I was introduced to Friendz.net about a year ago after the guys at Propellerhead Software posted a video that one of their users created using Reason. Not only was the music quite good but the way they crafted their songs seemed very organic. When listening to the music they produced, you really felt that what was captured by the computer was a moment in time. So, when I heard that J Rabbit from Friendz.net was putting our their first album, I knew that I would purchase it despite the cost of shipping being more than the CD itself since it would come from Korea.
Prior to receiving this album, my exposure to J Rabbit had been through the videos that Friendz.net posted on Youtube. I definitely recommend checking them out! Not only is the music great but the video production is quite fun to watch as well. It’s nice to see a group of indy musicians put out such quality material.
J Rabbit’s album, It’s Spring, is full of the same quality music that you’ll find in their videos. It’s fun, quirky and beautiful. Style wise, the songs can range from folksy to pop. A good part of the album is in English but there are also a handful of songs in Korean. Whatever the language may be, good music is good music. I’m proud to be able to reach out across the big pond and support such talented musicians!
Assignment- Woodwind Solo by theshaggyfreak
The little piece above was my assignment for this week and this time we have a woodwind in the mix. We were given a melody line where we had to give it to a woodwind instrument and accompany it with strings. Again, I’m still getting the hang of humanizing orchestral stuff but I think that I’m progressing nicely.
Since I had a busy schedule last week with Katsucon, I only did the required part of the week 6 assignment which consisted of just the sheet music. I’ve uploaded what I did to the website and you can download it if you wish to check it out. Here we were given a melody and had to orchestrate it with both strings and brass. If I get some extra time this week, I’ll work on turning it into music.

So, I don’t have much else to report since Katsucon took up quite a bit of my time during this past weekend. I have quite a bit on my agenda for this week, though, and I’m hoping to accomplish as much as I can. I guess we’ll see how it goes when I post next weeks report!
Katsucon 18 has been completed and I’m now back in the studio. Kate and I had a great time but we’re both pretty exhausted from our adventure. With that being the situation, there will be no regular comic today but I do have a little thing I worked on while at the convention which you can see below.
It’s always great to see some cosplayers who take the time to do something special with their costume. This particular Jack Skellington was done particularly well since he had the extra long legs as well as the arms. Below are some more pictures from the the convention including some other costumes that I liked.
