The purpose of this blog will be more or less to focus on the work that I am doing. It shall serve as a place for me to document all of the efforts I am putting forth, so that I can track progress, share with others and have something to look back on.
I am very heavily involved in a lot of projects right now. The main thing at this moment are my performances this weekend. I am DJ'ing twice for San Francisco Pride - once Sat night in the Castro and once downtown on Sunday. I am also performing live on Pride mainstage sunday. It is an original song incorporated with an audio recording of Harvey Milk. It is a tribute to him and the song will be performed by myself on piano and "unwoman" on cello.
These are 3 of the biggest gigs of the year, all in one weekend. I have never performed live before so there has been a lot of work going into the preparation of this piece. Unfortunately I don't seem to have nearly as much time as I would like as there are other things taking up my time as well. Between school and work and trying to work on my own career as a full time job I become quite busy quite quickly. It is a good thing as I am accomplishing a TON, I just need to make sure I can balance it out with enough sleep ;-)
Speaking of, perhaps I should pass out soon. This is just a starter to get things going. Today was good though. I managed to get into the studio with Dave Earl aka SF Logic Ninja to get some final advice on the mix of the Harvey Milk piece. He liked it and said it should definitely be ready for mastering tomorrow. That was good news because I have had to go back and change it now so many times and it's nice to have the mix solid. So yea, tomorrow Greg Gordon, the man behind my school, Pyramind, will be doing the mastering on this piece personally. Quite an honor I must say. In fact my whole school has been SO supportive on this project and it has definitely led to it sounding the way it does now. They also let me record the cello in their Pro Tools HD room with killer mics! It now sounds super sweet :)
Oh and I got word today that my website is getting worked on, that's sweet. www.liamshy.com coming soon!
Ciao for now,
Liam Shy
