Music
Thought I’d show a little of what I’m actually doing with my degree. This is a piece of music I wrote this week – and when I say this week, I mean that I started writing it on Tuesday and have only had eight or so hours to work on it. The recording isn’t great, it’s quite stylised, the timpani sounds even more out of tune than normal and the ending is pretty rubbish. All that said, I was reasonably happy with it.
The piece is called “Dentetsuteki Kawa”, which was my attempt at translating “Legendary River” into Japanese, using a combination of Google Translate and Wikipedia. Don’t ask how I got the name, because I’ve since forgotten and Google Translate tells me my name doesn’t make sense. So if someone can transliterate (into Romaji) “伝説の川” I would be most grateful. Until then, this name sticks. (The last bit is “no kawa”, I know that much.)
Edit: The piece is now officially called “Densetsu no Kawa”, and I’ll edit the score to reflect that once I get a chance. MP3 file updated.

Of course I went and put the kanji for “skin” (側also kawa) instead of river (川) but you get the idea :p
Like the tune btw!
