[miguelbass]

@galingit that's sad news... my sincere feelings :(( RIP

[HeyItsRez]

You look a little bit like the guy from el ten eleven

[MsVanhellig]

Стига сте мрънкали на кой е обработка песента на Кюркчийски или на някой друг все си е народна!!

[Dosdas]

Either way just wonderful Miguel, you're doing what all musicians want to do and playing for those of us who can no longer physically play well enough to perform like this. Thanks for your efforts, I hope you get all the gigs you want and need!

[miguelbass]

@Dosdas thank you very much my friend.

[Firewalkerbg]

Well done, but you have to give credit to the real author of this adaptation. It's not a song of the Mystery, it's an adaptation by Krasimir Kyurkchiyski. It has been performed by the Mystery and also by Philip Koutev choir.

[miguelbass]

@Firewalkerbg indeed, this is made from the Kyurkchiyski arrangement, as I wrote on the video's description. thank you very much!

[Firewalkerbg]

@miguelbass No, I thank you for the great video :)

[TheSanziniBrothers]

very well done, great idea and excellent realisation, my compliments!

[3AXAP]

Sexy !

[miguelbass]

@3AXAP силно :))

[MiAmMiJah]

MASSIVE RESPECT, Miguel!

I love the Mystère-version to pieces, and i never imagined it could be done any other way... But you did! And quite wonderful as well.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing. You made my day!

[miguelbass]

@MiAmMiJah Than you very much! Greetings from Portugal.

[Aspartamebraintumor]

breakthrough shit

[miguelbass]

Thanks :)

[bonsomei]

That cant be true! :)

What elegance, what a deep feeling.

Thats the first time I've heard something like it.

I recognize perfectly the song! What a performance.

Congratulations for your perseverance and your courage to do it your way, and I thank you for that, Because If you hadnt done that way, I might never have had the privilege to hear something as incredibly beautiful as your interpretation.

Thank you from all Bulgarians!

[miguelbass]

Thank you very much my friend. My initial reply seems to have been lost somewhere. Hope you've had a nice holiday :))

[nitsanitsa]

Bravo!

[miguelbass]

Много благодаря!

[EquinoxstudiosBG]

Everyone I've shown this too is completely blown away. I especially like your non-electric "guest" which wins for me every time and gives that bottom-end swell that works so well. You are a bit wierd of course, but brilliant wierd! ;-)

[miguelbass]

That's interesting, many people who are not familiar with Bulgarian music that I showed the video think it sounds really strange. I guess for people who do know the song and are familiar with Bulgarian music it must sound also... different ;) Thank you very much my friend!

[FrankBond0077]

this is an amazing video and "contrappunto-job"... great !

[miguelbass]

Grazie, Frank!

[gobassgo1]

great and it must be hard to mix !

what software do you use for splitting the videos ?

how did you record ?

[GiI11]

Brilliant as always.

[miguelbass]

Thanks Gil!

[iiBrandi]

wOw wOw wOw, Brandi likes!!!

[miguelbass]

Miguel thanksssssssss :)

[Tama12pc]

WOW.... 4/4 followed by 9/16 I believe.. being a "Rush" fan, I can really apreciate the odd time signature. Brilliant Miguel, as always.

[miguelbass]

Really I had trouble detecting the time signatures because there are lots of suspensions so the beat it's not continuous. Thanks Josh!

[Dukered21]

Quite a bass collection you have: 4001CS, Fender Jazz, "de-fretted" Fender Jazz ", Warwick Thumb 5, Zon Sonus Eight, Fender VI and if I recall correct a Fender P in addition to the Contra bass, and who knows what else you have in you room!! :-)

[Dukered21]

By the way the Zon 8 string have amazing deep growling sound, is it the same bass as on New Pictures? On New Pictures the sound is much brighter, but I guess it is mostly due to the fact you play mostly on the G -D strings there. but towards the end of New Pictures you climb to the E - A stings, and then I can hear some of the deep sounds you have here. But do you add some distortion/overdrive here to the Zon?

[miguelbass]

The New Pictures sound was totally clean. That way the Zon has an almost acoustic quality. For this piece I plugged it to the Sansamp, thus the dirtier growl. You can really trust your ears!!

[Dukered21]

Well Miguel, good to know my ear is kind of in tune! I'm not an educated maestro as you in music, so I can only guess such things :) It is not only the Levin part of KC which remind me of your playing here on the Contra bass, but also the combination of Wetton and David Cross, thus strange time signatures of bass, violin, well, and Fripps guitar and synth as well. Any way great "KC" tune, need only Bruford on the drums!

[miguelbass]

Most of my friends who really are not used to odd-time meter (whether it's rock or folk) really found this one rather strange. But somehow end up liking it. The harmonies and rhythms really can fool your brain :)) by the way this is a standard 4/4 followed by a 9/16. Peanuts - if you are Bulgarian :)))))

[julyvalls]

very nice! congratulation

[miguelbass]

Gracias Julian, um abraço.

[MysteryClown000]

good music

[miguelbass]

Thank you my friend!

[Aneliavelar]

I cannot believe how could a foreigner play so good this peculiar music! Bravo to you!

[miguelbass]

Some say - deep down, we are all One... I try to go there, and the magic of Bulgarian Music opens those golden doors to the depths of the soul.

[stratocasterbob]

Bravo Miguel ! Very fun to watch, great musical composition! *****

[miguelbass]

Hello Bob! Hope you feel more curious about Bulgarian music. Not so much guitars there, but will give you a lot of new musical challenges... and ideas;) Glad you liked it! Thanks so much.

[kski94]

amazing.

[miguelbass]

Hello Nick, thank you very much for watching!

[antonioferreiradrums]

very well my friend, you have a nice sound

i'm proud to see the comments and the praise i read about you. big hug to you.

[miguelbass]

Thank you very much my friend, it's great to hear from friends that shared the same stage so many times! Abraço!

[markkens]

Tremendous! My favorite section is 1:43 to 2

;09...but I enjoyed it all.

When did you get so lucky to get a Zon?

[miguelbass]

When I wrote "New Pictures" for the Cyberan Khatru compilation - I already had it... so it must have been around 2000! Thanks for watching (btw your favourite section is mine too, plus the ending)

[antonioventura]

Grande trabalho!!!

[miguelbass]

Sempre a bombar ;) Thx manasso

[ProgMom67]

Excellent job Miguel. I enjoyed it very much!

[miguelbass]

I'm happy to know it! Thanks :)

[rdevicsaint]

Incredible! Wonderful arrangement and playing. Totally blew me away. Chris

[miguelbass]

Thank you very much, Chris!

[BBBLACKDOG]

Cool

Bass you've just got to love it.

Thanks Dale

[miguelbass]

Hello Dale, thank you very much!

[j0hnny59]

MIGUEL,tu ti-ai gresit cariera.cum se impaca muzica cu universitatea?cum de ai timp?

asta se cheama PASIUNE!!

[miguelbass]

imi pare ca ai raspuns corect Johnny. Sunt apasionat si, bine înteles, un pic nebun :)))) Multumesc mult!

[klavust11]

Bravo, Miguel! Your "Bass Choir" has a huge and haunting sound. I would love to hear The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" done with this setup! Thanks for sharing...Wes

[miguelbass]

Hello Wes - I thank you for watching and for the suggestions.

[Dukered21]

Wow! The Miguel Bass Band!!! :-) With the Contra bass this song obtain some kind of King Crimson sound (Tony Levin)! Great performance as always Miguel!!!!

[miguelbass]

Hey Guy, thanks again for watching!

[miguelbass]

By the way, your reference to KC is not at all without sense. You should know Robert Fripp's interest in Bulgarian Folk, especially on odd-time signatures.

[InfinitoPerdido]

Está fenomenal! Parabéns.

[miguelbass]

Muito obrigado!

[0Skyzer0]

Uau!!! sem palavras! magnifico!!!

[miguelbass]

Muito obrigado, fico mto contente em saber q gostatste. 1 abraço!

[bufferin]

Just when I was about to suggest "Big Bottom"...

:)

Great performance and perfect editing, Miguel!

[miguelbass]

But I used all my amps on 11 !! ;)

[motorpsych0]

There you go...raising the bar again, Miguel!

You need more instruments!!!!!

Great editing, BTW...

[miguelbass]

Ouch, I fried my brain enough trying to fit the 8 instruments :) I think I need a rest now, but won't be for too long! Thanks Robert!

[hyperboreal]

Fascinating, Miguel. And whoah, that's a huge double-bass you got there, buddy! It's really impressive to watch the whole ensemble playing their parts for this piece. You've caught my attention on this strange and overlooked music yet I couldn't manage to find this piece on YT. I guess I should search for it elsewhere. Great job once again!

[miguelbass]

Alex, simply searce "pilence pee" and you will get a result. a live performance by the London Bulgarian Choir, which consists of mostly english citizens who sing bulgarian music. The director I believe belongs(ed) to the original Bulgarian Choir. My other track (Svatba) you can find by searching "voix bulgares lisbon". However I really recommend listening to the historical 4AD recordings. They have a site too if you search for "bulgarianvoices". You won't waste your time. Good luck and thanks!

[hyperboreal]

Thanks for the indications. I'm going to check those right now.

[4111august]

excelente! es um grande musico baixista ;)

[miguelbass]

Obrigado e abraços baixísticos!

[miguelbass]

the last recording and mixing days, i *really* went crazy :)

[fendermac]

Amazing and brilliant.***** I'd love to hear you do some Georgian stuff.

[miguelbass]

hI Paul, interesting you mentionel the Georgian choirs because funnily enough this year I heard it for the first time. Great music with lots of potential too. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, the video link and, as always, for listening.

[KMAsKorner]

I don't know the piece but it was very interesting watching how the different parts meshed. I love your stuff and love being introduced to new music so I am going to hunt this piece down.

[miguelbass]

Thank you Keith. I assure you it's wonderful. One of the greatest pieces of music ever written, for my taste. I am thinking whether it would be cool or plain heresy to mix in the original on another version, for people to get to know this kind of music...
