Preparing a cool concert - Summerparty - Recording

Exams are over, but there's still a lot of things on my to-do list! One of them is a concert which will be next week on Wednesday at 7 PM at our school. It's the concert of the music-focus subject, which means there will for sure be a lot of great performances!

At the moment I am practising like wild for this event and in the meantime, I also had to record some jazz standards for my teacher so he could mark them.

Last weekend a good friend of mine had a birthday party which was really cool! We've played a lot of Viking Chess, an awesome game, had a barbeque and a great time enjoying our exam-freedom :D

Jamming and making music with my friends

This week was really cool! It was the last one of my summer holidays and I have enjoyed it a lot!
I have been making a lot of music in the last week for the new album. And we formed our own music group with which we want to play outdoors on the street sometimes :)
Another friend of mine got herself a hang-drum. It's a really cool instrument and we've tried it out yesterday which was so much fun!
I also skyped with a friend who is a musician and lives in New York. He often takes time to help me with recording things and explained to me the basics of synthesis music a couple months back.
Tomorrow I will start my next year in school and I am really looking forward to it, because now I get to choose which subjects I want to focus on and I've chosen music. So now I will have four hours more music lessons every week and choir and also a djembe lesson which I am so excited for!!

Amadeus Theatre & Workshop at Jazz geht Baden

This week in Baden there was a Jazz festival called "Jazz geht Baden" where I went with my friends on Friday. A lot of really cool musicians were playing there for example Noldi Alder. I am not so much into the traditional Swiss music but he just performed it so well on his violin, with his singing and his amazing accuracy on the dulcimer! In addition with his jokes I think that it was the best performance of the evening.
We also heard Amok Amor, a group that plays really free Jazz and gave us a workshop in Wettingen in the afternoon. They played really well and had amazing skills on their instruments! But for me the music was too chaotic; it was like everyone showing off all of their skills. And the music did not really have a groove or melody..

Yesterday we went with the whole class to theatre in Baden. At the moment we read Amadeus, which is a story about Salieris perspective on Mozart. The actors performed so well and the story is really sad. So I need to admit that I loved it to bits!
