The recording schedule with Min Ha-young was over, but that didn’t mean that all the recordings for the album were over.
Sometimes I had to record Chae Yoon-i’s piano performance, and Jo Seong-hyun had to record his own violin.
It wouldn’t take too long, so it wasn’t too much of a burden, but the fact that there was still work left to do was a bit annoying.
I’m not worried about Chae-yoon’s piano, but Jo Sung-hyun’s own violin was a little bit worrying, so it’s even more so.
‘I’m glad I finished recording the vocals.’
Before recording with Min Ha-young, I was fortunate to have finished recording all of Jo Sung-hyun’s vocals.
Perhaps it would have been stressful if I had come to say that I had to record vocals as well.
Anyway, Seong-hyeon Cho eventually decided to bring his violin to the company and start recording.
The company also has a violin.
The violin Cho Sung-hyun used wasn’t a really good violin, of course, but it was the instrument he was most familiar with so far.
It would be right to record with the instrument you are most familiar with.
Today, as a recording assistant, Hyuna Jang was with me.
There wasn’t really any particular reason.
Hyun-ah Jang volunteered, and it would have been a proper engineer… .
As Jo Seong-hyun was in charge of this album from start to finish, it was because he didn’t really need a good engineer.
I had a conversation with Jang Hyun-ah.
“Senior, can we start?”
Hyun-ah Jang raises her head and looks at Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Sung-hyun waved his hand at her voice.
“Wait. I think we need to loosen up and move on.”
It is difficult to start recording right away.
When recording vocals, the instrument is the same, just like we usually do with our necks relaxed.
It’s only natural to quickly release your hand and start recording.
After taking a breath, Seong-hyeon Jo raised the violin and took a pose.
Slowly raise and lower the bow, gently placing the bow on the strings of the violin and bowing.
His arms moved, and the violin began to sound.
Jiying.
A soft sound fills the recording studio.
Jang Hyun-ah looked at him blankly.
This is the second time I’ve seen Jo Sung-hyun play the violin.
It was very impressive when I first saw it, and it is still the same today.
Hyeon-ah Jang quietly watched Jo Sung-hyun playing the violin.
Jo Sung-hyun did not care about her gaze and continued playing.
Jiing.

Most of the songs he played were Paganini’s.
I like Paganini’s song style, and it fits my taste well.
When I try to play Paganini’s songs when my hands are not relaxed, I stumble and my hands are twisted.
That’s how much you have to loosen your hands.
Had it been like that for 10 minutes?
Jo Seong-hyeon lowered his bow and looked at Jang Hyun-ah.
“I think I’m ready now. Shall we start?”
“Yep. All right.”
Jang Hyun-ah calms down and sits down.
Jo Sung-hyun entered the recording booth and put on earphones.
This earphone was chosen because it was inconvenient to create a posture for violin playing when wearing a headset.
Fortunately, the earphones were not uncomfortable.
Jo Sung-hyun played to the music heard through earphones.
jig jig.
His violin makes the song richer.
However, Seong-hyeon Cho was sulking and kicked his tongue.
The perfect song is being created in my head, because I always felt like I was lacking a few percent because of my lack of performance.
This was not a problem that Jo Sung-hyun could solve right away, so he had to be content with recording the same part a few times.
What do you do when your playing skills do not reach the level you think you are?
You just have to accept it and practice harder to improve your playing skills.
Still, Cho Sung-hyun did not think negatively.
It is great to know that one’s performance is lacking.
It’s not just that my violin isn’t that great, it’s because he understood exactly what it lacked.
What that meant was clear.
It means that Jo Sung-hyun’s musical talent and his vision are far superior to his current playing skills.
And if you have a good vision, you can quickly develop your skills.
“thank you for your effort. Seniors.”
Hyun-ah Jang offered coffee to Jo Seong-hyun, who came out of the recording booth, and said.
Taking a sip of the coffee she offered, Cho Seong-hyun arranged his violin.
Now, Chae-yoon’s dismissal time was approaching.
It also meant that Seong-hyeon Jo was not far away from work.
“Hyun-ah also suffered. Shall we go to the conference room?”
Jo Sung-hyun said that and lifted the violin case.
Jang Hyun-ah nodded and left the recording studio first.
Going to the conference room with her, Jo Sung-hyun drank coffee and opened his mouth.
“How was the broadcast?”
“Ah, I consulted with the producers as much as possible. They say that we can do almost anything we want.”
In the entertainment program that Yumi decided to appear in, there are parts that the producers requested.
There was also a desire from Jo Sung-hyun and Pan Entertainment, so it would have been better to coordinate well in the middle.
Looks like Jang Hyun-ah did a great job.
In fact, Jo Seong-hyeon was satisfied with the one hour off work that Jang Hyun-ah had been confirmed last time, so he didn’t pay much attention to the other parts of the discussion.
The most important part for him is the part of the song work requested by the production team.
Do I have to work on a new song, or do I just have to work as much as choosing and arranging a song for a concert like Jang Hyun-ah said last time?
That’s the most important thing.
There was no new album we were preparing with Yumi, so it would have been a little difficult if we had to work on a new song.
“How did you and Yumi talk?”
“I like Yumi a lot. He said that he would like to decorate a special stage for the concert… You said what kind of song you wanted.”
“okay? I’m glad if Yumi is positive.”
It will make work a little easier.
Jo Seong-hyeon shook his head at that thought and answered.
“But there is a song that I want to do the most, and I asked my senior for his opinion on this one, and he said that we should do it if possible.”
“What kind of song is it?”
“Senior, do you know ‘Kingdom of the Wind’?”
Jo Sung-hyun blinked at the familiar title.
Of course you have to know
In the past life, I have seen it many times.
Because this was the movie I watched with Chae-yoon in this lifetime.
It gave Chae-yoon a very strong shock, and the child couldn’t play the piano properly for several days, so I couldn’t understand it.
“I know. You are famous.”
“He said he wanted to sing one of the main OSTs from that ‘Kingdom of the Wind’.”
“These are all songs that should be called the main OST. What song is it?”
“It’s a song called ‘Let the wind blow’.”
Because it was a really famous song, Jo Sung-hyun nodded.
It didn’t seem like it would be easy to arrange the songs because they are so intense and high-quality songs.
Perhaps because of that, Yumi wanted to ask her opinion once and proceed.
“I think it would be good to think about this. You will have to ask for permission from Darjeeling, so I think it would be a good idea to contact them once and think again later if possible.”
“Ah yes. Then we will.”
Jang Hyun-ah answered right away.
It was a movie made by Darjeeling, and of course all the rights were there, so I had to get permission to use it.
Even if we discussed hard and reached a conclusion, it would be useless if Darjeeling did not allow it, so asking for permission was the priority.
After that part was resolved, Jo Sung-hyun decided that he should talk to Yu-mi.
‘I wish I could allow it.’
It probably won’t be that easy to work with.
The song is so good, and it’s a song that fits perfectly with the movie… This is because, if you make a mistake, an artist named Yumi could rather be eaten by the song.
Arranging the song well while keeping Yumi alive will be a very difficult task, and it will take some hard work.
Still, I wanted to work on it.
It was also a song that Jo Sung-hyun himself liked, and above all else.
‘If Yumi sings ‘Let the wind blow’ at the concert, Chaeyoon will like it too.’
Because it was obvious that the child would like it very much.
He wanted to work if possible.
I did my best to work on it, and I was looking forward to what the outcome would be if Yumi sang a song.
Jo Seong-hyeon gently leaned forward and showed a young smile.
* * *
got off work
Jo Sung-hyun went straight to school to see the child.
I wanted to leave a little late because I was talking with Jang Hyun-ah, but fortunately I was able to arrive at the right time in a hurry.
“Dad! Let’s go!”
As soon as Chae-yoon finds Jo Sung-hyun, she runs to see him.
At the child’s words, Jo Sung-hyun laughed and straightened Chae-yoon’s hair.
“You should say hello to Yeongjun and that’s it.”
“Ah, yes.”
When Jo Sung-hyeon said that, Chae-yoon turned her head toward Yeong-jun with an apologetic face.
The child waved to Yeongjun.
Youngjun smiled and waved to the child.
Jo Sung-hyun opened his mouth with a smile.
“Hello Youngjun.”
“hello.”
“Almost all preparations for the album are done, how about Youngjun?”
“I am almost done with my work. But the manager asked me to draw another picture, so it seems like it will take a little more time to work on it.”
Yeongjun says while scratching his cheek.
Jo Sung-hyun blinked when he heard that Jang Hyeon-ah had asked Yeong-jun for one more painting.
All I need to do is work on the album cover, but I wondered what else would be needed.
I thought I should ask Hyuna Jang one more time later.
“okay. Work hard and draw beautifully.”
“yes.”
After a brief conversation with Yeongjun.
Jo Seong-hyeon and Chae-yoon left school.
I didn’t go straight home today.
The destination was different.
Originally, we should have met on the weekend.
Because the song was completed, I finally couldn’t stand it and decided to meet Professor Shin Kyung-hwa today.
I wonder if Chae-yoon had a lot of expectations, so she walked faster than usual and took care of Jo Sung-hyun.
Jo Sung-hyun was also looking forward to it, so I walked a little faster with the child.
and shortly thereafter
They were finally able to arrive at Professor Shinhwa’s home.
