When writing "it's", the phrase starts with the "t" which is written downward and then the "s" is added in an upward motion. The parts of the cursive characters are selected based on the motive direction of the pencil when you are writing, where the idea is that the letters flow smoothly when you write words and phrases. įor example, "i" is the dot atop the cursive "s" is the ascending part of a lower-case "s" in cursive and "t" is the descending angled line of cursive "t". It's a relatively obscure type of shorthand, and it's based on a circle and cursive writing-both of which make sense to me-so I like it. I have been teaching myself scientific shorthand for nearly two decades, with some success, but mostly in terms of understanding phonetics, which is very helpful with doing the phonetic scripting for "Blue". The arranger and producer for T-ara is a personal favorite, and I like the way there are "sparkles" in the T-ara songs. Īmerican Pop music is obnoxious, so I'm totally into K-pop now (and Metallica). The instruments are Jazz guitar, bowed cello, celeste, grand piano, and lap steel guitar, which is an odd combination, but so what. She's singing "OO" for each note, and except for the Intro, she's singing half-notes and whole-notes, so it's not so elaborate but it might help you hear how she sounds in a different genre, which is somewhat Classical with a bit of Jazz. I have a composition that I did a few years ago to have a bit of FUN when I was exploring ornamentation and being Pretend Mozart, so I added a bit of "Blue", which took about an hour and included making some changes to the melody. I have used "Blue" on a few songs-mostly doing very simply singing-so I'm not proficient in every aspect of "Blue", but I like what I'm able to do, even though it's not so advanced. Realivox 'Blue" is on sale now at an attractive discount, and she's fabulous. I'd want to place her against a subtle instrument accompaniment, and all the demos seem to be with her singing against a huge cinematic backing orchestra (not quite my thing.) I'm not sure how she'd sound exposed, though. I've considered purchasing this library for some time.

Bo and I are happy with the results, and we feel this library fills a void in the world of sample libraries. We've immersed ourselves in the study of numerous styles of fiddle playing over the last year and realized that creating a fiddle sample library would be quite a challenge. This is a library we have been wanting to produce for quite some time now.
