This all started because I wanted to test the audio interface feature on my Zoom H2. I recorded the video using the video camera on my mac and recorded the audio (using the Zoom H2) directly into Audacity. To elongate the e minor chord I used Max/MSP, specifically the Sogs~ object.
Sogs~ doesn’t come with Max but you can get it from the Ircam website. You can download it (along with a couple other useful objects) for about $40. I am willing to pay the money because I use it all the time. Here is a screenshot of the sogs~ help file that I used in this video (click on the image to see a larger version):
For the next step I used the free program, Spear, to add a few artifacts to the “suspended” e minor chord. Here is a screenshot of Spear (again, click to see a larger version):
Finally, I combined the audio and video using Final Cut Pro.
I’ve started a new series of pieces called, Musical Musings. These will be brief, sometimes experimental pieces. This first one took about 10 minutes to write. I had the idea that the last part of the piece will be the first part, played backwards.
If there is a score (this one does not), I will post it on my blog.
I hope you stop by from time to time and check them out.
This is my latest from my Year of the Guitar series. This, like Alleluia! Alleluia!, was hard for me to play. It took me about a week to get it down well enough to make this recording.
Here is my latest hymn arrangement, Alleluia! Alleluia! I am not going to lie, this was a hard arrangement for me to play. Whenever I make an arrangement I always make it as easy as possible without dumbing it down. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to play it well enough to get a decent recording.
