Hide and Seek a cappella

A cover of Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek, done a cappella. Yes, my voice does go that low for the bass notes.

Much thanks to Tara Tan as well for shooting the video. It was done in a couple of takes on Saturday afternoon.

Also, this finally concludes my 30 Days of Creativity project that was started in June (hence taking me nearly 60 days to complete). Hurray!

Day 28: House by a hill

Tonight was pretty funny, due mostly to my messing up my calendar and Dave just taking my word for the scheduled changes. I had booked a jamming studio for tonight, but only two of us showed up, because the agreed session with the rest of the band was next week.

Still, we ended up having a pretty good time jamming to our iPads: first whatever music I put on shuffle, then a beat machine app, then a tenori-on.

Eventually though, we decided to set an iPhone in the room to record whatever impromptu jam I threw out. This is a song I wrote fairly recently, and Dave hadn't heard it before. That fact isn't evident in the recording. :)

I also decided, rather conveniently, to use this as Day 28. Why not.

I haven't given up on the last leg of my 30 Days of Creativity, even though I took a break of over a week. Still, let's try to finish this, so here's Day 27.

It's one round of the verse and a very truncated chorus of At the Beginning by Donna Lewis and Richard Marx. It came to mind because the chorus goes, "Life is a road..." Oh yeah,  you didn't think I'd take a crack at a creative project without a pun in there, did you.

It was fun to make, but the syncopated lyrics really threw me off.
