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!
I've been really fortunate to get this video of my original song re-recorded. Now nobody has to sit through a 4 minute video of a car ride and my yellow shoes traipsing about.
(New video posted Jan 12, don't think anybody will be missing the last video of a long car ride and my yellow shoes.)
Decided to take a break from the recent spate of composite video cover songs I've been making to record an original.
Here's a cover of Love Lost, by The Temper Trap.
I made this song a couple of weeks ago, but I just managed to stitch the video together. I was dragging my feet to do the editing because it wasn't as easy as I had thought, but I accidentally discovered a few very-obvious features of Final Cut yesterday that made me kick myself. Now that I'm slightly less incapacitated for the editing process, hopefully the next video won't take me as long to do.
Here's my first attempt at messing about with Garage Band and a humbling try at stitching the composite video in Final Cut Express.
I picked this song on a whim because it was stuck in my head all day that day. Guitar was piped through a Lexicon Alpha USB interface, while my voice was recorded with the less-than-optimal laptop mic on my MacBook Pro. I promise I will get off my ass and get a proper XLR cable for my handheld mic so I can put it through the USB interface for subsequent recordings (instead of singing into my laptop, which also explains why I look a little fish-eye-lensed in the video).
I took some shortcuts in the song. Be kind! I'll take song requests. :)
