Reply To: Your song lyrics, etc.
I was actually going to start a shameless self-promotion thread, because I'm basically trying to advertise everywhere, but I have a Musical to which I wrote the score(working with a Cinema Studies major who wrote the Book and Lyrics), which is going up on March 2, 3, and 4. Evening performances on the 2nd and 3rd, Matinee on the 4th, in Oberlin, Ohio(just off of 80), Little Theater, Warner complex(It's the student production black box theater).
Anyways, I've posted demos of the entire score save the bridge to one song and another entire song, because when I recorded last month, they hadn't been, technically, written yet. Now they've been written, but I don't have access to the technology I used to convert from a 4-track recorder to CD, which is what I used to post them online. Three songs(Son of a Virgin, Simple Words, and Morning in America), were recorded last spring, with a demo cast, and me playing piano, when the score actually only consisted of those three songs, and three other songs that aren't in the final score. The rest of the songs were recorded recently, with me singing and me on piano. The quality of these is way down, because I was using outdated technology, because until I head back to Oberlin in another month, I don't have access to the good stuff. Also I'm not a vocal performance major like the demo cast. There will be a good version coming out some time in the spring, but I'll most likely be selling that one, as it will be recorded with the full pit(really a misnomer, it's a 4-piece pit, Guit, Bass, Drums, Piano), and singers that are specifically chosen by song, on high-quality equipment, and so I can justify asking for money kind of.
Anyways, the point to this all, is that it's up at http://www.putfile.com/Khavall so you can get it there, and also if you live around Ohio, March 2, 3, 4, Oberlin, you can see it performend live with the real pit.
