English-lyric covers (Looking for vocalists!)
Posted: 2010-09-21 13:29
UPDATE: Instead of looking for soloists, I'm entertaining the idea of turning this into a collaborative chorus project. (Yes, I was inspired by the Chinese fans' Spica tribute for Maaya's 30th birthday! Here it is on youtube if you haven't watched it yet; your life will be richer for having heard it.)
So if you are either a vocalist, instrumentalist, or work with music in some way, and have the interest and spare time, please drop me a line!

I like to re-write the words of Maaya's songs in English so that they can be sung to the original tune, but I haven't got the voice/range to cover them.
Examples of work I have done include...
Yubiwa/Ring (Escaflowne)
Youtube link (demo): www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo-oR-H4p5Q
Utsukushii Hito (Kentoushi Fune Saigen)
Youtube link (lyrics only): www.youtube.com/watch?v=14tDEOnKVEw
Hikari no Naka e/Into the Light (Escaflowne)
Youtube link (demo): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyq2MoQa93o (updated)
I'm looking for singers willing to provide vocals for these English re-writes and possible future collaborations. I'm looking more for range than timbre, but if by chance you are dillpops and sound exactly like Maaya, I would be more than delighted. :'D
I nearly forgot to mention this, but be able to record yourself. You don't need a studio or anything fancy. I just use a regular old podcast mic that connects via USB, my laptop, and a quiet room. So, if you have a decent webcam mic or karaoke mic... whatever works! And I'll gladly mix/edit the tracks, unless you have better programs/equipment. ♥
Naturally, this is just done for the fun of it and I won't be able to pay you, but if you're interested, I can be reached here, of course, as well as the following places:
My youtube channel (see signature)
My blog (see signature)
And my deviantART and LiveJournal accounts, where I am also 'nijibug'
So if you are either a vocalist, instrumentalist, or work with music in some way, and have the interest and spare time, please drop me a line!
