My First Violin

Santa brought me my first violin this Christmas. I was completely surprised....Just kidding. ;)On the day it arrived I had to restring it because the G string slipped out of the fine tuner. On day 2 I broke the E string and needed to restring it. After rubbing rosin on the bow I was surprised it was still slippery. I soon found out that I needed to scratch that rosin cake. The first time I tuned it took about 20 minutes and I suspect it was half tuned. I was afraid to brake the E string…See More

I have been working on the same phrase for a few months. In my effort to deal with writer's block I have taken a fragment of my composition and mashed it up with techno phrases. Robo%20Dance%201.mp3

Recording my first maracas sample, after much frustration and anticipation

Posted on April 24, 2011 at 3:00pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Early this month for my birthday I received a lovely condenser microphone, an audiogram and a bouquet of wires XLR, speaker, adaptors, two Y's and a female coupler. Actually I ordered the microphone first, but ordered the XLR cable later because I am such a newbie this is my first condenser microphone and I didn't know what wire to purchase.
