I wanna Be Like You (Disney's Jungle Book)

Singing

Apparently sucking your gut (diaphram) in helps with hitting both low and high notes.  Also: Do not tense up in the head when you sing your high notes, you need to relax your muscles to best hit them. 

Personally I like to sing in what I call waver-tone (It sort of gives your vocal delivery an anxious feel) 
Personally again, I like to give my singing a sort of "gritty-ness"  Kinda like Bob Dylan meets underground metal.   That might sound funny but, if I got my idea across, hey no complaints.

SERPENT OF EDEN




Some men are mice, some men are kings.

Some wear patches, some wear rings.

Fish swim while birds fly.

And some who live deserve to die.



Serpent of Eden

Serpent of Eden



Well Adam and Eve really had it all.

Such a shame they had to fall.

You had them eat forbidden fruit.

Neither you nor them shall play God’s lute.



Serpent of Eden

Serpent of Eden



Some men are mice, some men are kings.

Some wear patches, some wear rings.

Fish swim while birds fly.

And some who live deserve to die.



Serpent of Eden and Enchantress eyes.

Serpent of Eden soon will die.

After that there’ll be no lies.

PAY IT FORWARD.  Life is mostly about helping people and being a real life hero & knowledge is power in achieving all our goals.

Now listen to this song:

dead road seven (A.D.D. entree)

I've started picking appart the maple leaf rag and I started to compose something... not sure how good my composition will be but just gotta experiment. 

I started shaving then stopped midway through because I felt like checking out the artwork done by Kurt Cobain.  Pretty cool stuff.

I might get to be on board with a band as vocalist and that would be tight, we'll just have to see...

Sort of tired it is almost 10:00.  I've gotten in the habit of jamming on bass before going to sleep.  I got a couple of books about outerspace that are pretty sweet.

Watched a couple of episodes of Scrubs yesterday.

St. Coud Library sucks for not letting me do a concert there earlier this year. 

Saw Rick, Bill, and Joel today at St. Cloud library. 

I installed some vintage style video games to the computer so that's fun. 

I've been researching this place called Camphill Soltane.  Looks pretty cool.

Ever heard of DTMF?  I hadn't.  So I looked it up, it stands for dual tone multi-frequency.  I used my music software: AUDACIDY to generate some sound bites with DTMF.  It is basically the same sounds your cell phone makes when you dial.  Each button sounds off a different combination of pitches from the speaker.  Anyhow another group that uses phone sounds is the kills.

 SEE!! they rock.

Anyhow the drummer quit in one of my bands. ehh.  what-ev'.  The kid seems to have a bright future ahead of him.

Yeah.  Pretty much.

Hey guys.  I did a concert yesterday.  It was pretty cool.  I had a lot of fun playing baritone to Cyphers mad rappin'.  I'm listenig to the Yardbirds "RAVE UP" album for the first time, it is cool.  I could probably really get into this stuff.  Had a great time with Tim Barnes at the quarry diving into the water and making jokes about Harry Potter.

Me and Tim are gunna be layin' out some tasty tunes, so be on the look out for a single by Mostly Harmless called DIRTY WATER. 

Spent some time playing a retro-games console this morning called  "Max X Play".  I'd recomend it to any one who likes NES-type games.  The "POWER GAMES" console is also pretty rad and features a game called B-wings that is quite and awesome flying-plane-shooter-game.  I'm not sure what happened with those.  Companies just aren't making that type of video game anymore and I think that's a shame. 

For people who like poppish shounding punk rock I recommend checking out THE DOWN TOWN FICTION. 

That's all I have to say about that.

Stunt Man

Intro:




It’s been such a close call; it’s been such a close call.

This shit is getting heavy; this shit is getting heavy.

Picaso is dead so who can get the art ready.



Though I tried to right my story; tried to sing my song.

I had not-got, any reader.

Nor no one to sing along.



But

Mental floss removes the plaque.

From a beaver’s bites in my right calf.

Study good but study lying.

Stuck in school: cheating, crying!!



Verse 1:

WHY!! IS MY LIFE!! FIIIIIGHT OR FLIIIIGHT

WHY ARE FRIENDS STEA-LING, WHY ARE PARENTS SPY-YING



Chorus: (punk rock)

Some day I’ll get away.

I’ll have a total change.

I’ll be a stunt man.

Tan from the sun ray.



Verse 2:

DON’T!! WANNA BE!! ANOTHER (uni-sylabic) WHORE!!

NO , NO!! you can’t draft me for oil war... The Master Stunt Man Is Now Here. You’ll see me in movies… every year.



Pre-chorus: panicy

Oh-wreroah! Richard can’t u see! Theres more more more (broadway meets metal) to bee-leev than money. HUEAGH!! Oh-wreroah Richard there’s more to retrieve. You say sonny-boy I see your aspiration. But before you get it all, you’ll push a broom, sweep a kitchen, can’t cross the nation, stuck at a sandwhich station!!!



