Music Producers Discovered Neighbor's Garage Band

December 26, 2011

As a kid, I lived next door to some certified rock stars. Of course I didn’t know it at the time. I just knew I enjoyed hanging out in the neighbor’s garage while the band practiced and loved any time I was allowed to strum a guitar or bang on the drums. One night, my neighbor’s band played at one of the major clubs in Chicago that was packed with music producers, and got “discovered.” It wasn’t long after that, that the band had packed up and moved, and no longer would the neighborhood hear the faint sounds of the band practicing every evening. It almost seemed eerily silent then because we had all gotten pretty used to hearing the music, even just the faint thudding of the drums. Without those sounds, the neighborhood seemed almost dead, and even the adults who used to complain about the volume level of the band, felt it seemed strange once they were gone.

Passion Towards Piano Lessons

September 6, 2011

I practiced the piano lessons at home mostly and came up with my own songs. Thus my classical piano playing was pushed a bit to the background and everything from fingerings to funding went to hell in the class. I wanted to play and sing at the same time but my piano teacher ignored this interest. She was understandably a good classical piano teacher. She taught the piano lesson by the book. However, I wanted to sing more and so when I was handed out information about Adolf Fredrik’s music classes in Taby school, I did not hesitate to apply. Of course, I wanted to go that school because they allowed the students to sing more.

My mom was worried over the long trips into town each day; I had the choice of taking Adolf Fredrik online piano lessons. But I wanted to go the school. We lived in Taby Church Village, a suburb of Stockholm, which was about an hour travel away from school. I started at Adolf Fredrik’s Music Classes. It was a good school for me in many ways. Only the choir was on the schedule of music lessons and we were free to learn other instruments at anytime.

After middle school, I joined the girls’ choir, a chorus you could apply from the Taby’s school. The atmosphere was warm and I felt important. I liked the high level of singing. I gathered a lot of experience during my time in the girls’ choir. We performed at the many concerts and we did tours throughout Sweden, Scandinavia and even China. We met many international choirs and experienced an enormous amount of fun. Even though I liked to sing in the choir, I wanted to sing more solo. I became curious about other music genres. As early as middle school, I discovered some soul artists such as Mariah Carey.

The Power of Techno

August 31, 2011

I think one of the powers of techno songs is to make your body dance. It can be irresistible at times. It starts with the right thumping beat, then naturally builds up, until you can’t stop it anymore and you just have to sway your whole body in this direction and that. That’s really some of the best scenarios when it comes to techno songs. Of course, there are times when your techno can be a flop. And I think that’s when you try to be more sophisticated, and you lose the sense of the beat and the rhythm. I wouldn’t want to lose my own sense of rhythm. It needs to really be kept simple, otherwise you might cater to the intellect of the person, but no longer to the pumping of his blood and heart. I think techno is unique in that way, that it needs to speak to the body.
