My Album concept, 3rd song [Meditation]

Em...... I think more than 80% when people listen to this song, I am sure they will say "Wow! you feel sad?" or maybe "Your relationship broke up already?"...... Because this song have been commently using in most of the sad scene movie....

Althougt people feel that this song is represent sad, but I feel it is not really represent sad..... but is only personal feeling. When I listen to this song I feel it is Romance, rather than upset. I use back the orchestra version of it. From the day I play harmonica until now, I still hope that someday in the future, I can play with an orchestra lively...... I know, maybe this is not going to happen to me, but I still hoping that it will happen in the future.......

When I go for classical concert, actually I really admire those who stand on the stage and perform together with the whole orchestra group..... Everytime I watch the performance, I will have this feeling. There are a lot of great orchestra work with harmonica, but not much people know about it.......

I feel that is it Romance is because the arrangement of this song. I love harp, it make me feel warm and touch, like a song sung by Britney Spears, "Everytime" the intro is so touching......

Now let me introduce my producer and sound engineer Mr Kevin Liew and his girl friend.

Feel free to post comment after you have listen to this song..... What is your feeling when you listen to this song. Is it sad? romance? or anything.... Thank you...

My Album Concept, 2nd song [Carmen FanDyssey]

I wish most of you have listen to my 1st song Cotton Eyed Joe, all of you are welcome to leave your comment. Thank you very much....

The second song that I am going to introduce to all of you is composed by George Bizet, Carmen. Why I put the title as Carmen FanDyssey? is because of the style of the song and is more than 3 combination of different Carmen theme and also music style.....

The intro of this song, I am using Hip hop beat to create an mistery feeling, and while you listen to the intro you wouldn't know is Carmen. I love that beat very much when I am doing the music arrangement on this song. Because that Hip Hop beat it give me bouncing feel no matter when I listen to it or playing live show performance. Beside that, when I repeat the theme again, I do improvisation on the 2nd and 3rd repeat...

The second part, from Hipp Hop beat, I switch to Latin style. it will makes you move and feel dancing.Because it feel like a celebration party, very happy and relaxing music style. I also have add in some support melody to make it more colors on the background music.....

After that, from latin I switch to classical style. I am using pizzicato, piano, string, and brass as a main instrument to create a classic feel on this part. Is a very straight forward waltz style.

The last part, from Classical style I change it to Techno Dance music style. It feel like more energy and powerfull. The whole song I make it feel like Fusion song, because it contain more than 2 music style in the song, and you will feel like from the intro is 2000 years and above, then switch to 1980's, and then back to 1800 century and finally come back to 2000 millennium century.

I have cut out 1 mins and 40 second to let all of you listen the concept and music that I have mention above..... Wish all of you love it....
