完美之旅 | the perfect journey : Juliet Pang 冯欣慧

完美之旅 (the perfect journey) reveals snapshots of her life, via the songs she has written, and of which 4 of the songs, fully-arranged. Evolving from her early days signed as a recording artiste to the storyteller she aspires to be, through stories of dear ones and also her own, that become every song that writes her, and with each song, she gains a new color, medium to her musical palette.


The different layers of harmonies, voicings in the compositions reveal stubborn intricacies of her thoughts. And the delicate but luring pulse, the heartbeat of each specific moment that moves her, be it celebratory, whimsical, or melancholic is what she hopes to share with everyone.


Traveling across genres, known to be electro-acoustic, folk, alternative, jazz, and contemporary, she is determined to paint, to smudge, to ink, to lightly dot each imagination to connect her story to yours.


Album sales available at Replugged Music.

Rush your love.

We have chosen this video as a suggestion for your next cover. I can't recall the number of times when i sang this and got a smile in return. Remind someone you love them today. Here's a version of Have I Told You Lately covered by Do:

Rush.

Here's a few minutes before catching a show, apparently a display of colours and sound. We'd see. It should be good.

I pondered over the purpose of music.

Oftentimes, it ends at the accomplishment of a certain song, a certain instrument (if there ever can be!), or a certain style of music, or even a certain season in one's musical journey.

But WHERE do we really go with it?

This week has been an eye-opener for me.

Music in itself, as beautiful a means of articulating thought and emotions, can never be an end if its beauty is to be sustained.

We are thankful to have an opportunity in sharing our gifts in music and music learning, so that music could Through the amazing eyes of these talents, express their hearts, encouraging, comforting, rejoicing.

A slightly poppish rendition by UkuleleAcademy:


Electric git/cello/uke i like this interesting combi, and the uke gives a nice touch of django to it in its comp:


I love the energy of these 2, slightly shakey vid, but oh man, you can't beat such cute duo chemistry:


This is my winner for the week, listen to Caroline's dynamics and phrasing, it's gorgeous!
