Zen Virtual Piano'da Lenka tarafından hazırlanan piyano sheet'lerini keşfedin. Lenka is an Australian singer who was born Lenka Kripac in Bega, New South Wales, to an Australian mother and a Czech father. Her family moved to Sydney when Lenka was seven, and there she studied under Cate Blanchett at the Australian Theatre for Young People. As a teenager, Lenka trained at that theatre and played the role of Vesna Kapek in GP. Her screen work included the Australian movie The Dish, and she ended up presenting Cheez TV, a children's cartoon programme broadcast by the Ten Network. Her theatre training and the piano, percussion, vibraphone and glockenspiel she plays on the album Lenka may point to performance and music running side by side. Acting jobs in films and Australian television were coming her way, yet at 22 a singing part in a play convinced Lenka that she would prefer to be a musician. Decoder Ring's soundtrack to the movie Somersault won an AFI award for best original music score, and Lenka joined the Sydney electronic group in 2004. If her theatre training and her membership of Decoder Ring are set side by side, they may show performance and music both present in her story. In 2007 Lenka left for the US with her partner, the illustrator James Gulliver Hancock, hoping to make it as a solo artist. Her album Lenka, on Epic, features arrangements in which she plays piano, percussion, vibraphone and glockenspiel. SPIN calls her voice cashmere-soft and says the arrangements recall orchestral pop of the early '60s. "My biggest influences are the three B's: Burt Bacharach, the Beatles, and Björk," Lenka says. Does her mention of Burt Bacharach, beside SPIN's comparison with early '60s orchestral pop, suggest a shared reference point? SPIN says her first single, "The Show", is a Truman Show-like critique of life as a phony performance, with the chorus "I want my money back." In 2011 Lenka released her second studio album, Two, which was inspired by her engagement and is full of romantic love songs. Lenka has said that leaving her label Sony to start her own, Skipalong, and getting pregnant put her in a reflective mode, and that she felt "one chapter was closing and another was starting." Her engagement-inspired second album and her move to her own label may point to personal milestones appearing in her career story. Her acting years and a first single about life as a phony performance both touch on performance.
