[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.

My 21st Christmas [ALBUM]


Download



For the past 3 or 4 years, I’ve been contemplating recording a Christmas album…and each year I either lost my steam or became too busy with school work. Therefore its ironic that I am able to put this out here in spite of all the projects that are due. Nonetheless, this is my gift to you all: my feeble attempt at compiling a few songs that hopefully captures the Christmas spirit. Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, I really hope you will try to enjoy the music.