Chorus:

Some day I’ll get away.

I’ll have a total change.

I’ll be a stunt man.

Tan from the sun ray.



Repeat chorus

Some day I’ll get away.

Ill have a total change.

I’ll be a stunt man.

Tan from the sun ray.



Verse:



Crooked cracks seethe through gnarly trees, You’r spell blown to me, subtly cuz you live in her debris.

Pennyless promotions are finding thee.

One fine day false idols will die.

Even though you blessed a mess to sell it.



Chorus:

Some day I’ll get away.

I’ll have a total change.

I’ll be a stunt man.

Tan from the sun ray.



Chorus:

Some day I’ll get away.

I’ll have a total change.

I’ll be a stunt man.

Tan from the sun ray.



Verse: Gotta few homies, one of ‘em is tim.

Starting to think I got to flake on him.

Nobody knows

How I got poked by that rose! (weirdo style)

The plant makes my problems decompose.



Chorus slightly altered:





(Slower this time)



I finally got away.

I got a total change.

I am a stunt man.

Yoda's Colosseum

Here's Some More Prep Music :)

Wow... I have nothing better to do than read this idiot's blog.

Wha sup homies.  Donald Neu here.  Hope you all found the title amusing. 

I had a session with Psychodelix and recorded some great stuff for the song "Moral Mutilation" a song which will be on the COSMIC CRYSTAL EP.  When we release that you should buy one.  Heck you should buy twenty. 

Pretty much.  I'm thinking I should sneek some Beck guitar licks into the Psychodelix performance (August 12 @ Paynesville Gazebo Park 7:00)

My solo project "Stunt Man" has kinda just sat on the back burner... which sucks.  I've been chasing this specific style that I want to get in a recording and I havent had the time and energy to attain it.  However I've made progress and I'm being supported in my "magical mystery tour"

My friend Mark AKA Moxxie has started listening to a band called Hard Core Super Star and I think I'll have to check them out too.  They seem pretty sweet.

This song played on the radio at work and I thought it was pretty cool.  Probably old news to most happenin' youth but whatev'  I think it's fun music.

I  

modified tri-tone

The tri tone (known in the dark ages as the devils interval) is a fun thing to use in music. 

normal tri tone C, F#, high C

I like this varriation & I just came up with it.  Just take the top note down a half step.

C, F#, B.

I am a very "feeler type" musician.  I get a lot of my ideas from patterns go through my head and the feel of my hands playing the instrument.  It applies to every instrument I play.  On the all the instruments I play I try to shake things up / make alterations that make the playing more interesting for me and also affect the audience differently.

I also like to do these "mixed intervals".  There is probably a better name for them.  Note 1a may move up one half step from note 2a, and in the same chord progression note 1b may move up three half steps.  I don't know if that explaination works at all.  In another way of looking at it: C major to D sus2.  The interval between the root notes of the chords is different that the interval between the high notes of the chords.

the tab explaination is probably the simplest:

e 0  5
b 3  5
g
d
a
e  

Oh, and any Hot Hot Heat album is worth your time to listen to, especially if you play guitar.  If you play synth you should listen to the Hot Hot Heat album "Scenes One Through Thirteen"  and listen to any Wolf Parade Album.

Let the bass drum boom like and underground justice, music from our dendrite trussice!!!

My keyboard set up is as follows: Casio Privia: a weighted key keyboard with excellent piano imitation and multiple tones and effects/possible alterations.  Yamaha Portasound (mini keyboard) PSS-130; incredible battery life and easy to take anywhere.  Yamaha PSR-77 synthesizer.  This one is very light, which is nice; it also features some rad old-school sounding voices.  Hohner student 32 melodica.  Light; sounds like a cross between an accordian, harmoica, and bag pipe.  You blow into this one, its like a breath powered organ! (so no worrying about batteries folks!)  Shoenhut toy piano.  Sounds like "a couple steps up from "little tikes" xylophone. 

I'm gunna learn this song by Jove!

When I was younger:

When I was younger I used to be great at building inventive lego ships and other inventions.  I also used my creativity and common sense analytical inventiveness to build a catapult that could shoot bouncy balls into a special basket as well as build kinex cars to crash-duel my best friend, showing who could build the toughest car.

Fried My Little Brains (The Kills)

Guitar

Make sure you use your pinkie for fretting too.  It can be easy to avoid playing with it because it's generally a weaker finger.  Just pay attention to your playing, and try to use it more often.  If you do this the finger will become more strong and your hand will become more coordinated.     

Some chord forms require the thumb for fretting too.
Alternate picking is another thing.  If you're playing fast, doing warm ups, doing scales, what-ever,  ALTERNATE PICKING BABY!

