The following is a recording diary of August 2007 #001.

Those images are the piano roll window of "song 2006-02" on the 10th of August.

I played the Virtual Piano module synthogy "Ivory". It sounded so real, however the sample files are too large size (40.5G) practically. I performed some piano songs on "cattiveria limited records". The way I see it, recording work might be making the sort of sample. If you play the best on your stage or performance, you could take those samples as a model. But this is the way it work, that's all. The most important thing is what you really want to make and express.

I have no idea how to other people make tracks. In my case, I start to make a basic design first, I look carefully at each detail including timing, velocity, rhythm, space, notes, sounds and so on, as though "somebody is playing there", over and over. I continued until I finish the song completely. "God is in the details". Besides, you don't have to book expensive studios or concert hall. It would be to figure "perfect combination" means "own original" out.

But there are a lot of combinations which someone made or exists in natural law in this world. How can we find out? Only do it and consider it over and over like a drill. Finally we can realize the answer like seeing the light. Sometime we can realize what direction we are going on this journey. It might be the way we can communicate to unknown people through our art work.

Mr tagawa one of my friends helped my voice recording on 11th of August.

We recorded the demo tracks of "song 2007-05". This song was based as a kind of "lounge music". But it has changing to "funk and alternative rock style" keeping arrangement. Usually I did my voice recording work by myself. But I think if someone helped, it would be easier than done alone. I was able to think more without any outside influence and bring singing into focus.

He is singer songwriter, too, and we worked on some commercial tracks together on September.
