Music is hard and also I have a job. So last week I was trying to invent the base of a song and as I was absentmindedly bouncing a tennis ball on the ground outside, I began to hum. I liked what I was humming so I quickly grabbed my phone and recorded what I had just hummed. I liked my humming a lot and I decided to use it as the music for my video. I planned on adding more instruments to it when I got the chance. Then I got a job as a nanny and now I don't have a lot of time to spend on my video. Luckily I get weekends off so I can work on the last bits of my videos then. This should be the part of the project that takes the least time. This is just the finishing touches phase, right?
     Yesterday and today I tried to work with the recording I have. I have tried several instruments but it is much more difficult than I thought it would be. My piano's pitch doesn't match the pitch of my recording. I am too inexperienced with the mandolin and the chords I've been trying to use sound terrible. The only thing that has sort of been working is my old clarinet from grade school. I'm glad that I thought of it. I think after I do more recordings of the clarinet I am going to try using the piano again. I have a better grip of the original recording so maybe this time I will be able to figure out effectively use the piano. Wish me luck! I hope I'll be done with this video soon!
