Miscalculations!

Oh me gosh. A fatal calculation error in my previous post. Thanks to snowparang who was the first to alert me about it! Hahah =)

In the case of a full-house,
8000 - 1800 = 6200

If half-full,
4000 - 1800 = 2200

Hmm... the sky clears for more possibilities!!!

好冷的音符

有时候真的是很无奈.

"怎么会有这么冷感的人?"

六弦琴是一种温柔中带有热情的乐器.
握在一个面色呆滞, 眼神迷糊的人的手中, 真的是相当抵触的.

给了几个月的谱, 好象都没怎么用心去看过.

难道感觉不到大伙都有在努力, 而没被感染? 不希望与大家前进, 看齐?

真奇怪.

Timbales

A Cuban percussion instrument consisting of a pair of single head, shallow drums tuned to different pitches, and performed with two sticks. These drums are essential to Latin American popular music.

Rest for my eyes

How I wish I could magically conjure the ensemble scores I want, or buy them over the internet for that matter, or from somewhere, someone!

My eyes are dropping out of their sockets, partly from gaming on Dirge of Cerberus, the typical run and shoot game, which I usually don't favour; I get a headache out of it. BUT, since it's the next installation after FFVII, well.... I suppose I could bear with the screen spinning.

And straight after that, I'm working on the computer, staring at notes, drawing slurs, transposing etc...

I was quite set on going for the Niibori ensemble playing workshop, but somehow, I started to have the idea that the presenter is going talk about stuff which Manji or Koyama has already mentioned, breathing method, counting, Niibori Rhythm method, blah blah... and I'm not so keen to dump money to Tony Romas. Oh well, we'll see then...

Feel like doing a lot of stuff but time sorta just slips by...
I'm keen to take up dance courses! But I haven't even started looking yet...
I've been telling myself to do exercises! But I haven't conjured enough motivation yet... I think Shuhann exercises more regularly than I do... or I should just go buy a few dumbbells and just workout at home...

and YES... I have FFXII !!!! Lotsa sleepless nights gonna follow...

Xenosaga is one good RPG out there. Trilogy and good story, a little bit like Evangelion(if it's spelled correctly...)

Singapore Conference Hall

Or "SCO Concert Hall" it seems.

Sits about 800 but rental rates are going at about 1800 or 18% of ticket sales.

If each ticket is priced at $10, that's $8000 for FULL House, overhead of $1000, split amongst 20 members = $50

If each ticket is priced at $15, that's $12000 for FULL house, overhead of $600, split amongst 20 members = $30

Concerts are hard to plan...

I need a sponsor!

钢琴五人组

I watched a piano recital with Michelle on Friday evening. It was a 5-piano ensemble recital, and I was rather impressed with the stage set-up. Repertoire was fine, a wide selection of genres; they only missed the classical period.

Every pianist had their page turners, that means 10 people on stage. Wonder how much the page turners get for doing stuff like this?

I'm never a avid fan of piano, not that the instrument doesn't impress or sound nice, but I'm perturbed or easily bored by the monotony of the tone. Fact is, I find the instrument's tone so homogenous over the registers that it numbs my ear rather quickly. Well anyway, after 1.5 hours of 5-piano sound, I was so pleasantly delighted when they ended one of their pieces/encore with 1 piano. And I'm starting to think solo piano sounds nice. Hahaha... or could be just a temporary figment of my imagination.
