Honeymooner Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Hey everyone, I hope this is the right area. This is a type of art, after all. Aside from being a big Lana fan, I am also a classical musician and arranger, and I play in a lot of string trios and quartets for wedding, parties, that sort of thing. I've arranged a lot of music over the past couple of years, including John Powell's "Kisses and Cake" and Pharrell Williams' "Happy." I also recently played for a wedding where the bride and groom had a somewhat unusual request: Lana's "Young and Beautiful" for the bridesmaids, and "Video Games" for the bride. I did the string quartet arrangements for both. I had this idea of getting a string quartet together to record several of her songs, put them on a CD, and present them to Lana if she is in concert in San Diego (or somewhere in southern California) and I can get tickets. I'm wondering if anyone out there is, perhaps, a string player in the SoCal area who would be interested in participating in a recording project? Aside from the 2 tunes above, I have completed arrangements of "Summertime Sadness" and "Blue Jeans," and am currently working on "Dark Paradise." I plan to also do "Blue Velvet" and "Once Upon a Dream" (both in Lana's style), as well as "Born To Die," "National Anthem," "American," and "Old Money." That will be a total of 11 songs (hope they all fit on one CD!). I could try to get a group of people here that I already know, but I'd rather have people who are Lana fans and know her music as well as I do. Anyone interested?? Thanks! 2 Quote
