Live Well / 好好地過 Rubberband Cover

Rubberband 好好地過

Over the past two days, I thoroughly enjoyed time in a sound booth taking the Apogee One for a spin. These songs are the products of my equipment upgrade, and my first trial of using the Apogee as an interface, with an AKG C1000s condenser microphone plugged in. I am still exploring all that Apple's GarageBand can offer as a DAW. So, without further ado, I present a double bill of covers. Allow me to indulge in some band music.

1. 也許我不會活多一歲 (Won't Live Forever)
Life is short. Live it. Expect it to be imperfect.

2. 2084 (Love that endured 100 years)
A love story from the 80s, that spans a century.

也許我 不會活多一歲 + 2084

You & Me
This took two recording sessions in the sound booth, and an hour of extra recording for the backing vocal. I tweaked the instrument track to bring out the instrumental solo sections.  I think this is the most successful of all my recordings, mixing and mastering so far.

哪裡只得我共你

REWORKS
Here is a collection of some of my favourite Cantopop pieces that I have reworked, to do them justice:
(1) Tourbillon 陀飛輪: A complete studio rework
(2) From Now On 今天開始: A remix of ad lib / chorus
(3) Voice Navigation 聲音導航: A remix and addition of 3-part chorus

愛は勝つ / 壯志驕陽

Liede #1 of Song Cycle Die schöne Müllerin (Schubert, Franz)

To wander is the miller’s delight;
to wander!
A poor miller he must be
who never thought of wandering,
of wandering.

We have learnt it from the water,
from the water!
It never rests, by day or night,
but is always intent on wandering,
the water.

We can see it in the wheels too,
the wheels!
They never care to stand still
but turn tirelessly the whole day long,
the wheels.

The stones themselves, heavy as they are,
the stones!
They join in the merry dance and seek to move still faster,
the stones.

O wandering, my delight,
O wandering!
Master and mistress,
let me go my way in peace,
and wander.
