@♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ @◈ park junhee⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ .

Ssaem, let us go next. So, Seungjoo-... sunbae? anyway - he and I - worked on a cover of the song "On the Ground" by Somi, BUT reimagined as a band concept. I think it really does the song justice and showcases a multifaceted side of DSF production. And really shows how good the song could be in talented hands. Seungjoo worked on rearrangement, and production, and recording, and I... gave constructive feedback.
//nods confidently and plays the pre-recording/
It can be posted as a cover by Royal Flush, I believe - i can also give constructive criticism on the video aesthetic too, if needed!

@◈ park junhee⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ *a little saddened by Eunbi's rejection to work together, i decide to rip the band aid*
Let me go first, sir.
So, i worked on Jessica-sunbaenim's last released song - Lilac - and i added a rap to it, i hope you think it fits well.

[video https://youtu.be/GOpiKgVxEIk but i don't think it should be posted to the channel, since it's a stage? maybe after it's performed?]

@✵ jung wooyoung⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ @♤ lee jooyeon ʲᵘⁿᵉ @♊︎ felix lee @☾ song yuqi @☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ @☾ hwang yeji @☾ hwang eunbi ʰʷᵃⁿᵍᵇᶦ @☼ hwang hyunjin /after walking back and forth amongst the trainees and idols, most people seemed to be doing rather well and he was quite impressed with some of the works he'd been shown. he was sure some of them could certainly have a future in production if they later decided to choose that path, but even as idols, it would still be an amazing skill to have. as the final hour for which he'd booked the studio was finally approaching, he finally heads back to the center of the room to call everyone's attention./

So, guys! I can see that some of you have managed to get through it rather smoothly, others were struggling a little at first but overall, everyone seems to be doing rather well and looking happy with how it is working out. From the tidbits I've gotten to hear, they're sounding incredibly promising and I think you should be rather proud. As I mentioned at the start of the lesson, we'd take the last hour to give the songs a listen so that we can share opinions and tips with each other.

/with that he moves to connect the computer to the sound system before turning it on, continuing to speak as he prepares everything for the showcase of the songs/
I know we had limited time and I'm sure most people haven't managed to finish the whole thing, but that's alright, we'll listen to what you have so far and you can always finish it later on if you wish. No need to be shy, no one's here to judge you and we'll only be taking constructive criticism so watch your words. Anyone wanna start?

(sry for the masstag again and sry i disappeared, thank you for joining tho <3 and lets just wrap it up shortly now! no need for a fancy reply or anything if u dont wanna, just share the song you worked on so it can be added to the DSF channel ^^)
☼ hwang hyunjin [A] 6 months ago
*it was embarrassing... but Hyunjin had fallen asleep in the back of the room where he'd set up. When he came to, sleeping eyes taking in the light chatter around them, he was as confused as ever*
*he latches on to the first familiar thing, finding Wooyoung, and dragging himself up with a yawn to sit next to him*
Hey, what did I miss?
☾ song yuqi [A] 6 months ago
*it takes everything Yuqi has in her to not start laughing nervously right back at Felix as he stutters through broken English. That had been her but a few months ago, so she couldn't blame him. The accent is thick on his syllables, and she hides her adoring grin behind two obvious hands, elbows coming to lean on the desk as she stretches across eagerly as far she can reach* You're so frickin' cute!
Oh my GOD! Yes, you can join us! *she's climbing over the desk, a sneaker sticking in the space between the back of the chair and the arm connecting it to the base. Her hands grip the desk for balance as she tugs at it, needing a few yanks before it comes tearing out and she flies over the desk*
*she's a mess of hair and limbs as she catches her balance at the last second to stand in front of Felix* Come, sit with us
*and she grabs his hand to pull him around the line of desks and to her girls, waving at them to shuffle into her seat so she can sit in Hwangbi's and have Felix sit next to her*
*all settled in, she pops her chin on her palm, and bats eyelashes at Felix* Tell me more about this song
♤ lee jooyeon ʲᵘⁿᵉ [A] 6 months ago
*Jooyeon had been fumbling with a blue pen in his hands, dancing it around his knuckles, with the cap occasionally knocking the wooden desk and interrupting his string of thoughts. While his thoughts should be geared to the project he had spent the past week preparing since the announcement had been made for the class, his eyes kept darting to the back of Loren and Wooyoung's head, wondering what they discussed. He could just... Get up and sit with them. But his feet stayed cemented to the floor. C'mon Jooyeon, he tried again... Nope.*
*he simply stared, fixated and paralyzed*
☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ [A] 6 months ago

//inhales some confidence in myself as the teacher approaches, crossing a leg over the other and opening my notebook to the desired page/
Well, it's a song that was initially released by TOP-oppa, but its so beautiful that I've been obsessed with it, and i have been working on a way to make it fit for a female tone, which means a little bit of rearranging. I've had some challenges, and hope you could give a hand. The song is called "Flower Road", I don't know if you've heard the original, I can search it up if you want? And i recorded myself briefly, but it still has a long work to go. Here...
//plays the recording over the tablet i also brought, the sound not as clear as it would be in a studio, but hopefully enough to convey the vibe I'm looking for/

