hi, friends!

i’m writing an email to a korean music artist named caremelody (케어멜로디). i wrote one email about the whole discography being removed on september 2025, and now i’m writing about english to korean title translation and an issue about wrong track titles.

here’s what i’ve got:

안녕하세요,

당신의 앨범 ”행복감 높이는 긍정 멜로디“는 잘못된 노래 제목들 있어요. (이 사진을 보세요.)*

(photo)

맞는 노래 제목들을:

햇살의 선율

오늘의 주는 기쁨

행복 사세요

온화한 미소

꽃 따라 바람 따라

구름 한 스푼

예쁜 집을 짓자

그리고 한 것을: 앨범들을 2024년 6월 4일부터 지금 (그리고 미래 발매들)을 애플뮤직에서 업로드하면 제목들을 한국어입니다.**

좋은 하루 보내세요!

-조이

*are these sentences grammatically correct?

**the asterisks isn’t included in the email. what i’m trying to translate is: “and one thing: if the albums on apple music are released from june 4, 2024 to now (especially future releases), the titles have to be in korean.”

questions:

1. what other things can i say that’s related to issues about wrong track titles and english to korean title translation?

2. how do native korean speakers begin and end emails?

hi, friends!

i suddenly thought of this question, so i'll answer first:

the piano (used in the peaceful piano card from the sleepy songs pack*, bedtime piano, and mindful piano cards) and the music box (used in the "music box" card) have certain notes (and chords) that are distorted, making it unpleasant to listen to from time to time if you like a song on the sleep radio. this is a sign that remastering needs work.

*"schubert's lullaby" from the instrumental lullabies card has a part where the piano plays the melody.

what about everyone else?

hi, friends!

here's what each instrument plays on my composition "sunset".

on the piano, both hands play the rhythm of the piece.

the harp plays the melodies in triad chords and the rhythm, providing harmony.

the flute and glockenspiel play the 2nd and 4th melodies, while the flute plays the 3rd melody with the kalimba playing it in fifth chords.

the strings support the 4th melody and the last 9 measures of the piece.

but what are some ideas for the piano to play (other than chords in the left hand) while the other instruments play the piece?

(for context, i'm just finalizing the piece for the release of my single called "sunset", which contains the original piece and some versions of the piece, including a bandcamp subscriber exclusive 1-hour version.)

edit: here's the score for more context. (we're focusing on the piano part.)

(this post is edited for information and score updates.)

previous post

hi, friends!

now that i received some feedback, here's the 2nd version of my composition called "sunset".

here are the differences between the first and second version.

the first version has:

- bells playing the 1st and 3rd melodies

- a right hand harmony that's not part of the piano accompaniment

- a looping c-b-a-g chord progression throughout the piece

- no countermelody on the 2nd and 4th melodies

thanks to your feedback about the changes, the second version has:

- a countermelody (played by the piano on the right hand) while the melody instrument plays the 2nd and 4th melodies

- the piano playing the 1st and 3rd melodies on the right hand instead of the bells playing those melodies

- a different chord progression per melody, plus 2 chord progressions on the ending (c-b-a-g on measures 65-72, b-a-g-f on measures 73-80)

here's the audio and sheet music.

feedback questions:

1. is the second version an improvement from the first?

2. are there other things that can be added or changed? if so, list those additions or changes, even if it's minor. (melody instrument change, more melodies, etc.)

3. would you like the song title to be changed to something else, or keep it as is?

hi, friends!

i have the yoto app on my ipad, but not the player.

when i opened it for the first time, i saw black bars on the left and right of my ipad screen. this more likely means that landscape mode isn't supported for the yoto app.

for those who have the app on their ipad, should they add support for landscape orientation?

hi, friends!

i made a composition called "sunset". i hope you like it! (any suggested changes to the composition and your feedback are appreciated.)

audio

score

the reason why the 2 instruments are called "instrument 1" and "instrument 2" is: you can pick any 2 instruments to play this piece with a musician friend and pianist.

hi, friends!

when i was on youtube, i saw and watched a channel called "pianoly". the channel claims that learning chords can make your progress better. but, is it true?

another one i like is "megan the piano teacher". she explains music and music history in a detailed way.

"hoffman academy" is the best one if you have kids.

but what other youtube channels do you recommend for someone that wants to learn the piano, but already knows music theory like me?

hi, friends!

when i was on youtube search, i found "word repetition", which is korean asmr.

because korean has plosives and affricates, i find it relaxing when said in isolation or with an "-ok" ending.

even some sounds from the english language are relaxing when said quietly.

because of that, i like korean. (pq asmr is one my favorites.) but what about y'all?

hi, friends!

i switched to duckduckgo in response to google's ai announcement.

but what other features would you like to see in the browser?

for me, i would like to see:

a "customize fonts for websites" in the appearance section of the settings

a "site restrictions" setting for sound, images, and more (plus a "mute this tab" and "mute this website" option in the tab menu)

an option to make customizable icons for the "favorites" section

(please hope that i picked the right flair.)

hi, friends!

youtube has removed the subscriptions tab as an “experiment”.

they quoted:

>Specifically, we’re testing a shift in the placement of the Subscriptions feed, moving it from the bottom navigation bar to the top of your screen as part of a new, swipeable Subscriptions and Home feed tab experience…

people like me needed to bring it back to the bottom.

what do you think about this?

hi, friends!

when i was listening to the yoto sleep radio, i noticed an audio playback problem called "aliasing" where some notes are distorted or crackled.

this happpened with the cards that have piano or music box as the instrument in the songs (like mindful piano).

should they change the piano and music box soundfont? if so, what would they use?

hi, friends!

when i was looking at some storybooks, i noticed that the punctuation placement in quotation marks for character dialogue seems weird.

here are some examples (they're not from books.):

1. "meow!" said the cat. (not "meow!", said the cat.)

2. i said "where is my dog?" (not i said "where is my dog?".)

3. the pig says "oink!" the cow says "moo!" (is it correct to put a period after the dialogue's punctuation?)

4. "hello," said jake. (not "hello!", said jake.)

5. "the song 'friends forever' was great!" said coco. (why apostrophes instead of quotation marks?)

the question is: why is it like this? which of the following example sentences are correct?
