The Journey Behind Faraway Creating music often feels like capturing fleeting moments of inspiration and  Faraway  embodies that. Recorded impromptu on my digital piano on December 2, 2020, this piece shows my passion for music and the ongoing challenges of perfecting the process.  From battling background noise to experimenting with editing tools like Mauvio, this post unveils the behind-the-scenes efforts of bringing this music video to life.  Dive in to discover the story, the challenges and the joy of sharing this creation with you. A Dreamy Piece of Music It's a dreamy piece of music that I quite like. But being a perfectionist, I know it's far from being perfect. If you're planning to check out my latest music video, please bear with my imperfect music (as well as the background noise that's still an issue).  What's an Equalizer (EQ)? The app, Mauvio by  Accusonus  is not exactly good in terms of editing out the background noise, because it's app...

Crafting Music Beyond Instrumentals Creating instrumental music videos is an art in itself, but it often comes with unique challenges. From considering the addition of vocals to navigating the nuances of recording in less-than-ideal environments, each step requires creativity and problem-solving.  In this blog post, we'll explore these aspects, and dive into the process of composing Beautiful Day   and the trials faced along the way. Music Video This latest music video, titled Beautiful Day , only has instrumental music, just like all my music videos so far. I'm thinking of adding vocals to my music but I've yet to learn how to do so. And the other thing is, I play impromptu music (for my YouTube music videos), and so to add vocals to such music will be challenging unless I play the music first and then add lyrics for vocals thereafter.  However, that will probably give rise to another issue, and that is, I'd probably have to 'force' lyrics into the music that m...