[https://youtu.be/XrkjVRRkk00 pretend this is not the show recording xD]
♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ 6 months ago
@✵ jung wooyoung⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ /the only response that I offer to the teasing comment is a questioning raise of my brow, though it is accompanied of an amused grin/
Do share
/I let out simply as I lean back a little onto the sit, eyes peeking down at the notebook as you explain. it is soon followed by a pleased hum of agreement/
Doesn't sound half bad? Sounds like my type of gig. What you thinking? Some electric guitar? Drums?
◈ park junhee⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ 6 months ago
/as soon as they are urged on to work on their projects and the creative juices start flowing, there is immediately a soft murmur that spreads throughout the room as people disperse to find partners, get opinions or excitedly boast about their own ideas. before he gets too comfortable though, Solar's voice and gestura snap his attention back to her and he nods in acknowledgment before approaching her/
Sure, of course!
/responds almost immediately, excited to hear about it/
What's the song?
♊︎ felix lee ᴸᴵˣ 6 months ago
it's... just... because...
*stutters out in between blinking rapidly, hoping i don't cry before getting my point across*
it's because i wanted to try sort of... a female song? if noona is okay to... try... no uh... to help with it? Help /me/, i mean. And... but... if you think it's pointless, then... But i think it would be pretty cool though! Working with you, noona.. I mean, would be so cool to me.
*chews on my lip, hoping i managed to get it across as best i could with all the verbal crutches i use, such as "so", "then", "i think", etc, etc*
☾ hwang eunbi ʰʷᵃⁿᵍᵇᶦ 6 months ago
/looks over her shoulders to notice yuqi already awakening from her zone-out and giggles at the sight of her older teammate/ look at yuqi unnie. she's adorable. and also... i still haven't figure out which one to use. /looks at chaeyeon for a lil help before hearing the male voice mentioning her name to which she turns to the male and squints slightly/ huh felix. i was wondering why must we have to work together simply because it's a rap part? your voice will be mostly heard with your lowest bass tone and pretty heavy anyways so it could be pointless.
♊︎ felix lee ᴸᴵˣ 6 months ago
*approaches the huddle of three ladies somewhat nervously, twisting my ruffled notebook in my hands, making it thin out even more at the edges*
Erm, hello! I'm Felix
*silently facepalms myself because you already introduced yourself, stupid, but still inhales and goes on, turning more to Hwangbi with big hopeful eyes*
Erm. I was thinkin'... I have something in mind to work on and... I was thinkin'... if noona would like to work together? Since it's a rap part?
☾ song yuqi [A] 6 months ago
*She'd entirely zoned out for the past 15 minutes, enraptured in a vision of her going to the park and sharing ice cream with Junhee as they had the world's most perfect date. They'd take selfies together and maybe go to some weird, aimal themed cafe together to live out their true kdrama romance...* Huh? *she blinks to her group members, darting her gaze between Chaeyeon and Eunbi* Can unnie join your team~? *she pleads in a sing-song voice to their maknae, rubbing shoulders with her*
☾ hwang yeji 6 months ago
A grin made its way to her face when she heard Hwangbi, nodding. "Yeah, oh that sounds good too. Did you have something in mind for it? I mean I remember us filming for really really." She showed her her phone, scrolling through the list of songs until she found Inside out first.
☾ hwang eunbi ʰʷᵃⁿᵍᵇᶦ 6 months ago
clambering to sit next to Solar, she looked lost having come in after the first part of the lesson and decided to just go with the flow, her focus moving from one speaker to another and realized she hadn't had a song in mind. during the whole block of thinking what song it would be, her attention got snapped back to her fellow mate. "What song, chaeyeon unnie? Savage...? it'd be cool if we do inside out or really really."
☾ hwang yeji 6 months ago
She let out a soft clap hearing Yongsun saying she already had something in mind. Their leader really was the best. Chaeyeon nodded to herself before humming in thought, bringing out her phone, looking through songs both released by DIA and Janus, hoping some kind of inspiration came to her until her eyes landed on their latest release, Savage. "Maybe Janus can perform this..." She muttered softly to herself.
☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ [A] 6 months ago
//raises a hand, while sitting comfortably between my own group members, feeling much calmer when they are there/
Actually, ssaem.
When you sent the email for this class, I already had something in mind. Something I've been poking for a while, could I maybe present it to you, i think it fits the class designation.
☼ jung wooyoung [A] 6 months ago
@♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ Yeah, you, later today.
//grins obnoxiously, with a wiggle of my brows, but still takes out a notebook/
Actually, i know exactly what i wanna do, but i have neither the knowledge nor the skills to do it. Was hoping you would help.
I want to do Somi's On The Ground, but a MUCH better version of it - a more rock vibe, with a live band and all, to show the people how much better it could be had she not been bleh with it.
What do you think?
◈ park junhee⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ 6 months ago
/the producer allows the trainees and idols to disperse through the room, some of them immediately teaming up into duos, while most waste no time in getting started/
Alright, let me know if you have any questions of if there's anything I can help with
/he notifies as he watches them focusing on their newly assigned projects, moving back onto the comfortable studio chair in front of his personal laptop before facing the group again as he remembers something else/
Also, do let me know once you have your song picked so I can look into them!
♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ 6 months ago
/snorts quietly at the comment I should've been expecting dodging your elbow a little late but still bringing my own arm down to protect myself from further poking/
Of course it is- Will have to agree with you there
/agrees refering to both the original meaning as well as the extra implied one. as we are directed into our own work I turn a little in my chair to face you/
Any idea about what you're gonna do yet?
☼ jung wooyoung [A] 6 months ago
//perks up at the prospect of dropping theory and going into practice, always a much better study while neck deep, even if it was something i had no idea in, i'd rather thread to unknown molasses, than to snooze through a lesson on the subject/
Maybe hands-on is better, ssaem? If you ask me - it's *always* better.
//elbows Sungjoo in the ribs/
◈ park junhee⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ 6 months ago
Exactly!
/he responds brightly as two examples are mentioned, pointing out towards DIA's leader with a confident nod as he quotes de girl's words/
"Gave it a new life", that is precisely the point we're trying to get at! When you remake a song you're trying to pick up this existing song, in this case, Gogobebe or Bang Bang Bang, and transform it into something that reflects another artist's style.
/Jun paces around the room a little, hands gesturing abstractedly as he explains/
So if that makes sense to everyone, the point of this workshop would be for each of you to pick up a song, any song of your choice, and remake it. It can be something as simple as altering the instrumental or adding an extra part for a dance break or a rap. I won't be setting up many rules so that you can fully exploit your creative freedom, just make it individually or in duos so that we can get a few different projects.
/listening to a few other questions from the students he then further expands on it/
You can turn it into something you would perform yourself, but it's not mandatory. You can also remake it into something for someone else to perform, as long as it's something you created yourself. As someone else asked too, the song is all up to you, can be a Korean song or any other international song, you can use DSF's releases or your own original, but you'll need to present us the original song in comparison to the remake you worked on.

