ukubassist


the title of this blogpost is officially my new status. i am now a ukubassist. 

haha i'm sure there isn't such word or term but from the word itself one can easily know that i now play the ukulele and bass. not so professionally though but good enough for pass time and passion. for the record, i self-learn both instruments so i'm not exactly the super good kind. just nice to play couple of my favourite songs and what not.

i remember having talking about this in the past.. somehow i have a connection to instruments with four strings. lame coincidence i guess. EADG strings of bass and GCEA strings for ukulele. some bass tend to have five though but for now, the current one i have has only four.. so yeah.

all in all, this post is just that.. nothing much.

matsuri

i'll honestly be rather surprised if you know what i am going to talk about the moment you read the title of this post. to be precise, the title is somewhat related to this man..






okay, this picture is actually slightly younger than how he looks now. anyway, he is Kitaro, a Japanese composer famous for his countless instrumental tracks over the decades. the most famous one would be titled "Matsuri". i first heard it seven years ago. only last year, i started to listen many of his albums and discover many more decent pieces. nonetheless, "Matsuri" remains one of the best ones yet.

if you have 8 minutes, do enjoy the piece..
