Who Is Kead Lam?

This past weekend, Kev had a mini-retreat up at my place again and we hammered off 5 recordings. This is our first effort toward an EP (dubbed kl001), and is available in its entirety for your enjoyment, critique and perusal. Who Is Kead Lam? Find out at the kead lam micro-site.

[COVER] The Ponytail Parades (rough)

The second rough keyboard and vocals recording of the night is a cover of one of my favourite songs evar. Its “The Ponytail Parades” by Emery (acoustic piano version from The Question Deluxe Edition). And yes, I *did* use this song for my Silent Film collection of Gogo.

My bastardization in usual Adwin Lam-bastardization mode included:

  • running out of air
  • singing off key
  • playing the wrong notes
  • being boring by playing slower…
  • spacey recording due to horrible mic positioning

With all this said, enjoy! I really look forward to making a MUCH improved version of this. Justice must be done for Emery.

[COVER] Boston (rough)

Well, here we are. The first keyboard and vocals recording ever. I can’t read sheet music, so I learned this by ear and some chords. A really horrid “first try”, which is why I appropriately named it “rough”; just about everything that can go wrong does:

  • spacey recording due to bad mic positioning
  • running out of air and going off key
  • playing the wrong chords and notes as only a newbie keyboard player would
  • telephone going off (actually, it came in at a GOOD moment and sounded…good?)

A better version is definitely in the works…but this was just something for laughs and cringing. I need some telescopic boom mic stands, as the current set-up is really inflexible for mic positioning capturing the best sounds.

This song is called “Boston” by Augustana. This is my bastardized-Adwin Lam style recording. Enjoy!

By the way, don’t bother with anything else by Augustana…they’re pretty damn emo-pop and whiny.
