Vox 4 SCOTT ROCKENFIELD
I’ve just finished another hour of vocals for a CD i’m doing together with Scott Rockenfield legendary drummer - yo! feels very good to be sending them off!
Yeh! Finished my track 4 Berlin Lullabies!
Was the first lullaby i’ve ever tackled.. but I had a lot of fun and it’s a lovely pretty track called ‘take me far away’… if anyone has a baby to soothe.. let me know! juliaxx
Berlin Lullabies..
So today is all about the Lullaby - get into it! Am writing/recording one for the crew in Berlin.. It’s turning out rather nicely - although my voice is still too deep and husky - some may call that sexy - but I don’t think it’s what the KIDS WANT.. I mean.. er.. BABIES!!
No seriously.. I’m going to have some fun with this..;-) Sweet dreams y’all… julia x
Musical Modes in the Studios..
Recording recording vocals! So my studio is feeling good today - no earthing problems! Am singing for a CD together with Scott Rockenfield - great drummer from Queensryche…. Raining on my tinroof.. followed by a lovely spring sun…. and I’m settling in to get quite a bit done tonight!
So I’m wondering if anyone out there can let me know what the most popular modes are in film compositions? Or if anyone has an opinion on this? And please don’t say Ionian or Aeolian! ..(major, minor)..
Ionian Mode
Dorian mode
Phrygian mode
Lydian mode
Mixolydian mode
Aeolian mode
Lochrian mode

WHERE WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO VISIT ON YOUR PLANET?
at the moment.. right now.. the big trees in seattle..
Any great work of art… revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world - the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air.
