lo-fi beats

Low fidelity (lo-fi) is a genre of music that is considered aesthetically pleasing. It’s not distracting at all. I listen to lofi because it’s just really smooth, pleasing, calmful… it can take you away sometimes and you can just daydream. It’s something you can listen to while laying on your bed with emotions. Most of the time, it’s just instrumental beats. I listen to this genre while I study because it’s the best type of music that you can work to and focus on material.

A couple popular songs that include lo-fi beats are Jocelyn Flores – XXXTentacion. The beat he used is called “i’m closing my eyes” by potsu. Potsu’s beat “falling down” was also used in Carry On.

My favorite artist is Shiloh Dynasty. He’s featured in several songs but his voice is really nice. There is a playlist on spotify dedicated to his music and features if you want to check it out.

My favorite song is greafer – letting go. I started listening to it in the 8th grade and I still do now!

 

 

dhs orchestra: pre-concert

Instead of reviewing on music outside of the area, I’ll be sharing about music performed in our school! If you didn’t know, I’m part of the DHS Intermediate Orchestra. I play the violin, and the majority of my class does too.  From last years auditions, I was elected concertmaster for 2018-2019 year. I have plans to make it into advanced group next year and possibly district orchestra…

Every year, we have two concerts: one for winter and spring. We are performing for the winter concert very soon. This year, our pieces are The Polar Express, Arctic Crossing, In the Bleak Midwinter, and Carol of the Bells. We’ve been practicing since September. The earlier we practice, the better we will sound.

Orchestra means a lot to me because violin is the first instrument I excelled at. My previous teacher had lots of faith in me and has influenced me to go for bigger challenges. I always accepted her criticism and it still influences me today. My teacher now also relies on me and is confident with my skills.

I’ve always enjoyed playing the violin, but pretty much the keys to my improvement are pushing myself and patience. I know a lot of people that I really thought it was impossible in the 5th grade, but years have passed and I gradually got better. Don’t expect to be a master within the first year.

Do you play any instruments?

R.I.P Peep – 11/15/2017

This post is about the well known rapper, Lil Peep. His career pathway started in 2013, but music began in 2015. Around August 2017, his album “Come Over When You’re Sober Pt. 1” was made. It hit charts and he was recognized by millions across the globe. His tour began a few weeks later. During his tour in November 2017, he overdosed to drugs on a tour bus. It lead him to his death some moments later. From yesterday, it has been a year since his death and I wanted to make this blog to recognize him as a little tribute.

About a week ago, “Come Over When You’re Sober Pt. 2” was released. Some songs I could recommend by him are Awful Things, The Brightside, Spotlight, Benz Truck, Broken Smile (My All), and Falling Down.

Rest in peace and thank you for the music.
