m3838 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 recorded in the local prison cell (no not really Solid playing! Great instrument too! (been a nasty person or grumpy origin, I'd like to suggest more lively demeanor during playing. I'd suggest looking straight into the camera, smile a bit, or just making faces, reflecting the emotion of the music. And that hair! What's wrong with men today? Where's that clean cut of the 50es? And the attire! Where's the smoking, slackers? At least some nice manly looking leather jacket for $400.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatFace Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I'd like to suggest more lively demeanor during playing. I reckoned that the less I moved the more YouTube could compress the video and thus leave more bandwidth for the audio - I did it for you!! Actually videoing and recording your own playing is really interesting, because I find I am so thoroughly absorbed in playing/listening I haven't a clue what else is going on. At least with the concertina I look pretty relaxed, if rather introverted (which isn't a bad description of me anyway . With the cello I look really tense when I play - it's much harder!! I'm always amazed when I see people play and they look totally relaxed and open - I get the impression they "work" in a completely different way to me.

RatFace Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 The URL for Juliette's Greensleeves recording is incorrect on the recorded tune link page - it should be http://www.anglo-concertina.net/guests/jul...reensleeves.mp3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatFace Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I added two recordings to my web page - they are of a tune called One Too Many by Ian Bell. The notes can be found here. The recording comes in two easy to ingest flavours: normal: 3 tracks: concertina just playing the tune, and a double dose of cello. slow: 2 tracks: concertina playing tune + harmony, and cello playing bass. Hope it doesn't give you hiccups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Barnert Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Nice playing (and arranging). The notes can be found here.Wow. People still write music on staff paper with pencil?! Reminds me of when I was in college! You need software (and there are many choices) that will make the writing/editing easier, play it back for you so you can hear where problems are, and produce high quality printed (or screen) output. FWIW, on my Macintosh I use Barfly for all of this. Example: et cetera... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RatFace Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 People still write music on staff paper with pencil?! Sometimes, when I run out of staff paper, I even draw my own (given that I haven't run out of blank paper too) At the time I didn't have access to the internet at home (resulting in me generally getting a lot more done... hmmm...). Now I do and for various things I've used Lilypond, which is very good + fast when you get used to it. However, for the first iteration, sitting at my kitchen table with paper, pencil and concertina is still my favoured route... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart estell Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) Nice playing (and arranging).The notes can be found here.Wow. People still write music on staff paper with pencil?! No, I use a fountain pen I still think much better on paper - I haven't adjusted to computers as a tool for creativity as far as music's concerned at all. I can (and do) use Sibelius for producing more readable arrangements but tend to have things sorted out in my head or on paper before I start fire it up.

Roughcollie Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I am a newbie on this site so please forgive if I am teaching any one to suck eggs. For recording to your computer,I don't think you can beat Audacity and to encode to MP3,try "Free MP3 Converter\MP3 encoder.exe".Both these programmes are free.

stuart estell Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Here's a new one from us - the St Kilda Song. I'm playing dulcimer in it - Ian Nutt is on concertina (a Hohner/Stagi 30 key C/G).

Henk van Aalten Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Just to let you know that I updated the links page. Unfortunately I've found some broken links. I'm contacting the owners of the sound-files to find out what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henk van Aalten Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) is a video of me playing Rosline Castle. As you might guess (or, if you've ever seen me play, know!), there isn't much action there, but I hope it's a little bit interesting, and maybe some other people will upload something! From the moment I saw/heard this tune, I was completely catched by the tune and the way you play it Danny. So I learned this tune on my Anglo, just using adjacent buttons for harmonies/chords and as soon as I mastered it, I did not listen anymore to your version, because it's another (better) player on another instrument. As a result it became quite different.. But... I played this tune at some sessions and I was completely surprised by the effect of the tune on the audiance. Very soon after starting the tune, the talking and the rumour stops and the crowded pub is completely silent. It gives you wings, but makes you nervous at the same time... No one of the other musicians is playing with you and everyone is listening.. At the end however there is much appreciation and people ask about the tune etc. So, I made this simple recording, using a notebook, a 5$ microphone and audacity without further editing. I played it in a small hall on my Wakker WA-1 30b C/G. So Danny.. thanks for sharing Roslyn Castle!

David Barnert Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I had the same reaction and also adapted Danny's arrangement to my own instrument, in my case a Hayden Duet. I play pretty much the same notes Danny does except for one harmony I changed in the cadence. Of course, after I copied down exactly what he played and learned it note for note, Danny posted his accoustics test sound files and I relized he probably never plays it the same way twice.

lildogturpy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Now back in wintry Montreal and the local sessions here after my extended trip to Glasgow - which was blast by the way. Played a set of reels at the session a couple of nights ago and the recording came out quite well, except for the obligatory fluffs here and there so I've asked for it to be added to the recorded links page (thanks Henk!). Set was played on a 48key Wheatstone Aeola and has four tunes. Millbrae Unknown Conlon's Reel Vladimir's Steamboat by the way, if anyone recognizes the second tune I'd be interested in the title.

m3838 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Now I've made some Video compilation of my playing Baritone Jack Concertina. May be it'll be useful for those, who want to test Jack before bying. Not only you can hear it, played by a beginner, but also see it, been played. 3 pieces in a row. http://www.mediamax.com/mberenstein/Hosted...sting%20003.wmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
