こんにちは。
ボストンでは11月1日の深夜にサマータイムが終わって、iPhoneやMacBookの時計は午前1:59の1分後に午前1時になりました。これで日本との時差は14時間差です。

さて、私は中間試験のプロジェクトが一つ残っているのですが、昨日レコーディングが全て終わったので、これからミックスをしてウェブサイトにアップロードをしたら中間試験は終了です!
このプロジェクトはCWP major必須のWriting for Small Ensembleという授業のもので、Smallと言ってもLead vocal, Backup vocals(男女2人ずつ), 5horns, rhythm section, percussionという編成でポップス曲を自分で編曲して録音する、というプロジェクトです。
少ない楽器編成ではないのにスモールと名前がつくのは、CWPはこの後Big bandのアレンジを習う授業があるからだと思われます。
