It's Sunday!!
Rainy day here, but a Sunday has to be celebrated with...? Yes, with a Sunday guessing game!!! You already guessed one of my questions if you thought the same and opened this post to participate in it. If you didn't want to participate, then you probably came to see the update on how my new friend Voyager and I managed to cooperate this morning in our gig. Well, there is always an option you didn't want to participate in the game and you were not interested in that transporting a piano topic either... Still, maybe you wanted to listen to some piano music? Do I hear a shy YES?
Then it will come too but in the mixture of all aforementioned themes. Game, update and music :)))
Piano and studying struggles
First things first: Piano topic and some kind of struggles occurred connected with it. These days I tried to find time to practice a bit the piano. One of the days I went early to the school to make my space and time for that activity. Hm, in the piece I was studying I was speeding up in some parts when there is more action and emotion. I have to control that, as I easily get into that uncontrolled state of playing out of pace when my mind is not in the charge hahaha. {Not funny, but it is}. So, if you are a musician you know what can help, right? Oh yeah, that small thingy called metronome. For non-musician readers here comes a representation of it, in the form of a humble photo:
You could ask what about this, is it something so important it has to come to our blockchain and stay here documented forever? Well, it was very very mischievous with me :D It refused to listen to me and didn't want to help me. Can you believe it? The pendulum just got lazy and was slowing down and finally, stopped. It stopped!! The clicking sound of the mechanism that is supposed to mark the beat at the pace the weighted pendulum swings back and forth ceased. No beats, no swings. Well, then no music either from me!!
Only if I could be that angry and play the offended person role... So, my music continued, but you have to know this, the metronome was playing around with me and made this stopping thing every single time. (a little teaser, it will come in the video...)
Voyager and gig
Happy, happy, happy meeee! Yesterday evening I was a bit worried. I packed all the things I needed in Voyager and wow, it was heavy. The bag itself also weighs almost 5 kg, but with the piano, score stand, music sheets, cables, personal stuff... it was pretty heavy. But it was a super easy thing this morning, also I parked just in the front of the hotel, like max. 5 steps from the entrance, I guess I was lucky. It was a super comfortable experience pulling it, compared to carrying it on shoulders. And you remember that I thought I had to order a few cm longer bag? Well, no, it is perfect how it is. The last thing I mentioned as a drawback, that it was not stable standing upright, was solved in this way {smart, isn't it :D} :
THE END!
Thanks for reading this post...
Oh, you are still here and asking yourself where is the guessing part?
Ok, could be connected with the first photo instead of a juice today...? Did I eat that flower? Was it tasty? But, you see, nothing of that. Today's guessing game is connected with music and the metronome thing!!!
I recorded that act of rebellion of the metronome and mixed it with some music I recorded yesterday.
The music... I changed the original thing. It was not written for the piano. It does not have that kind of accompaniment. The tune, yes, it can be recognized...{we are slowly approaching the question}. Well, more questions. Last week it went so quickly that people that came later had no chance to participate, so I am making it a bit more difficult. It doesn't mean that there were not be those that will not guess everything from the first attempt, but let us see.
I recorded the metronome thing in a couple of short videos, some will be repeated in the video. But just the first recording can be heard with the clicking sound. The other "clicks" you should imagine :D
The questions:
1. How many beats was marked by the metronome in total in this video?
Note - those beats that can be heard at the beginning of the video also count!
2. What is the piece I am playing as background music?
The first who guesses the correct number of metronome clicks and the name of the music will be the winner. Or, if you are lazy to count and all, the funniest answer could also receive some surprise. Maybe! Don't forget to have fun :))
▶️ 3Speak
I counted 26
And the name of the music - sorry me unsolvable crossford 😂
So far nobody solved the mystery!
But thank you for your guess, I appreciate your time to try to answer the first question.
A greeting @ludmila.kyriakou 🤗
My IQ is weak 😂
Does 13 fit?
This is what I thought at first :-)
Or has mine IQ gone down even more? 🤣
I was so darn thirsty, but no fruit cocktail to drink pfffff .... wait... pffffew, that was nice; just drank a bottle of cold water. Now am ok to continue with this comment...
Challenge:
Is your friend a personification of some sort? When so, any relation with all the others? Deadline, Time, Soon and Mañana?
I am sorry that no drinks came this time. Anyway, those fruit juices are something you would not try and I had not just water with me to offer here :)
Not even my tears!
Of course, it is a personification of my voyages! Maybe even to visit the cool family, if they invite me ever!
"I dont have active memory" darn your memory is super good!
not that bad for the age I have... soon and my memory skills will be even better :D
otherwise, when lack of memory, there is HIVE that can and will hold all info you give it 🙃
True :)
though not everything stayed here forever, there are things that disappeared. some of my old posts, that were published through 3speak lost the photos in them. but ok
The crux is the use of text! Text is stored on the blockchain. Media is not, they are stored in some centralised or some other kinda decentralised storage. I believe images are stored centralised on the hive.
1: 84 beats
2 The music is infectious but doesn't ring a bell. Without a shred of shame though I admit i tried to Shazam it, well that proved to be silly and didn't turn out as i had hoped it would...
Hahaha Shazam....I knew the professional ones will try to use it :D so, I changed the intro (first 4 measures) adding the chords and making it sound deeper and more heavy as it is in original...
Later, there is no such an accompaniment in the left hand I added...
And as I said, it's not a song from a singer or a band... you would not listen to it in your pastime... it isn't a classical piece either...
Ok, girls and boys @khaleesii , @leaky20 , @musicandreview , @almostsober , @samostically and all who would still try to guess: it has something to do with a thing you would watch on the TV :)))
From a tv show I guess 😆 still wouldn't get it.
"it has something to do with a thing you would watch on the TV :)))"
Well, this clue helps but not that much 😅. I'll have to investigate further, it shouldn't be that hard.
hm, no, it shouldn't be that hard, if you like the same style of series as I :D
Hahahaha, @mipiano i tried to shazam it too😅
😂😂 either Shazam can help here 😁
Ok, I gave a small hint in one of the comments, tagged you too! :))
You just described the evil that all of us musicians suffer from 😂😂. I somepre speed up in those climactic parts or choruses of songs, it's kind of inevitable not to get carried away with that off tempo passion.
I've already resigned myself to guessing 🥱😆😔, and I'll also tell you a secret: I've never used a metronome 😂. But enjoy the piano music! Quite a caress for the soul. Greetings sister! 🤗
hahha, the evil we all suffer from. Maybe not all, there are lucky ones who can avoid this :D
No guess from you? Come on, it is not even the fruit juice thing but music :)
I see, I have to bring back the smoothie things next Sunday :)
Sounds like the Dexter theme chords to me. Pretty nice !
Posted via inji.com
ooooooow, I need the answer to both questions;)))
mmm
oh no ! only 4 click... and Dexter theme !
How now just only 4 clicks?? 😂
{There was a comment where I said "perhaps 4", but it was a part of the joke}
Come on, a techno soul has to live close to beats...:D
But I know, I know, this video hypnotized everyone so because of that we still don't have the exact number of the ticks and tacks :))
Yeah haha. I kind of cheated on this one tbh :D
I counted 72 clicks in total watching the video, more or less (hard to be precise there)
So I'll try, my final words are :
I like your persistence 😎
I will wait maybe one more day before the final results/winners are announced :))
😇🎶
Nice post and really creative contest!
I will guess it was at least 3 clicks, perhaps 5. And for the song, at first my phone was on mute so it was the sound of silence XD
!1UP
Yeah, maybe 4 :))
This answer made me laugh so much!!! Your phone on mute is the perfect way to go for this guessing game!!! {LOL}
Thank you for the 1UP token 😎🙌
When will we know the answer? :-)
Leaving one day more open the questions :)))
So I hope tomorrow evening I can make an announcement :)
I'm really glad you laughed XD
And you are welcome! Thanks for posting quality content
I did indeed, I really enjoyed these funny answers the post received :))
That’s so great to hear it went all well with the voyager. Your new case. 🥳
Especially as you were a bit worried.
Glad it was good and you are happy 😊😁
Good night @mipiano 😴
Yes, I was pleased with the results, everything went really good.
And I was also a bit proud of my new friend hahaha :))
good evening from my part and sorry for the late reply, I just started with the responses. Unfortunately, a strong migraine was on from Sunday evening ;( I got better now!
Good, you can be proud when all went that well 🤩
Good evening and good night 😴No worries, migraines are the worst… take it easy @mipiano 🤗😊
Good morning 🌄 :)))
Good morning @mipiano 👋🏻😊
We drove today out of Spain… very early… just 1 hour drive into Gibraltar.
Russell is of to work and I’m waiting in the lobby of our hotel to check in, in a couple of hours.
We stay until Saturday.
The rest of the week Russell has no work, luckily 😎
We get married in another country 😁
Good evening @littlebee4
I am checking in into my backlog hahaha, so yeah, just two days of delay...
Oh, so in Gibraltar? Wow, getting married there, it is probably a good choice!
And it is tomorrow, yay!
I’m up early again…. Stupid insomnia… everything is still quiet.Good morning @mipiano 😊
Yep, it was quite special to get married here on “The Rock” as locals call it. (Like John Lennon and Yoko Ono they married here too)
Lovely people around us too. It was such a great day.
We counted 80 beats and Ruth said it was jingle bells but I beg to Differ.
HAhhahha, Jingle Bells 🤣 maybe a bit eerie jingle bells ;D
Sending a big hug to Ruth for her super cool guess 🤗
I'm glad to hear that the bag worked out despite being heavy. Sounds like the wheels are a sure hit then.
I'm not sure what song you were playing in the video but my guess for the beats is 78? I know I can't win without naming the music but I figured I'd guess the beat count just for fun.
Wheels helped a lot!!
Thank you for not missing out on my guessing game and having some fun :))
And sorry it is not a fruit or veggie thing this time, there you would maybe already have the answer :D
Well, we will see what will be the answer for the beats, and music... thinking it better, maybe even I would not recognize it with this piano sound hahaha
I don't think this is right but the music sounds like the intro of Westworld, the TV series.
ow,ow,ow, getting closer to the thing... series... it is... not Westworld though ...
I can't imagine how heavy the voyager would have been, you are lucky that you could park close.
Also well, this week's game is a bit hard 😆 so I'll tap out.
Beats should be 7 though, song; I am clueless.
Luck was on my side this morning, that is for sure. Anyway, when I dont find such a great parking place, then I park anyway in the entrance and pack out the piano and then drive away to find a place to park. Hahaha, maybe someone else should play the piano then while I am searching for a parking lot 🤣
Music, try not to think that it is piano that you hear :D
Beats: I mean in total, not just those that can be heard in the beginning. Some counting should be done :D
First of all I must say that I lost this game almost before it started 😅, I don't know the song and I couldn't count the number of beats that the metronome marked, but at least I had fun trying and failing 😎. Maybe next time I will win and with additional honors included, I have that determination in my mind . Thanks for sharing your stories, they are always enjoyable.
Oh, that is a pity you don't know the music... How could I give some hints? It is not a song with lyrics... and it is not classical music either...
Metronome beats: It is just to count :) This is the easier part of the game :)
And as I said, if nobody gives the right answer, maybe the funniest answer will be rewarded :)
Thanks for reading my stories 😇
"Metronome beats: It is just to count :) This is the easier part of the game :)"
I'm not very good with the metronome but I asked for an opinion (I hope it's not considered cheating) and I was told there are 60 beats, if the answer is correct I will reveal who told me, I promise it will be interesting.
I see I will not know who told you, as it was not (just) 60 of the tick-tacks :)
Hm... indeed not this music
But thank you for bringing this link here, now I am listening to this piano music :)
And, a big thank you for taking part in this guessing game :)
!PIZZA😎
thank you @aurikan for the pizza :)
It was definitely playing with your emotions. I can’t even lie 😂 😂
Indeed, I am happy you don’t have to carry it on your shoulder. I currently deal with an on and off severe pain that affects my shoulder from carrying my laptop bag on that shoulder for years…
Oh well, I’m here for the vibes your post brings as usual and it didn’t disappoint ♥️
Hahaha, yes, it was playing with me and my emotions.
Carrying the laptop for years? Oh my, I hope the pain can be reduced! 🙏
💖 vibes have to be shared with those who know how to catch them 🤗
Yes, it comes and goes but I am free from its shackles for now 😅😅😅
WORD!!! 😂
that's good you dont feel pain now :) Hope it stays this way 😇
I hope so too 😊😊😊
:))
