It might have been written for some deities. Hindu deities have multiple arms. Maybe that's the reason behind those compositions.
And yeah, I remember your nieces play really well.
It is the approach needed to stop hitting our head with the imperfections of our performances. Stuff like that happens a lot. I bet recordings is just as hard regardless of expertise.
Ha, ha, ha, ha. About names, I don't know. Maybe is a thing of attachment. But it's also being open to suffer. Swans don't live that's long.
I don't have multiple arms 😂
On a serious note, it was written for the cello and chamber orchestra. I do feel how it gets "less melodic" played on the piano, but that is why it is difficult, not that much technically, but to try to overcome that lack of singing voice that the cello or violin can give. We, pianists, have to hear that in our minds and try to go with that lead.
How it is with cuatro? How do you "see" the bigger picture? How do you have to listen to your inner voice to try to get that sound on your instrument? I don't know if this has any sense hahahh, I guess it is a completely different technique.
You also know that. Well, maybe you record everything from the first attempt? Huh, I ditched 6 recordings hahaha, until I got this, again imperfect one 😂
I could stay with the first one, I made mistakes in other bars, not bigger and not smaller ones. Just slips from the keys. But before I set the recording stuff, I played better :)
Oh, I feel now like my students when they try to make me believe that they play better at home 🤣 So, maybe it is true :D
Well, recording is always hard. 6 tries? That sounds way better than me making a hundred sometimes. But there's a lot of anxiety in front of the camera. I believe in your students.
I see. So it's basically taking the whole idea to a different media. That's tough. The singing voice in your head tends to be both guide and distraction.
About the cuatro, the thing is that it was used for so long as accompaniment. Playing soloist is thinking like a pianist in some sense. You have different things to do in both hands. They are equally important. Then, there's the master of tuning and how no everything can be played in the original key. So, that's also a challenge. Not a fancy instrument with all the notes available in front of you. 😝
So, my covers have my little imperfections as part of my arrangements. 😅
Yeah, 6 is better than hundreds of attempts, but anyway, why it can't be good from the first one? Anyway, some useless question of mine haha
Yes, I need to create in my mind the phrases, and how to shape them as you know, when you press the piano key, you can't affect the sound later. It is what you imagine where that sounds go and connect it with the next note. Don't know if I can explain this
Speaking about recordings a hive open mic entry... Do you remember a few weeks ago, we have chosen you to be the spotlight artist and you can now choose the theme for week 152? Hm, we would need to know the theme, if you have it, as the image that would accompany the week should be drawn... So, if you have something in your mind, let me know here or in the post that I published some two weeks ago with the hive open mic official account. If you write it there, tag one of us. We are a bit overwhelmed as sad things happened... Thank you
P.S. If you want to check what themes were used already until now in 150 weeks, you can check on the hive open mic discord server, in the "records" channel :))
Those are still few attempts to get it right. But I get it. That's part of the OCD musicians have. 😂
I think you explained it really well. That's how things are done on most instruments except the way to produce sound varies.
About the theme, I haven't taught of anything. and truth be told, I had forgotten it entirely. But let's see, I always make my traditional music covers. I haven't seen a lot of those. Outside Venezuelan music, few artists do something about it. So let's make it
Week 152: Traditional Music
@hiveopenmic
I guess that's what you meant about tagging.
I hope everything is going better after the bad things happened. 😅
It's all fine now. Thank you once again.
The sad things, you know what I meant, that the father of one of the moderators passed away so we were a bit overwhelmed with one person less for the work. But he is back now again, Jesus. Getting better.Thank you a lot @bertrayo . I have passed now your suggestion to the whole team 🎶
I still didn't get to answer to the comments on one of my posts that I wrote several days ago, about sleep. Your comment also stays there, unanswered. I am sorry, the response will come 😔
Right, I had forgotten about that passings away. It's good that's he's back at work again.
I hope you get some rest. You deserve it. Replies can wait, but sleep can't.
