Second last session

ByVanessa Tan

Monday was the second last practice session before our school concert. We, the Moon Jumpers, are getting our act together!
I’ve got 8 tickets booked and have just invited two other Uni mates whose deep knowledge of music heavily influenced my songwriting style. I owe quite a bit to them. Hope they can make it.
We have one last practice session on Friday, and a rehearsal on Saturday itself. We should be done in about 11-12 minutes, if nothing goes wrong with the equipment!
My favourite sounds are what I’ll be playing – piano and Rhodes. Well, to be precise it’s a Roland keyboard that sounds like a Rhodes. I’ve never played on a real Fender Rhodes before but would love to, one day.
And I quite like my band. Rapport is strong. We just have to look at each other to know when to stop improvising and end the song.
Getting excited, but have to sleep now…

  • Three demos

    ByVanessa Tan

    This is to officially announce that I am working the re-production of three demo songs. (Announcing things like this will hopefully put me under greater pressure to keep to my schedule). A few of you might remember two of these tracks. It’s been years and my style has changed drastically, but do the math: typically…

  • Sound of silence

    ByVanessa Tan

    I’ve been busy, and therefore silent. I have one Women’s Business Connection article to rewrite (procrastinating) on a specialist trade I know nothing about, a church website to restructure, and a medical association anthem to produce (check) and record to CD (help!!). All at no charge, since family members and the Holy Father are involved….

    I tried to poop the party but my Las Vegas hotel’s internet connection got cut off JUST as I was about to hit the submit button and announce to the whole world who won American Idol 😉 Ah, the benefits of being in the same time zone… Oh well. Now I’m home and rested, let…
