What’s up? I was on TV last Sunday on a show called Sunday Brunch on channel 4,
so a few weeks ago I went over to my music director and bassist Pete Daynes who holds all
of tech for my performances and shows if you’re curious about behind the scenes um and Ableton
he posts a lot on his instagram (@petedbass) so feel free to follow him he’s very excited about
everything all the time. Sunday Brunch asked us to provide a 2 minute 30 version of the song
and though I couldn’t have my band on set with me, I could have them with me virtually. So I
asked them to send in a video of them playing their parts. Me and Pete went through each
stem of the song, if you don’t know what a stem is it’s basically like a track,
like, a part like the synth, the piano, the harmonies, the drumming.
(drums) (ah sh-t)
So we just organised which parts could be played by who, so the clarinet stems into string parts
so then my job was to quickly score up those strings using a new program which is incredible,
it's just like so intuitive. It's exactly what um I think you need if you’re writing scores.
I still decided to score on midi just because I can like see and hear the notes quicker and then
export it as a xml. Opened it in staffpad drew on articulation and just switched up some of the
notes and I edited up the video of my virtual band and cried because I missed them so much
and then we put it to a click track so this is what I heard in my ears.
I actually thought it'd throw me off having Pete telling me what part is coming next but
it was really useful because playing live I’m like you know in the music deep in my
subconscious I forget what structurally I’m supposed to be doing if it isn’t the
actual song so yeah useful to have that guy barking in ear so I did
a rehearsal with that just so I could to the track its time to practice it.
it's time to practice - how gross these are - oh my god there’s fully earwax in this
Could you use a 57 to be honest?
You could use a 57 to be honest!
my stylist sent round some clothes for me to try on and obviously this one
was a winner. Winner winner chicken dinner! So yes my call time was seven am.
Waking up in the morning gotta be fresh I’ll see you in 11 hours?
Bye pete was picking me up at 6am I decided to wake up at like 20 past five but
the clocks went forward that night so I felt like I was waking up 20 past 4 oooo baby!
Good morning! Oh
We arrived at the tv studio temperature checks, masks on, all safe did my makeup so I want to
look quite fresh so I’ll do the makeup look I do every damn day with a bit more blush.
Chat to Joe Sugg - dame Kelly Holmes asked
me if she should have a shirt buttoned up or not I said no.
The performance bit was actually
pre-recorded that was the first thing that we did, we recorded that at 8 am.
I was so nervous did it in like one take decided that was enough.
I felt like my stomach was full of hot acid. I think probably a mixture of nerves and morning.
The floor manager or stage manager really liked my song his job was to make everyone like really
enthused so that everyone like applauds around so when I finished you can hear him going YEAAAAH.
That was so much I didn’t know what to do I just put my hands up
and then I had to wait a wee bit longer then it was time to go on the air.
(that waist hunty! yeah!)
Did a little interview. Spat a glob. Yeah forgot to talk about string arrangements. it's fine.
I promised the world that I would say a random word in my interview but
I forgot I just can’t do it my brain just can’t too many things at once I’m already
freaking out but luckily the stage manager was like weren’t you supposed to say a word
and I was like FAAA, so he let me say it after the adverts which is really nice.
Tv is so odd, it’s also literally the same thing it's a camera and it’s at you and you chat sht.
Why is it so much more pressure? Why is it so much more pressure? When there’s lots of people
in the room some of them are very famous ok? That makes sense. because we were done so quick
and the performance at the end was pre-recorded so they just lobbed that at the end. We got to
go home and watch the performance live so get some brunch, went back to mine and watched it.
(i kno!) (laughing)
That was that, it was really fun if you have any other tv questions, let me know because I
have no idea if this is interesting I kept racking my brains about what video to make.
Five more videos five more weeks, albums out soon. So I hope you like my dress. I love it. Okay bye
alright friends its so warm in London at the moment, I love this so much its so interesting
how much easier everything is, when its just not freezing and horrid thanks for joining me,
hope you enjoyed the toothbrush video it was really fun bye.