Now, any other questions before we get hands-on with it?
☾ song yuqi [A] 6 months ago
What they said *Yuqi points with two hands to Solar and Hwangbi in turn, offering her best, academic student smile to pawn off the glory of their success onto her* We've done some pretty cool things with songs
☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ [A] 6 months ago
//spots a crawling eunbi by the door from the corner of my eye and cant contain my smile, but i only inch slightly to make space for her to crawl in inconspicuously and sit near, before peeping in after Loren/
Yep, that was a great rendition we did with the instrumental, it gave the song a whole new life I think.
We've also covered Bang Bang Bang on the tour, if that counts?
♤ lee jooyeon ʲᵘⁿᵉ [A] 6 months ago
*Jooyeon spots his leader easily when he walks in, perking up to wave him over only to quickly realize he's heading for a different person. His hand lowers, cheeks reddening instantly while thoughts of disappearing interrupt his earlier excitement* *hopefully no one saw that, he thinks to himself*
♤ lee seungjoo ˡᵒʳᵉⁿ 6 months ago
/instinctively pulls myself away a little as I feel the light sting against my skin, using my elbow to playfully push at Wooyoung's side with a little smile before lifting my hand a little to get the coach's attention before speaking up/
We added instruments to DIA's Gogobebe for a 'rock version' for their new EP
/I suggest in response to the question, offering a small shrug of my shoulders/
☾ hwang eunbi ʰʷᵃⁿᵍᵇᶦ 6 months ago
*she's already a mess both in the head and physically wise as her hair seem unkempt and her face clearly looking like she woke up 5 mins ago. she did brushed her teeth and had her morning shower so quick she could be counted as sonic the hedgehog before hailing down a cab to rush to the company building. from there, she sprinted towards the recording studio and just a short distance away she knew she heard voices. with a disgruntled groan, she got on her fours and stayed as low as she could before reaching up for the door handle, pulling down on it and really slowly pushed it ajar wide enough for her to slip in.* oh fuuuuyooooh, it's started.
☼ jung wooyoung [A] 6 months ago
//twitches in my spot, knowing very well one possible answer to that question, simply because i was a backdancer for one such performance, but doesn't speak up, because i was honestly just as lost as Blondie was on the "sample" talk; choosing to instead pinch Seungjoo for being late and stressing me out/
◈ park junhee⁻ᵖʳᵒᵈᵘᶜᵉʳ 6 months ago
Yuqi, right?
/he questions, finger immediately pointing out towards the girl as he waits for her to confirm/
Forget the samples for now. Can you remember any of DIA's songs that Janus has performed their own version of? Or the other way around?
☾ song yuqi [A] 6 months ago
*Yuqi's head tilts further and further to the side as Junhee speaks, her eyes crossing as she tries to follow along* *her head eventually hits Yongsun's shoulder, bouncing her back upright with a start* I am so lost *she whispers to her friend*
