"OMG sch gate all close alr HOW! the uncle locked us in T_T"
"Haiz.. uncle missing. sch gate all locked. how are we going to spend the night lo.."
lol. ok nvm damn random. anyway. just some comments about audition. Generally i hear myself keep saying this.
"Its not about the notes, its not even about the dynamics. Its about, coordination between the 3 guitars. There must be this this distinction of each parts, a feel of layering. Its just very xin ku to hear *looks at denyse/eileen/yingzhi* 3 ppl talking at once. (MIs start talking together). SEE? very irritating rite. i mean first guitar shd be lyk louder blahblahblahblah etcetcetc."
familiar? smthing like that. ahh since i've got no sch tml. i might as well be nice and come up with the commonly said things today. yes. thats 1. some grps all 3 guitars are just like. blasting at full volume. some are just daoing the rest. some are. i dno. pawning the rest. try to work among ur own group and of cos later on the ensemble to create music together. and not as ur individual parts. ya.
"Guitar 1 the slurs HOR. KEEP NV JOIN TOGETHER 1! haiz."
guitar 1. the slur parts. please play like this: here
and not like this: here
or even worse this: here
join,join and JOIN. yes. join.and you all all super scared of slurs. somehow at slurs that part you'll either:
1) rush / suddenly slow down (good)
2) fluctuaate the speed (not that bad)
3) distorte the whole rhythm there (bad)
4) STONE (pawnage)
please try your best not to do that? slurs don't bite generally?
"Just to let you all know k.. but no need change. The whole chorus can actually be played here. No need run all over the place de. but nvm la. DON'T NEED TO CHANGE k!"
Another familiar line i'm sure. Ya. for Shi Jie guitar 1. chorus that part can actually all be played at 1 position. but just fyi la.. as in thats just 1 beauty of guitar. u can play the same not at all diff positions and you're supp to explore the best position to play it. so running all over the place is like. bad. but its alrite. don't bother changing, no time le.
"your footstool hor. blahblahblahblah. Try sitting halfway out of your sit, den can sit straight. look smart not slack"
another v. familiar line. yesyes. posture. its not that we've got nothing better to do but to grill you guys over such tiny details. but on the stage, you just don't wan everyone having the wrong posture, our guitars will look like this:
-//-/-/-/<>.<\\-o-o\\==+++
if you get wht i mean. we need to standardize how every1 looks.
"last part need to slow down.. ya 3rd guitar must play louder.. first guitar and 2nd guitar softer..OYA did u all play the repeat ah? got ah. o. it was so loud i tot u guys nv.. sorrysorry!"
morenita last part.. ya. most ppl didnt slow down and do all the things that are required of them.
"wow i very happy! you're one of the few groups that got pause before the modulation 1. wow!"
"haiz. i very sad. you're one of the few groups that didnt pause before the modulation... haiz"
erm. ok. those 2 lines are used interchangably do i dno which 1 to put. but yes. for Shi Jie again. before modulation (change to the high mood de) please rmb to pause awhile. ya.
yupp. thats about all the common things i can rmb that kept repeating itself over and over today. anyway..
congrats to those who've passed the first audition. you guys have put in hard work and we can see it. but do still practise hard cos. Not all of you passed well. There are some of you who are like at the tipping point which resulted in a mini debate among the MIs. so do still practise k. (even for those who are like. amazingly quite good alr). yupp.
BUT super imptly. don't feel sad if you've failed auditions. 2nd audition is coming up and uh. just jiayou for it cos alot of you are like. borderline fail. its not like we are sadistic and enjoy failing people. but if we were to pass you we'll just be lying to ourselves. cos. there are parts that need to be worked on and we just want to hear one more time how it sounds like after you've worked on it. and we've told u all ur problems individually alr by now so. ya do work on them.
oh. and sorry the auditions took so long. we kinda dragged cos it didnt only end up as a audition we told u guys ur prob on the spot too. Thats why it took muchmuch longer than expected. sorrysorry. esp to the last few grps. so sorry.
So first audition is over! happy. o try to cheer up and don't feel so stressed? cos some of you can play 1 lo. its just you're just SO stress until we've to come and see you again on mon again. and make you even more stress. wht an irony lo. just play well and get it over and done with ba x)
For the auditions, its very encouraging to see some people reallyreally putting in effort to learn the piece. they're incredible. even more so to those few who have just joined us but yet can already play the piece. we were delighted la. continue jiayou-ing k!
but at the same time. there are also a few who just cant really be bothered with auditions. can tell de lo. its just diff levels of cant be botheredness. from being complacent and not learning the piece well etc. To faking by attempting to move some fingers to blend into the crowd. This kinda things doesn't work at all the lo. the MIs are not ben de can. and furthermore, believe it or not. we don't look at you. your mistake transmit to our ears faster than it does to our eyes. thats why sometimes we might seem like we aren't bothered with sitting down and listening but trust me. we can still detect any and every mistake. forget about smoking through auditions. it definitely doesnt work.
wow. super long post. and i wan go slp le. lol. k shall go record the guitar 1 that slur part now.. yup jiayou ppl! most of u SHD if nth goes wrong get pass audition successfully. trust me, it hurts us just as much, if not even more to fail people. we don't like it x) eww.
last but not least. please msg yours MIs your choice for club tee and the size that you want. the designs are on the club board. choose 1 or 2. 1 is the green colour theme guitar thingo. 2 is the boy/girl 1. yupp. and if any1 of you designed and haven't show us your design, just uh. call me or the MIs immediately. i think call me la. quite free tml. ya. okay! i shall go slp. nights.
