I recorded myself playing and singing the first verse of Radiohead's Pyramid song...

What do you guys think?

I like the reverby piano... heh.

the singing is technically very good, and in tune 9/10 of the time... And ti doesn't sound easy to sing, at all. god knows how you sing so high...

wow, nice singing, very nice singing... I didn't know knifeboy had such a cool voice :lol:

"Technically very good" I'm guessing you didn't like the sound of it? hehehe
I have a hard time not sounding that nasal when singing radiohead songs! You should've heard the first take, it could've cut through glas, I'm sure

Thanks for the comments :)

sharp **** eh?

I couldn't download it Knifeboy, it said the link was bad.

That's cool, that means 25 people listened to it!.. or maybe, someone disliked it so much he killed the link

Thanks man.

Nice work there!

I'm slowly teaching myself to sing.

Do you happen to know what time signature Pyramid Song is in? I remember someone asking a while back and no-one knowing.

Hehe, it's in 4/4 :)

Really? I remember their version of it sounding like it was in some awkward time signature. I guess it could all be in the feel.

If you can read sheet music, this will clear a few things up : [url]http://littlerowboat.net/piano/scores/ps/[/url]

And if not, [url]http://www.powertabs.net/pta.php?page=song,12040[/url] <- Here's an excellent powertab version..
It's a very awkward rythm, but as soon as you get it down, it seems completely logical

How proud I am to actually have been able to consult the first link this time :D! Music school is working :).

Thanks heaps, that makes so much sense. *Chorus of "Oohs" and "Ahhs" while reading.*

:lol:

I'm actually practising reading music to get into a music school, it's nice to be able to do something I find to be great fun, while actually doing something constructive! hehe

Definately, I'm about to complete the first semester of a one year course here. I love it, it is so much better than high school.

I'm enjoying it so much that once I am good enough, I want to go back to this same place and do the Bachelor of Music course.

Sweet stuff there Knifeboy. Nice vocals :thumb:.

Hey Trea (that's your name right?)

You're up early :). I haven't quite gotten around to sleeping yet.

Hey Matt :). Yeah, it's Trea.
Man, all nighter? Doing much or just stuffing around on the net etc.?
It was only 7.30 :p.

Music, MX, indexing my music collection on my computer, Seinfeld marathon on TV1, just the usual stuff :). I had a lie down for a while because I had a headache, but that's all better now. I'll probably try and stay awake throughout the day so I can go to bed at a reasonable hour tonight and then be in a normal-person-sleeping-pattern for exam week.

I also need to do some revision for my Theory and Music Technology exams, and just keep on with my ear training for the Aural exam.

What are you doing today?

Sounds good.
At the moment, I'm going down to a shop to get some timber. Then I'll just play guitar and do some Mx I spose. Oh yeah, and check out that fundamental ear training program or whatever it was :).
See ya later.

Timber hey, building a guitar? Possibly some kind of fort?

Either way, cya later.

:wave:

:p Nah, I'm helping a mate build a deck.

Oh yeah, I'm going to the city tonight for my b'day party too (who cares if my birthday was 3 weeks ago).

So you're mainly just revising/studying today?

A mixing deck????? Wow

Studying/sleeping/Seinfeld.

It's all good.

[QUOTE=airborne50caliber]A mixing deck????? Wow[/QUOTE]
:lol: I wish.
Nah, an it-goes-around-a-house-and-you-stand-on-it kind of deck.

Oh [i]those[/i] decks.

You guys wanna hear my Mogwai remix?

I made it last night.

[QUOTE=Trigger_003]:lol: I wish.

Oh that kinda deck...

Little help guys?

Time sig question.

Sorry for the confusion there guys.

Oh yeah, Matt,
With the Mogwai thing: Haven't heard the original, so I don't know what's changed, but the remix sounded pretty sweet anyway.

To your second set of questions (key sig. questions):
"A bar of 5/8 could be filled out by crotchet beat, and a dotted crotchet beat. Right?"
Yup.
"So would a bar of 5/4 correspondingly be filled out by the equivelant of a minim beat and dotted minim beat, keeping the same pattern?"
Pretty sure.

Hope you did well in your exam today/will do well in your upcoming ones man (and anyone else doing them).

Thanks :). That's my first ever remix attempt so I played it pretty safe not knowing what to do really. I plan to practice that kind of thing and have some fun with it during the break coming up.

I think I did pretty alright in my theory exam today :). Most of the real theory wasn't a hassle for me but I forget the verbal questions like "What are the 1st, 4th, and 5th chords of a scale referred to as?" The answer being primary chords. Stuff like that I forgot to study.

I also wasted my time learning that the process of dividing an octave into twelve equal notes is called Equal Temperament and was "invented" by J S Bach in 1650.

I will have to file that in my brain along with all the dates pertinent to Nazi Germany. Thankyou, HSC.
