Words Cannot Describe...

Munchin Munchin Outta Function

A couple of us shop-mates took our lunch leave yesterday and went to a Chinese Buffet. I had three full plates and drank a full pot of tea. It was well worth the money. Also I've been learning bit by bit more about music theory. Most of my learning comes from a book called "Jazz Piano" (I think?) that someone let me borrow. As far as my understanding goes Jazz is the pinnacle of music theory. So I learn it not because I necessarily like Jazz but moreso because I know it will solidly cover the ground that I want to.

No surprise

Does it surprise anyone that Hanz Zimmer wrote the music for the new Sherlock Holmes movies!?

I've been studying some different music modes and scales, here is a great example of the "dorian" mode and how it sounds. Forgive the lousy audio but the playing is amazing.

Ever since I joined the Jazz band at school in September, I've decided to go further in my knowledge of music. On the side I've been studying a bit through a book someone let me borrow. On the more inspirational side, pandora has been a good friend. I have a few stations that I listen through to aquire different musical tastes and techniques. I've a got a station that plays soundtrack music from all the favorite movies, another for classical music (starting with the ride of the valkyrie) and a few spanish mix match tunes. One song that has especially encouraged me to study and compose more is this one:
