"Somewhere Over the Rainbow" - Collage

We had such a fun time recording our next music video! More details to come, after the contest has closed.

In the meantime, here's a teaser collage :)

Vocal Track - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Busy day! We're excited about the pre-screening party tomorrow. :)

...And, we're getting ready for another contest! We recorded the vocal track for "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" tonight. It turned out really well. We're planning to shoot the music video next week. We'll be sure to post the final product next month!

Epic Adventure: The Big Reveal

We're having an incredible weekend filming "Lament of the Highborne"!!! It's a song from Blizzard's World of Warcraft online game. We recorded the song last March and have spent months preparing to shoot the music video.

Here's the story behind Natalie's character, Sylvanas Windrunner. It's quite sad. Her eldest sister, Alleria Windrunner, is played by Tanya; youngest sister Vereesa Windrunner is played by Tiffany. We made our own interpretation of the story and added the Mother Windrunner character, played by Christina.

Here's the link to the original song/video by Blizzard: Lament of the Highborne

We've got an amazing group of people here at the Cabin: Mom and Dad, Keith and Christina (and their 4 children), Tanya, Tiffany, Natalie, Samuel Gale-Hess (our sweet cousin), Michael Coones (our friend and awesome videographer/producer), Tiffanie and Alvaro Zilleruelo (Tiffanie is doing a fantastic job with our hair and makeup), and Doug (who made Natalie's stunning bow).

We plan to submit our music video to Blizzard (the company behind World of Warcraft). Wahoo!

Here are a few teasers of our favorite shots from this weekend. We'll post more next week.

Recording "Lament of the Highborne", from World of Warcraft

Those of you who know our family, know that we're kind of nerdy. A lot of time we spend our nights together playing World of Warcraft (WoW), an online computer role-playing game. We love the haunting "Lament of the Highborne" song from WoW and thought it would be amazing to record it.

We bought the sheet music, arranged the parts, and recorded it with the help of our friend, the talented Sylvia Muhlstein, on St. Patrick's Day. John Sergeant did an incredible job accompanying us.

John Sergeant, Tanya Gale, Tiffany Gale, Natalie Gale, Michelle Bate, Tamara Gale McKay, Christina Gale Borrowman, and Sylvia Muhlestein:

 Natalie did a wonderful job with the main part (Sylvanas); the rest of us had fun as the chorus (banshees):

Looking forward to the final recording!

America's Got Talent - Thanksgiving Day Performance

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful lunch with family and relatives at Sweet's Island Restaurant. Afterward, we performed the songs we've been working on for AGT.

On-stage at Sweet's; exciting times!

America's Got Talent - 1st Rehearsal

Today we started practicing for AGT. Wahoo!
Tamara lives in Idaho with her husband, so we'll be emailing her the music to practice on her own until she's able to drive here to Utah and practice with the rest of us. :)

Recording "Consider the Lilies" at the Hoffman House

Today we recorded,"Consider the Lilies". It's a beautiful song with incredible lyrics. It was written by Roger Hoffman and we had the privilege of recording it in his studio. Our awesome pianist John Sergeant arranged it into 5 parts for us and accompanied us for the recording.

A huge thank you to Roger for your amazing song and the experience of recording with you again. And another huge thank you to John for your hard work and happy countenance during long recordings.

Recording "One Voice"

We recorded "One Voice" today at a small studio in Provo. It's one of our Dad's favorite songs. Hopefully it turns out well.

Recording "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

Today we recorded "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to send to America's Got Talent. One of our goals is to sing so well that we make our Mom cry with joy.

We made Mom cry, so we're happy with how it turned out. :)

AGT Adventure - Traveling to LA

Today we left Utah and traveled 12 hours to Los Angeles, California. Dad packed up the van in Orem and Mom and most of the sisters got everything ready to go. Christina helped Keith get their kids ready for Church and waited for everyone else to arrive in Provo. 

We said tearful goodbyes to our families and left just after noon. It was a very long drive but we enjoyed talking and singing together. Christina and Tanya took turns driving the minivan.

We stopped several times along the way to: eat a picnic lunch at a park, fill up Mom’s ice cooler to keep her knee nice and cold, eat at Tami’s favorite “Jack in the Box”, fill the van up with gas, and of course, the obligatory bathroom breaks.We were all very glad to arrive at our hotel safely on Sunday night!

Poor Tanya; her fruit snacks melted:

Natalie, Tamara, and Tiffany practicing either dance moves or karate. Maybe?

"One World" CD Cover is Done

Tomorrow we leave for Los Angeles! We're taking our "One World" recording to give to the judges and finished the CD cover just in time:

Behind the Scenes of "One World"

We thought you might like to see a few "behind the scenes" pics from "One World".

Cheese!

We got pretty cold between takes!

Music Video Recording of "One World"

A cold, wet, wonderful day.

We recorded our very first music video!!! The song is, "One World". We made our own costumes and think they reflect the light, ethereal, celtic image we were going for.

We enjoyed working with our awesome videographer, Michael Burton. He was very patient with us and worked hard to get some great shots, even after falling through the frozen lake!

Our favorite part of the experience was being together as sisters and doing something we love.

Our Recording of "One World" is Done!

This afternoon we picked up the Track for "One World". It's quite pretty! Here's a link to listen to it: GaleSong One World

Thanks Muse Music for all of your help and fast work getting it edited for us:

Recording the Music Track for "One World"

Tiffany bought the sheet music for "One World", arranged our parts, and emailed each of us with our part this past Sunday. She's going to school at BYU-Idaho, so she made the 4-hour drive to Utah yesterday so we could rehearse together for the first time.

Today we recorded the music track! Our awesome friend John Sergeant accompanied us.

For those of you doing the math, yep, we had 4 days to learn the song, 1 day of practicing together, and then we recorded it! Haha! Tiffany arranged it, sang it with us, and also played her cello for the recording. THAT is talent, folks.

We leave to pick up the finished recording in a few hours; can't wait to hear how it sounds!

Creating GaleSong

Earlier this month, Mom was reading the news and came across an NBC page that talked about the “America’s Got Talent” auditions. She thought about us and wondered if we might be interested in trying out for something like this. We all agreed that it would be a wonderful opportunity for us to improve our singing and have fun spending time together as sisters.

We had our first official meeting today to decide: our goals, our dreams, which roles each of us would play in our group, the name of our group, which song we should record first, and what to do about costuming.

Originally, we wanted our group name to be “NightinGales” because it’s a play on our last name (Gale) and the songbird that sings at night (we love to stay up late!) We quickly discovered, however, that there was already a group with the name we liked so we decided on “GaleSong”; still a play on our last name, and the fact that we like music. 

A few of our costume ideas:
