The Black World Of Solitude.

Saturday, 18 September 2010

Yesterday I went to RV to perform. It didn't go badly, but it wasn't very good either.

So yesterday wasn't a good nor a bad day. First after lugging my electric guitar and my own amp to school (the school amps do not come with distortion settings and I don't have an effects unit), along with my NCC uniform, I realised I don't need all three of them. First there was no time for my band to be tested during music lesson since the two groups took up all the time. And then I realised for NCC we only needed to report in our school uniform. -.-

Anyways NCC ended really early (2 hours earlier than before) at 4pm. I left for RV afterwards carrying my guitar and uniform while I left my amp in someone's locker. Reached RV and met the president of the students' council. Cool.

Was escorted to the council room where I placed my stuff and then I left to look for my sister who was decorating the canteen. Then I was sent back to the council room again to practise that chinese song 月亮代表我的心. Before that, met Karissa, Alicia, Li Ting, Janice, all at the canteen.

Rehearsed with the council members before having dinner and finally going up on stage to perform just that one song. It didn't go too well; there was constant audio feedback, the classical guitar I used was too soft and very little was captured by the microphone, and I stopped halfway for a few seconds without knowing why. At least I didn't screw up that badly.

Then I went home after the event was over.

Today I went back to the studio again with the band without the singer again. So with my screwed-up voice I had to take over lead vocals again, and the result with singing was crap. But we finally managed to play together without screwing up until my guitar solo, which for some reason I cannot do a proper alternate picking, so one note was accented while the others were muffled. But we did play together in time without stopping or suddenly going out of time, which was a great improvement from the practice we had on last thursday where my guitar had a problem, the drummer gave wrong timing before and after my solo, and the singer had a problem with his voice at the end-chorus. What's more, I found a pick at the studio and the owner said I could keep it. It was much smaller than the one I use (a heavy gauge one) but it is much heavier in gauge (1mm) and it is made of another material such that my fingers won't slip when i hold it, unlike the one I used originally.

So, it wasn't a good or bad day.
