I've been upstairs for a while. So now Lucy is up here to stare at me til I go back downstairs.

An excellent name for a cat. I would Obey her if I were you.

My mom thought it up. I was gonna call her Lucille, cause I heard that song on the radio the day before I got her. But mom convinced me Lucy was better.

[Jolthig]

I'm back on the interwebs after an unintended hiatus.

Hey! Welcome back

[Jolthig]

Haven't seen you since before Ramadan tbh haha

[Geneviev]

I'll never understand why people write music on computers.

Aww... that’s cute. She def’nitely misses you.

Same. I think it’s better to write and make music not with electronic gadgets. I only use computers to write and make music if I don’t have an instrument or I don’t have a sheet on hand.

That's how it should be. Mozart didn't have a computer either.

And we’ll be waiting

Unfortunately, I’ve never had a pet and probably never will. They’re too expensive to buy, to take care of and too time consuming.

Well, I like to be old-fashioned. If I have nothing to do, get a sheet and start writing you don’t need your computer everywhere you go.

The cat in the flag is Lucy Ricato.

Cats are wonderful.

How many cats do you have?

You're very right. Tradition is sometimes important.

2. Brother and sister and they both love me

Awww. You have the sweetest cat family I’ve ever known of. Take care of them well.

That's really nice. They must be lovely. The question is, do they love each other too?

Electronic music can be beautiful, many synth sounds are best created and done through computers. Also, you can remix and remaster.

I find such music excellent background when I’m playing a game or drawing. It helps me get in the mood.

Which is true, too. GarageBand on iPhones make me able to access instruments I don’t have and playing it on a piano keyboard where I know how to.

But I prefer making and playing simple classical music — so I think I may stick to the piano.

That is true. Electronic music can be very good. But computers aren't the best way to write classical or choral music.

I agree. Sadly, the only instrument I have is the piano so I have to go to GarageBand for the other instruments like the violin and the clarinet and that stuff...

Yes they do

Good to know. I hope they have a good life with you

Not having the right instruments is the most annoying thing. It never sounds right if you play other instrument's parts on piano. Maybe I should try using GarageBand?

Well, it’s up to you. If you need more instruments but don’t want to spend any money, then I suggest GarageBand.

If you have only one instrument, like me, then do use GarageBand. One instrument is not an orchestra.

You can also merge your recordings from different instruments to make a song that, if done right, sounds like a real orchestra, when in reality there’s only 6 or so instruments.

One instrument can be a choir, if you try hard enough, but not an orchestra. I'll definitely try GarageBand.

(1) One instrument can be a choir, if you try hard enough, but not an orchestra. (2) I'll definitely try GarageBand.

(1) That’s true... you can play higher and lower versions of a song using the same instrument.
(2) Be careful, though... do not get addicted to GarageBand. Recently, I started learning how to play the piano by myself and I’m proud of that, but I’m also aware that if I use GarageBand too much, then my skills on the real piano might be lost. So play your instruments so as not to lose skills.

That is always important: Practice 40 hours a day and don't let GarageBand interrupt that.

Yup wait what. Although... if I wanted to play the piano while I’m eating, I can’t go to my real piano so I have to play GarageBand

And it’s harder for me because I never learned how to read a song sheet, the notes and all that. To play the few 1-minute songs I know I have to remember the sequence on which notes are pressed on. So I have to remember that on the real piano, too, which is much more bigger than an iPhone.
