Kevin manages that. Garry Quote

Really nice groove and tone - the dexterity you have when carrying out that solo is amazing. Cheers, louisthebass Quote

I only ask because that wholetone work and dynamic play in that video had really strong overtones of both composers. Really very enjoyable to watch and as far as I'm aware, very unique as well. Quote

Yeah, I have listened to Debussy and Ravel but I’ve only really checked out their famous works (Clair de Lune La fille aux cheveux de lin, Daphnis et Chloe, Bolero, La valse, etc), which I love, but I keep meaning to check those guys out in more depth. Recently I’ve been listening to loads Olivier Messiaen's music. He’s an incredible composer, who I believe was heavily influenced by the music of Debussy. Quote

He liked to take the Rhythms certain birds made when tweeting away, and incorporate them into a piece. Interesting character and i think he was a tutor to Stockhausen somewhere. Garry Quote

Garry[/quote] Yeah, the bird stuff is wild! There’s an interesting documentary about him called ‘La Liturgie de Cristal’, he talks a lot about his interest in birdsong and how he incorporates it in his music. There’s also some footage of him out in the forest transcribing birdsongs, straight down into a little manuscript book! He must have had a serious pair of ears!!

Never thought I'd see anything like it. Very musical playing and I'll certainly keep an eye out for future videos from you. Quote

Love the solo and your tone is great. I've seen that your old Thumb has come up for sale on the boards. I loved that bass, sounded awesome with the Schack preamp in it. Almost tempted to buy it myself! Quote

When it comes to solo bass vids, for the first listen I'll usually get rid of the visual bit and only listen to the music. I find this helps me to objectively judge whether I enjoy the [i]music[/i] in its own right, without being influenced by dazzling technique. You passed with flying colours. Thanks for sharing. Quote
wombatboter Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 An old clip with the Wal Pro II I bought from Gareth...Hard to keep it going and in the end it's a bit of too much the same thing. Quote
Dubs Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 I've never posted a vid of myself playing. This thread has made me want to do something now - maybe a Jamiroquai cover...? Might get some time tomorrow evening to get the camera out. Quote
Truckstop Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Same here! Does everyone here have a camera running AND record into their computers at the same time or are the mics on cameras good enough these days? Truckstop Quote
