'I am much inclined to live from my rucksack, and let my trousers fray as they like.'
Hermann Hesse

wow. this. picture. is. perfection.

Open Mic on wednesday at Mr. Wolfs. It was pure fun. Two mates were performing and I did the Backing Vocals. Loved it. I danced and danced and danced and met another guy who danced just as crazy as me, what a laugh. It's amusing every time people stop me and telling me they just fell in love with my Pink Floyd chucks. Well I must say they are really wicked hehe.
Otherwise I miss my mate Marc indescribable. Today is the day he died. It hurts. It's been a year which is incomprehensible for me. Here's a song for him.

SCATTING

lots of consonants, use of whole range, fast speed, listening to the chords of music and improvising melody on top, using lips and tongue, very articulated

Ha, we did this today in Styles and Techniques. I've never done this before but to my own surprise, I had no problems to do it, I actually really enjoyed it and Oh my god, it was hilarious. At some point always two people had to battle against each other in an argumentative way or trying to sell something on the market and this all in scatting. We were laughing our asses off.    

That's probably the best example to get an idea of scat singing

'What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful'
Scott Westerfeld

Artist Development at 9 in the morning. I don't know, that's harsh. Way to early to sing! just not a good time for my voice, even when I get up 2 hour earlier to warm it up. Hmmm. Nevermind, we (Off the Cuff) performed our song today,yay. Fun, positive feedback, noice. Had to come up first with a hook and subsequently with an entire song. Not too bad, not too bad. I actually pretty much like it, yeah.

My school is still fantastic, I'm really having fun. Music Music Music. What more could one want?! Ah I love it even though I'm busy as fuck but hey no sweet without sweat right. 
Today happened something awesome, it put a big fat smile on my face. I went to Tesco ( supermarket) and wanted to buy something to eat with my last pennies I own. I went to the self-service machine and it wouldn't scan my food. Makes me think maybe it's just me making them not working haha. Anyway I called a woman and she pressed loads of buttons, asked me if that's all I want, put it in a bag and said go, it's alright. For a second I wasn't moving but then realised she just gave me it for free and walked off!!!!!!!!  In those situations there is no time for stupid questions, you just have to accept it and I did for sure haha. Although I still don't know why I had not to pay for it, I definitely love this Tesco woman! Thanks :)

You are your dreams



My weekend was pretty much perfect. Bestest company, mega sunny and warm day, yummy breakfast, lovely Bristol walkabout, cave discovering, cliff sliding, suspension bridge, beautiful views, snoozing on grass in the sun, playground, ice-cream, free and stunning City Museum and Art Gallery visit, hot-air balloons on the horizon and amazing gig by Dans le Sac vs Sroobius Pip in the evening to top the day. Wow. I've fully enjoyed it. More of it please.      


and this song was playing in the cartoon shop as we had a look at all those super heros

Damn yeah!


Oh my god, I can't believe how I neglected my blog. I need to organise, everything. I need a structure. Too much chaos. Haven't managed to create a working system yet in those busy days.

Focus

Even though it's going nicely, it could go much better.

Uni is ace, lessons, teachers, classmates. I enjoy it loads. Many songs to learn during the week, it keeps you busy. Been to Laser Quest on Monday due to Chris Birthday, big fun! On Tuesday I had to perform twice at LPW which turned out to be a complete success! I didn't only get positive feedback from my 3 tutors but from my fellow students as well. Wow. I'd  have never expected nor experienced something like this. People who know the music business in and out, who know what they're talking about, being enthusiastic about my performance. I got one P, one M and for the large rest only D's which is the highest mark ever. Overwhelming, especially when Kieron Pepper is giving you the marks. It makes it kinda more high-grade personally. I think it's fair enough to say , regarding my uphill struggle and stony way  to get to this point of my life, I'm proud of myself. It's really paying off now. I appreciate it so much. I'm living the dream seriously.
