My day in review

I spent most of the day tinkering around with different things.

First, I worked on structuring the lyrics I’ve been writing the past week. It’s finally coming together, I think it’s an okay bunch of words.

I then tried to compose the chorus part on the Tenori-On. I had worked out the main body of the melody earlier last week but I have been struggling with the hook. I’m still struggling.

I then watched a few videos on how to play piano on YouTube. This was really fun. I learned part of Let It Be and Imagine. I am really enjoying the versatility of the microKorg. I wish I can actually learn how to play it properly. It’s fun enough as a vocoder or a ethereal sound generator, but it would be a shame if that’s all I use it for. I have to make an effort to learn how to play it.

I also poked around Cakewalk Sonar 7… It seem’s pretty straightforward. I learned how to record stuff as seperate tracks. Next time I explore it I have to figure out how the sound editing and splicing part works.
To wrap up my day I pulled out the theremin and practiced playing Love Me Tender by Elvis. I think I’m getting better. I might try to find other songs to play.

Over all, this has been a very productive day of exploration. I feel like my lateral approach at learning may be working. It seems like my time with the keyboard is helping me understand the theremin and the Tenori-On much better and vice versa.
