'm Playing' box soon as its really outdated. I'm currently working through a Beethoven sonata among other things which is cool since I've never played an entire sonata before. I'm also trying to arrange Someone Like You by Adele which sounds easy since its played entirely on piano anyway but since I can't hope to sing anything like as good as her I'm trying, with minimal success, to incorporate the melody into the arrangement.
As a side note the Tron: Legacy soundtrack was dissapointing. There was too much mediocre orchestra and not enough Daft Punk and, although some tracks were stunning, overall it just sounded like every other movie soundtrack being made. The movie itself was awesome though :D
