More Updates!

OKIE! Hiya, Mr UDeep is back again!

Just returned from a Gig/Recording and Mixing Tests. Me, was a drummer again. Since no one else in my group knew how to play them (Pei Lin and Joyce can only play Keys, Shayne on the Guitar again, Jeremy on the Pipa, and Gin on the Vox). Had a long week. This week is all project based....WAH!!!!! Can die already! I am currently injured and recovering from sprained knee cramps. Reason why is strictly classified.

Music Theory was a piece of cake, GEMs luckily didn't have tests, Performance still have one more stage but that would be as easy as pie, I've still have one more test from MIDI and I have to catch up with all the assignments. And my BUMS I have loads to do.

Okay other things! I'm more or less back into MIDI transcription from video game OSTs again. I recently made quite a few Suikoden 2 and Tales of Eternia MIDIs in the beginning of the year. They are:

Softening Theme - Genso Suikoden II
A Song in Praise of Peace - Genso Suikoden II
Inferia - Tales of Eternia
Inferia Port - same

The most daring one was the Requiem of a Dream, a Song used in the Lord of the Rings Two Towers Trailer. I completed it in about 4 hours and I was quite pleased with that. My DMAT Classmates was so amazed to have crazy ears like mine as I totally transcribed EVERY single MIDI by ear.

Quite a Tale huh??? I'll leave it at this stage! Till next time!
