Playing outside the usual genre

Post by PianoManChuck »

So I figured I'd go into Combi mode and start looking for something that'll inspire me. Didn't take very long to find Int A-001 Smooth Jazzmitazz (EP-1). I'm no jazz player, never was - just not my thing... but this Combi sure brought out something in me that had me playing for over 20 minutes! I had the cameras rolling the whole time 'just in case'. So here's what happened to come out of me when I played a genre completely out of the realm of my normal playing:

Length was cut down to about 10 minutes. What an amazing instrument to be able to bring out something in musicians that they never knew they had! Of course, being in a more relaxed state than usual sort of helps too :wink:

Forgive me for only watching and listening to the for few bits but I don't want to wake my sleeping wife. Tres bad, waking your sleeping wife.

One quick question though, how many cameras do you have in your studio?

BTW. what I did hear, I liked!

Three cameras were used for this video. I usually start them all up, fire up the DAW, and start playing. If anything is usable after I finish playing, I go from there, otherwise nothing gets saved.
Thanks for listening!!

Cool. are they good camera's ? I really don't know much about doing video at all and I'm really thinking that I need to learn. My wife is an artist. She paints and likes to paint landscapes so we bought a Nikon D3100. We want to get better lens but all in time.
