[News] Winter diary ~A7 Classical~ - release 23rd December 2015 (Thread #2)

[Uknow!]

I'm dying.

[jiarongisme]

Oh. My. God.

[TheRainbow]

Finally her clear vocal! Lol, quite nice!

[Aderianu]

Not bad

[maxikot]

Wow, this classical album really stands out What an arrangement I want whole classical themed tour now. Definetely would be original and a must-have in her discography.

An arranger decides on all the instrumentation (as opposed to the composer who decides on the actual notes/melody/chords, etc.). The composer can sit down and write the piece on a piano, and the arranger takes that information and "arranges" it in software to give life to the piece you actually end up listening to.

(It's after this that someone "mixes" the song by adjusting the levels that the arranger decided upon, and then after that someone masters the track, which is basically just adding EQ and giving the song it's final "full bodied power" that takes it from sounding like a demo and makes it sound full and rich.)

Hmm, the preview is too short. But I like that heavy bass.

I'm not usually one for Ayu's classical albums, but these previews have been excellent so far! This version of Last Minute is not as chaotic in its mixing. Good work Ayu.

[ayumisrael]

omg at Last minute's classical version. What piece of heaven (not the song) did I just hear!?

The main and only thing that bothered me with love classics is that they put classical music compositions into already composed songs (unlike sweetbox songs for example which were made/sampled with classical compositions).

[Machiko]

Last minute is so good!!

[BlackSilence]

WOW, that's some GACKT level shit! O_O did they met? >_>
Absolutelly breathtaking! THANK YOU GODS OF MUSIC!

[TheRainbow]

I hope NO FUTURE and Sorrows sound as awesome.

[jbrat2219]

Epic!!!

Thank you! Haha that actually really cleared stuff up haha


And Last minute sounds amazing!

[Gustavopc]

That preview was divine! Praise the Lord for those loud backing vocals on the chorus not being there. It sounds completely like a new song to me, loooving it <3

[kyo_arayuru]
