Hi Brian,

Love this song! Those little counter-melodies (using 'strings') sound really great with the melody line. Nice bit of multitracking! And I do like the 'vibrato strings' playing the melody in the second part of the song. Makes it!

Hugh

Brian,

Another I found of yours. Just loved how you played this one! You entered it for the January 2021 Challenge (so that goes back a bit!) so have COPIED this one over as well.

Hugh

Brian,

You entered this for the January 2024 Challenge .. but this is exactly what we are wanting for this new section .. so I have COPIED your video over.

The Music with Movies board is specifically for 'scenic' movies (ie. photographs or videos of scenery) with musical accompaniment played by a Member . This new board is for videos where you can watch the player 'playing' .. so you can see what buttons they press; or videos that show how the keyboard...

This is how it used to be done. None of this grabbing 'samples' and putting them in to create the backing.
The music was full of harmony, with interesting chord progressions that one just wanted to hear over and over again.

Why is modern music so bad? a2mdlxbuXz0 Some comments from under the video: I'm 17, and personally, I don't understand today's pop music, there is no movement, boring choruses and the idea of bridges or instrumental solos is practically extinct. Personally I love those older rock bands that really ...

Ken,

An amazing clash of sounds! I think "inharmonious" is the word for it.

From the Cambridge Dictionary:

Inharmonious - adjective (MUSIC)
Making an unpleasant musical sound, or not making a pleasant harmony: The loud inharmonious wailing continued for hours.

Hugh

Den,

That is simply glorious! Thank you for showing us how to do that.

I was saying that a 'weepie' or 'tear jerker' is either that because it has words that tell a really sad story .. Foster & Allen - Nobody's Child QN1NN_3Q_WU Or because the music itself sounds sad. How about this one, which I have just found on YouTube: Saddest Song Ever, Barber's Adagio, Theme ...

Den .. that's cray! The drums are definitely on the RIGHT ! I am wearing Sennheiser headphones that come complete with a stereo jack plug (ie. I haven't wired it up myself). When I plug my headphones into my Tyros 4 and 'pan' to the left, the sound comes out of my LEFT earpiece. Also, when you watch...

Oh dear! For daylight saving time (ie. British Summer Time) they should have moved the stones FORWARD one hour .. not BACK one hour. They'll have to come back and do it again.

I have come across a YouTube video (an old one!) which really shows how STEREO can be used effectively to enhance the music you are listening to. And this has nothing to do with 'positioning instruments on the stage'. If you listen carefully you can hear the drums coming in on the right; the bass si...

There are times where using Audacity to speed up a recording just does not work. Take a listen to this: 1795259942497532 This is being played at 90bpm . Now listen to this ..

Dave, Liked your version! You managed to get the clock to STOP too! In answer to your question: Arizona doesn't do that time change thing. For those that do, what's the future like?

An 'early' Easter this year! Church services; children at home from school; many of us going on holiday. And we have put our clocks forward one hour for the start of British Summer Time. From this point on we get the lighter evenings. The Challenge for April is to play anything (even loosely) that r...

Den has pointed out to me that there is no need to use Audacity to do this as you can adjust the TEMPO on the keyboard itself. Well yes, you can .. but not if you have recorded as AUDIO. Den is talking about recording as MIDI .. then when you play the MIDI across and record as AUDIO you can set the ...

How to Increase/Decrease the TEMPO of an MP3 using Audacity. I remember once going to listen to a keyboard acquaintance of mine playing at a local pub. He said to me that a lot of players play their pieces much too fast .. almost as if they are in a rush to finish and get home! So he made sure he k...

In this recording, it took me quite a while to actually start playing after pressing the RECORD button. Have a listen to the below. Hang in there!

Bobbo, I have always liked the way you have played this piece! Ron: As a Bass player I'm sure you will appreciate the bass the keyboard player is playing. Comment from under the video: That walking bass played by the keyboardist, is AMAZING. And another comment, underneath: Absolutely. His comping a...

How many times have you made a recording as an MP3, and then some time later wished you'd had the 'balance' set up differently when you had done the original recording? All is not lost, as you can change the amount of Bass and Treble afterwards using Audacity ie. there is a 'Tone Control' you can ap...

Ken, Have done some research on this, and hope this is the song you were asking us about. Myfanwy (a woman's name derived from annwyl, beloved) is a popular Welsh song, composed by Joseph Parry and first published in 1875. Parry wrote the music to lyrics written by Richard Davies ('Mynyddog'; 1833-7...

Ken ... The Floral Clock was built in 1935. It was just amazing! That was why you remember it. https://www.ar-group.org/Files/FloralClock1.jpg This is what happened to it. https://www.ar-group.org/Files/FloralClock2.jpg And now .. back to being restored to it's original glory. https://www.ar-group.o...

Entertainment expectations have changed over the years too. Whatever the weather you can spend time in this entertainment venue and keep everyone happy.

John, No trouble loading your piece (both your LINKS are the same, so clicking on either will load it). I am fascinated by your comment: The song is in 4/4 time but the chorus is a waltz. Most people just know the chorus. I'll Be Your Sweetheart is a 1945 British historical musical film directed by ...

That's the one! My wife and I went to see this done locally. Annie was the star of the show!

Don't reckon this was ever done as a 'show' .. but it was a film, with music by Edvard Grieg.