Musical Terminology

These are a few of the terms from the glossary of a college textbook called MUSIC IN THEORY AND PRACTICE.

Agogic accent: An accent created when one note is longer than surrounding notes.

Blue tone: Blue tones (or "worried" notes) are tones that are between the diatonic and flatted thirds and sevenths, which characterize the blues scale.

Blues scale: A major scale with a flat third and seventh.  **It must be remembered that when the flat third and seventh were sometimes "worried" notes, thus their pitches did not always correspond to equal tempered tuning.  {{**significant to singer's, guitarist, trombone players, and anyone who can play "the notes in-between the notes"}}

Blues scale with added flat fifth: A classic blues scale (flat third and seventh), but with an additional flat fifth.  This is a somewhat later development in blues.  Flat ninths are also included on occasion.

Chordal texture: A texture in which the musical material is concentrated into chords with relatively little melodic activity.

Diatonic: Any of the common scales made of whole steps and half steps in a particular pattern.  The white keys on a keyboard instrument form a diatonic scale.

Dynamic accent: An accent created when one note is louder than surrounding notes.  Often indicated with the accent sign.

**Elison: A musical situation in which the end of one pattern overlaps of coincides with the beggining of the next pattern

Harmonic rhythm:  the rate of chord change

Interval: the relationship between two tones.

Nonharmonic tone: A tone that does not fit into the surrounding harmony.

Parallel supporting melody: A melodic idea that moves essentially in parallel with either a primary or secondary melody.

Polyphonic texture: A musical texture consisting of more than one melodic line.

Scale: A summary of the pitch material of a piece of music in order from the lowest toe the highest pitches

Sequence-modulationg: A sequence that leads from one tonal center to the next.  In some sequences of this type each segment is technically in a different key.

Sonority: A group of pitches sounding at the same time.  A simultaneity.

**Swing: The rhythmic style of most jazz, in which the division of the beats is uneven and there is considerable stress on the notes between beats.

Tactus:  the name given to the pulse in medieval and Renaissance music.  The tactus was said to be equal to the heart rate of a person breathing normally.

Tessitura: The average range of a particualar voice or instrument in a composition.  If a tessitura is "high," the notes tend to be in the higher extreme of the total range of that voice or instrument.

Three-part form: A form of music with three parts.  The first and third parts are either the same of nearly so.

**Turnaround (turnback): A term used in popular song to denote four-chord formulas that signal the repetition of a period or return to a previous period.  Example: C B Dm G

Noob Keyboarder

If you are a newbie to the piano or synthesizer there's a little trick you shoud know.  It's a way to sound good almost no matter what! 

This trick assumes that you are writing your own music or just winging it on stage with improv.  When you devise your melodies,  if you playing only white keys you will almost always sound good, and find the notes your looking for or notes that are close.  It sounds good 99% of the time because you are playing everything on the same scale C-Ionian or D-Phrygian or what-ever you decide the root note and mode is. 

Playing only black keys works just as well, and limits you even more.  So... kind of a good thing kind of a bad thing.  Playing only black keys creates a major scale where some of the notes are missing.... they've gone to the lost and found....  Basically your working with this
F# (whole step) G# (whole step) A#(minor third, whole step plus one half step, a sinister sounding interval) C#(whole step) D#

The black key way should leave even less room for error because there are no notes that are half-a-step apart (if you play 2 notes that are a half step apart at the same time, it can screw up the melody.... sometimes)  

Yeah really, though...  I love all styles and meathods of piano playing...  Go wild and do whatever you feel.  But take a look at this way too cuz it makes sense and it works.

Also... The oldest classical music only had the white keys.  The black keys were added later to make it possible to play any scale mode from any root note on the keyboard. 

knob flipping

This effect is partifcularly cool on old electric organs.  But you can get simmilar cool effects on melodicas, and conventional synthesizers.  Toggle the volume knob up and down.  With the organ there are multiple volume knobs for all the synthesized instruments.  Many instruments can be toggled at once, and when yo do this you get a natural tremolo ( and sometimes a "dee-dee-dee-dee!").

Another cool thing for keyboarbers, is doing an instrument or "voice" change in the middle of the melody.  It's unexplected and can put a totally different flavor on the sound.

If you're looking to record your stuff check out the free music software online called audacity.  It will help you in your magical mystery tour.

I'm pretty tired.  I've been getting up for work at 2:00 in the morning this week.  Yeah, brutal.  Anyhow they play the song "Dream On" on the radio there a lot so that sparked my interest in the song.  I've got a classical music CD in with songs by Edvard Grieg.  I've olnly heard the first track but it's pretty cool stuff.  I whent swimming at the pool at my appartment today too, so that was refreshing.  I'll get some new songs on the web...  eventually.
