Betty Donelly joins the International Songwriting Competition!
Betty Donelly joins the International Songwriting Competition!
One week after celebrating my fourthiest birthday with some close friends of mine it was time to start thinking about the International Songwriting Competition.
The deadline was 15 october (on a sunday), but the post office closed its doors on friday 12 october at 5 PM.
On Monday I had a friend musician come over to give me some tips and tricks for the recordings and to help with the selection of the songs. Eventually we settled on three songs which had to be recorded in three days (tuesday, wednessday and thursday), leaving friday to do some final mixing (that's what i thought), burn the songs onto cd and get it posted before 5 PM friday...Eventually the envelope was stamped at 3 PM!
Two of the songs had minor changes compared to the original versions and one song (in this moment) was lacking a bassline altogether. The first two days I was on schedule and had recorded epyphites and the godly machine, but on thursday i still had to invent the bassline to 'in this moment' and was quite running out of time...You see, I had to invent it then practice the bassline and record it error-free...You surely can imagine that I was getting a bit nervous as the day went by and as I had to stop playing at 10 PM so to not disturb the neighbours. It seemed like I was getting nowhere but in the end I managed just fine and considering the deadline (which by the way is now extended until somwhere in november), i can say that i am quite pleased with the result...Sure, it still sounds amateurish but hey, i did it didn't I?...
I posted the songs on my betarecords page .
I presented the songs to ISC in the following order:
1. in this moment (NEW SONG RELEASE)
2. epyhites alt. version
3. the godly machine alt. version
I would very much appreciate any comments you might have...so don't be shy, post your reply!
All the best
Betty

new betty donelly promo video
hello,
just scroll down to see the betty donelly promo video...
it's rather cool although it's just photos and no actual footage. i also posted this video on my my space profile and on you tube.
if you would like to become my friend on my space or you tube or just want to leave a nice comment please be my guest.
i've still had no answer from the copyright office and i might be recording in august with a drummer and maybe a bass player. i still have to contact the latter.the drummer is often abroad for work and in august up until 15 september he will be in the country but he will also go on vacation so i'll be happy if we could get at least a couple of songs recorded.
that's it for now
take care

betty donelly reloaded
hello,
since there were quite a lot of different betty donelly blogs going on at the same time it was kinda hard for me to keep track of all of them...so i thought it was time for a little spring cleaning although it's a little late now this time of the year. so now i centralised everything on this blog. that way it's much easier to handle.
my gender doctor has confirmed that i have GID (gender identity disorder), which is a term that won't be used much longer since it is in fact not a mental disorder but a psyche/body mismatch which is corrected by transforming the body so that it is aligned with my female psyche. so a better word would be gender dysphoria.
but this is going to be a blog mainly supporting my musical needs. due to financial difficulties i could no longer maintain my homepage www.bettydonelly.com so please don't bother looking into that, it's gone!
on the other hand, i have written 12 new songs (7 with full arrangements) but they are not yet copyrighted so i can't start gigging yet. and i'm currently not in a band but that won't keep me from gigging solo once the copyright issue has been taken care of. i think the songs are great even if i say so myself!...
trannies are well known for their magical powers
you can listen to some of my old songs plus my untouchable friend and the void, which i recorded at home with voice two guitars and bass but without drums) here at music forte and here is my indie911 page.
that's it for now
take good care
