I&#8217;m talking Explosions in the Sky, mono, Eluvium, whoever is on the Temporary Residence label. Most of that music is instrumental, so it&#8217;ll be interesting for me to adapt vocals to it.<\/p>\n<li>\n<p>Remember the idea for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/?entry_id=2470\">religious album<\/a>? That&#8217;s what <em>Requiem<\/em> is going to be. (Odd that I titled that entry &quot;Christian Burial Music&quot;.) I also took baby steps in the pillaging of <em>A Ghost In My Shadow<\/em>. I created a folder in my Cakewalk working directory for <em>A Ghost In My Shadow 2.0<\/em>. I&#8217;m still working out what will go where.<\/p>\n<li>\n<p>I wrote a lyric this morning &#8212; which I&#8217;ve <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/?entry_id=2633\">posted<\/a> &#8212; and I didn&#8217;t feel like giving it an English title. So I went with Japanese instead. It occurred to me a common practice with Japanese songwriters is to use English titles, even when they&#8217;re singing in Japanese. Why can&#8217;t it work the other way around? As such, I&#8217;ll title songs for this lyrics-first project in Japanese. I can&#8217;t seem to find a really appropriate translation for &quot;What I Deserve&quot;, but &quot;The Speed of Light&quot; is now \u300c\u5149\u901f\u300d, while \u300c\u5149\u304c\u306a\u3044\u300d remains \u300c\u5149\u304c\u306a\u3044\u300d.<\/p>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some gimmicks &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4Bkir-17","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gregbueno.com\/meisakuki\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
