2024 Submissions
Diamonds in the Sea
I wrote this song for my boyfriend for our one-year anniversary. I wanted to lyrically tell him how much I loved him and how much he's helped me shine. He had doubted himself in the past thinking that he was not doing enough.
Just This Time
This is a R&B beat that I made a while back in August of 2023, but when I recently found it again I knew it would be the perfect beat to submit to this competition. I've been making beats for over a year now, so I have enough experince to feel confident in this beat that I made.
Waste the Time
As the band duo Rental we make, mix, and master our music from our bedrooms. For our song “Waste the Time,” we created the instrumental of the in the summer of 2023 and worked on it for months.
One More Night
I’ve been a fan of electronic music my whole life. Around four years ago, I thought it would be fun making my own. So, my music production journey began.
Completionist
This song is about over achievement and how it is unhealthy to try to accomplish or do everything at once. The song gives off vibes of video game music.
days gone
Well i made the music cause i thought it would be fun and cause my teacher said that we get a grade and so i thought i would do one of the hardest one to do by far so i did music after the first day i went home and started mixing and then asked one of my friends to send me a guitar riff then me and michael riverbed it then we slapped it on youtube to turn it in
sympathetic heart
I made this song on October 7, 2023, drawing inspiration from the television show 'BoJack Horseman.' Written from his perspective, the entire song delves into the theme of forgiveness while emphasizing the importance of one not forgetting someone's mistakes.
Don’t Work
A cool blend of R&B and Soul with bouncy production, a catchy hook, and an old-school feel. This self-written and self-produced track dives into a person's experience moving on from a relationship that, when reflected on, didn't work since the start.
Get'em Jumpin
Getting the opportunity to play at Sweetwater music hall in Mill Valley was one of the best experiences ever and I will cherish it forever.
Cello Concerto No. 1 in C Major 1st movement by Haydn
This is the first five minutes of Haydn's Cello Concerto No. 1 in C Major 1st movement.
Sonate, Op10, No. 1 by L. Van Beethoven
I played Sonate, Op10, No.1, by Beethoven. At first, I was intimidated by the difficulty of the piece, but as I started to learn it and it started to grow on me, I quickly fell in love with it's rhythm of fast paced tempos and dreamy scenery.
In the Palm of my Hand
I was doing a photoshoot of a moon lamp one of my friends gifted me, and decided to hold it up in my palm.
BWV 997 Gigue
In this performance of Bach's BWV 997 Gigue, I wanted to bring out the special beauty of Bach's music on my classical guitar. Bach's pieces are famous for being complex but also intricately delicate, and playing his music feels both challenging and exciting.
First Record
This is a part of my first clarinet record of Grand Duo Concertante in Eb major, Opus48, for Clarinet and Piano, Carl Maria Von Weber, Romantic era.
Zombie by The Cranberries
As Bentley Upper School's music club, we have made a goal of spreading music throughout our community through performance. The Cranberries' Zombie was the first piece that we selected this year, as we truly resonated with the song in parallel to our world and all that occurs today.
Cello Concerto in E minor, Opus 85, Movement 1 by Elgar
The Elgar cello concerto is one of my favorite classical repertories. I preformed this concerto with the Central Oregon Orchestra in February 2023 as my solo debut with an orchestra.
