There has been no Journal entry since December, so I thought the time has come to update the notice of my publical existence for you. Or at least for the ones of you I haven't met recently.

So ...

Hello!



Actually, I tried to think of something worth journal-ing since a few weeks, but the most things in my life ar either boring, or of personal interest only, or the most of you already knew them, e.g. all the awesome people I met on the conventions on which I've been since then (hi, awesome people who know that they are meant x3). But just yesterday I got something I thought I could share with you.
In parts.
Especially the parts including me.

I should explain.

Further back, in January, there has been a performance of songs and poems by Bertolt Brecht, sung and spoken by some students of German Literature in Jena (one of them being me; go figure) and their professor. For this, I composed a ballad about Brechts poem "Die Jungfraunballade" (I'm having problems with translating both title and poem properly; suggestions appreciated) and "performed" it myself. Which is, I sung but did nothing else to fully justify the use of the term "perform". Well.
Everything has been recorded and yesterday I got my DVD. Since two persons I would have liked to come, could not, they now get the opportunity to watch and listen to what they unfortunately missed:

Apart from one or two notes, I'm quite happy how it turned out. ^_^ I still don't find myself a skilled singer, though.
But who cares!

There are two other scenes whit me, one of them being a not-so-well recited poem, the other one being the duet "Cannon Song" from the Three Penny Opera by Brecht and Kurt Weill. Though I like the latter, I don't want to post it since I don't have the permission of the person singig with me.

So, yeah. That's quite ... the most interesting thing of the last half year. Except for the conventions and the awesome people I've met there (hi again x3).

So far.
Poly.
