Summernight-Party

I talk a lot about the good things at my school, and I think I'll never stop, because last Friday we had the annual huge summernight party in the park. It's a huge event with over 4500 tickets sold! The 2-4 grades need to do either a food-booth, one for drinks which the 4th years usually make, or a cultural booth.
Since the topic was "Swiss made" this year we decided to do a shooting range kind of like Wilhelm Tell where you had to shoot apples down from politician's heads.. It was a lot of fun!

I also played a concert with my friends from the music workshop and it was amazing! So many people came to listen and danced all the time, clapped their hands and had a lot of fun!

Music for the KSWE-News

Since last year our school has got their own YouTube channel. There they post videos every few weeks about current topics that are discussed in school and what the students ought to know.
I think that this concept is really good and shows that our school is modern and uses new ways of communication to talk to their students.

So this year the new people making the videos came up to me and asked me "hey, why don't you make the music for our videos?" and of course I agreed!
It was really fun, because I have never made an Intro-Song before and me and the video-guys think that I did a good job, but you can take a listen for yourself ;)

Hiking on the back of the cheese

Well now you are just wondering, what on earth is he doing on the back of a cheese?! So today I went hiking in the mountains with my parents; an activity we did not do together for quite some time!
We hiked up the "Chäserrugg" which you can translate to Cheese Back ^^

It is a lovely place which such a stunning view and the weather was just gorgeous!
It took us altogether about four hours to get on the top but we were rewarded with a nice (late) lunch and a cold drink :)

Jamming and making music with my friends

This week was really cool! It was the last one of my summer holidays and I have enjoyed it a lot!
I have been making a lot of music in the last week for the new album. And we formed our own music group with which we want to play outdoors on the street sometimes :)
Another friend of mine got herself a hang-drum. It's a really cool instrument and we've tried it out yesterday which was so much fun!
I also skyped with a friend who is a musician and lives in New York. He often takes time to help me with recording things and explained to me the basics of synthesis music a couple months back.
Tomorrow I will start my next year in school and I am really looking forward to it, because now I get to choose which subjects I want to focus on and I've chosen music. So now I will have four hours more music lessons every week and choir and also a djembe lesson which I am so excited for!!
