Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - Ave Verum - Viva la Vida - Over the Rainbow - Here, There and Everywhere

Wonder of wonders.....Lucky that Anne gave up the usual full time job and devoted herself to the cause of music and machines: after much devoted and detailed devotion (by us too!), she unveiled our Sylvie video tonight (snapshot above and youtube address on whatsapp 20.5.20). Great to see it and how impressive for our first foray! What next?

Maybe it will be the Carole King number Anne introduced to us tonight, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow. Lovely arrangement which we practised against another homemade bandlab recording. This and all our recent recordings are uploaded to the song files on dropbox. And there's a separate online store too for all Chorovino recordings on Soundcloud.

Anne also spent some time taking us through the workings of Bandlab and how we can record our own tracks for a variety of our songs. Several of us have already signed up (all the men!). Just check in with Anne when you want to lay down a track to help avoid a madness of versions in the ether. We might set up a separate whatsapp group for this....

Back to the real thing and Elinor took us through four songs old and newish, as above. Good to have plenty of singing of such good music, and certainly it felt most comfortable to sing against our own recorded versions - it feels like we are singing as a choir. (Ave and H,T and E could benefit from some bandlab contributions.)

Elinor watched us sing even if she couldn't hear us and suggested we practise recording and videoing ourselves. Not an easy ask, but yes, it could be very useful.

And of course, there'll be another video soon.
