Hey everyone! I hope weāve all been well :D Iāve made the decision to discontinue posting on this blog, as Iād like to merge this music blog with my main personal blog! Thank you all for following me, if you are still interested in keeping up with the little stuff I do, please find me here from now on!Ā http://pekoe-chu.tumblr.com/Ā :^)
Finished recording cello and now I want to leave this song as it currently is :9
hi, i'm singing atlantica for a music assessment and i was wondering if you had sheet music but with the melody on it as well? (p.s. i love ur music + have a nice day!)
Hi anon, that is so exciting to hear!! Unfortunately I don't have the music with the vocal line; the piano part is all there is, sorry! But the vocal line can be learnt aurally, I believe in you šPiano part: https://www.dropbox.com/s/116t2zievevbm32/Atlantica%20%28Piano%29.pdf?dl=0(And thank you!!)
I met a man who told me, āLifeās about collecting stories. When youāre old, alone and crippled, you will have these stories to keep you warm.ā
Hereās the next song Iāve been working on! Itās a blueprint with guitar and vocals (still a little out of tune!). Next step: add cellos!! :D I wasnāt able to finish it this month, but I will post its progress across the next week or two! I hope everyone has been well :^)
Your live was amazing!!! Thanks for performing so wonderfully and having a great time on stage~ -M
OMG!!!! Thank you so much man, thank you for coming and I am so happy you enjoyed it!!! :D It was my first time performing live so next time if you come watch I'll make sure I sing those songs better šŖš¼!!!!
Hey Pekoe! I was wondering if I could animate one of your songs (Worry Seed) and post it to my YT channel. Of course this is all with your permission of course! And of course I would give you all the credit to the song and inspiration and such! If not, that's okay too! Love your music! You're such an inspiration! Keep on being awesome!
OMG! Dude go ahead, that's such an honour aw!!! :') Please let me know when you've uploaded it, I'd love to see your work! Do you know where to download the song? It should be through a SoundCloud link right below the lyrics :)

Hereās a new song! Originally I was going to just have piano and voice for this, but the piano recording seemed a bit bland so I thought Iād give electronic instruments a go instead. In a way I think thereās a certain sadness that is gone now with this produced version, but it turned out so different from what Iāve previously made that I thought Iād keep it like this!
Was flipping through my folders and came across this from 2014!! Imagine if āEskimoā really ended up following this style... :O
Can't wait to try out a new piano mic I just bought! Will be attempting to record a new song across the next few days, I'm hoping to keep it simple this time with just piano and vocals; perhaps a music box too. Also it's named after a Pokemon move which was an unintentional mistAKE
OH MY GOD YOUR COVER FOR FIREFLIES SOUNDS AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for all the fantastic and once-in-a-lifetime moments you have given me; your music is my go to and I have recommended you to soooo many people because I love what you do~ A mutual of ours was promoting you on FB and I still remember clicking on Evergreen on a whim, falling in love instantly. It was new, exciting, different, meaningful in so many ways - I never know what to expect! Keep surprising me, because it's working~ -M
OMG dude!!!!! WhoA thank you heaps, knowing my music surprises you makes me so gleeful and determined to keep trying out new things!!! Thanks for sticking by for all these years hehe, what happens next will SHOCK you...
A bit late to the party, but here is something I had been working on during July! I was wondering how I could stylise this song, and noticed that the āleave my door open just a crackā section had a little bit of a Latin groove, and that gave me an idea; I wanted to ātransferā the songās energy to a more acoustic, minimal cover through re-imagining its playful, spontaneous feeling. Hope you enjoy :D
I'm so happy to see you're doing more music! I found you ages ago it feels like. I'm pretty sure it was a nicki minaj cover. The florist is my favourite album to listen to in the winter for some reason. BUT SERIOUSLY SO EXCITED TO LISTEN TO THE NEW ONE. Do you still post covers often? I had a gander at your tumblr but it doesn't seem like there's very much.
Yo man, omg thank you heaps hahaha!! And omg I hope you like the newer album! Yeah I haven't posted many covers, but right now I'm working on a Fireflies cover which is coming along alright, and I'm also re-recording Anaconda but with better quality! Not too sure what else atm, so I'm open to requests and suggestions š

Hi Pekoe! I just wanted to say that your music is so beautiful and unique and you're really an inspiration to me! I wanna ask how do you record your music? For example with the piano, do you connect your keyboard to your computer and record it and then layer the vocals over after you record? Or do you do it all in a studio? <3
Hello, aw thanks so much!! ā¤Yeah, youāre spot on with the steps; regardless of recording a real piano or using your MIDI controller (I use both, depending on what piano tone I want for the song), usually the piano is recorded first to provide the base, then vocals, and then I decorate the remaining space with other instruments! Even when I am in the studio I follow this layout. This method provides a clear structure for you to layer on other instruments, but it is also limited in that you may end up having to rely on the pianoās presence (since itās the foundation) which takes away the freedom to experiment with new textures at different sections of a song.
Also, layering your bass early in the songās making will provide you with a better feel and idea for how the song can build. When youāre adding layers, consider what effect or imagery you would like to create! Do you want the bowed cellos to thicken the melody for a luscious imagery, or do you want plucked cellos to juxtapose the vocals to add interest and introduce a cheeky character? Literally you can do whatever you like š
Percussion, bass, plucked strings, woodwinds and brass can sound okay as MIDI, depending on the quality of your MIDI library - but bowed strings definitely sound better real unless if youāre making electronic music!
A draft of a new song Iāve written! Now Iām out of ideas :^) The backing vocals will be re-recorded because they are quite out of tune (oops..)
OK! LAST TIME IāLL EVER POST SEASHELL ON HERE. Came back to this song recently and Iām finally happy about the section between CH1 and V2! FINISHED NOW, BYE BYE SONG!!
EDIT: In addition, a mid range frequency in the vocal part was reduced, because I had only just noticed how the older vocals had a slightly overbearing presence... which means now the song's volume can be turned up more!
