Native Scenery 故郷の原風景 by Sojiro on Takashi 4C and Aketa 1C Ocarinas

[Echoingocarina]

This is really beautiful! :)

[subhendusaha]

truly amazing and sensual. best performance i have ever heard online.

[lidengdeng]

Cool...... Great music and great performer.

[augustusyang]

非常棒！太厲害了！great!

[oolivakevino]

fantastic performance

[kingnahum17]

Very well written and beautifully played. I do however find the echo on your oc, and the lack of echo on the piano (or less of it) make the two sound more separated like they almost don't go together. But that is only a very minor thing. BTW Texas is awesome, but the pics make it look like a giant grassland where the deer and the antelope roam, which it is everything but. Lol.

[carboncopymusic]

@kingnahum17 I can definitely see what you're saying here. This was before I had learned about pre-delay. I should have backed off the piano a bit and cut the midrange while using the exact same reverb on both the piano and the ocarina. Doing this would have had it hit the mix a bit better. In later videos you may start to hear this technique materialize.

[ocarinadiva]

@lord0gnome Hey! I'm glad you like it :)

[ShadowofProclimaton]

oh... my god. With every video, you get more and more awesome! I can only hope that I get half as good at playing the piano as you are with the ocarina. That would be a blessing.

[LadyHalfling]

What a beautiful piece.

Thank you for playing it.

[SuetiMueti]

thanks for sharing.

[ocarinadiva]

@pankuolong Thanks Kuolong. I'm glad you liked it :)

[paragonshadow]

Nice! Hope i get that good one day. :D

[ocarinadiva]

@paragonshadow Thanks :)

[PianoOnWheels]

You live in Texas? Awesome! =D

Wonderful playing as usual, and the photos are absolutely wonderful.

[ocarinadiva]

@PianoOnWheels Thanks. I didn't take the photos but I tried to find ones that captured Texas really well. My favorite picture of the bunch is the one of the bats.

[jhumperdink]

that ocarina sounds lovely. i would love to get one some day

[ocarinadiva]

@jhumperdink Thanks :)

[GabeGT]

Is that a purple clay? It looks very clean. I also love the colour. I would maybe make the ocarina a bit louder. Hard to hear when you play lower. other then that. A nice song to play when you want to relax :D Great playing!

Woah. just came to the Soprano. Like the change. great job.

[ocarinadiva]

@GabeGT

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure if the ocarina is made from purple clay, but it does look a lot like purple clay to me. I know that Mr. Pan likes to experiment with different designs, clays and firing finishes for his ocarinas.

[MartinRaetzJr]

A wonderful composition, very well played. The sound is amazing. Excellent technique and much heart. I did enjoy it. Regards. Martin

[ocarinadiva]

@MartinRaetzJr

Thank you Martin!

[kresimircindric]

Beautiful! :D

That Takashi 4C is a magical ocarina, you are so lucky to have it. :)

[ocarinadiva]

@kresimircindric

Thank you, I agree! ^_^

[Donjosue]

[TyYann]

Beautiful!

[ocarinadiva]

@TyYann

Thank you! ^_^

[deathknight228]

I love these ocarinas sound.

[ocarinadiva]

@deathknight228

Thank you. They are made by Kuolong Pan in Taiwan. : )

[TheGamerboy860]

One of the most inspiring pieces ever, made even better by you. You have such talent! This is extremely...GAH! Words cannot explain the beauty of this! Darn, this is amazing...so inspiring, this makes me want to get an ocarina again. Mine broke in a terrible car accident, but that really doesn't matter anymore, I'm going to save up my money to buy another ocarina again. Consider yourself lucky. You just inspired a little kid like me. So beautiful..I'm crying. Amazing job! Keep it up. :')

[ocarinadiva]

@TheGamerboy860

This made my day - thanks!! : )

[TheGamerboy860]

Omg, I made a famous ocarina player's day, omg, omg, omg..I am SO going to put this on my "best things I ever did" list! ^_^

[aljazz5]

Sound really good and nice music video, thanks for sharing.

[ocarinadiva]

@aljazz5

Thank you!

[Ragnara89]

Only one Word, Awesome!

[ocarinadiva]

@Ragnara89

Aw, thanks!

[Niclaswat]

Man, I'm glad Mr. Pan is getting ready to sell his ocarinas. They are pure magic.

[ocarinadiva]

@Niclaswat

Oh, that's fantastic!!! Now more people will be able to enjoy his lovely ocarinas! ^_^

[SarumeMutara]

Saying that this was wonderful would be saying too less

[ocarinadiva]

@SarumeMutara

Aw, thank you! : )

[yslamm2008]

Great performance.......and the Takashi 4C looks nice.

[ocarinadiva]

@yslamm2008

Thank you very much. The Takashi is definitely one of my favorite ocarinas.

[BiwaLuke]

Great job, I love the tone of those ocarinas, they sound really pure!

[ocarinadiva]

@BiwaLuke Thank you :)

[AdrianCloud5513]

It's very nice to see you start branching out, in your videos, to other ocarina names aside from the ones offered from STL. I don't see a lot of ocarinas used in youtube videos that are outside of the (now normal) Songbird, Hind, STL(TNG/WPN), Mountain, Focalink and Maparam brands. Even Spencer Ocarina video are rare.

As for this video, it's this kind of music that makes me love ocarina. The warm and melodic vs the bright and fast. Sojiro is incredible, as far as I'm concerned.

Great Job, Cris

[ocarinadiva]

@AdrianCloud5513 Thanks for the nice comment :)

The ocarinas I prefer tend to be the ocarinas I play the most, which end up as youtube vids, but you'll probably like my 100th vid. I'm going to try to do a video of my entire ocarina collection.

[TreyFriend]

NOICE!
