"Wish You Were Here" cover on the Eigenharp Alpha

[TheCanOpenerOfTruth]

This is such an amazing instrument. And this song.. wonderful. ;-}

[squiresuzuki]

What an amazing instrument. Too bad it's $6000

[enarolloyd49g]

This video went viral on Sweden

[TenchiMy12345]

The Eigenharp looks like an instrument out of the Star Wars Cantina, lol. Simply amazing and I want one.

[MrSpdy247]

Incredible cover, and beautiful use of the Eigen! May I ask also what digital video camera did you use to record this? The quality is superb HD!

[gbevin]

@MrSpdy247 Thanks for the kind comments, I'm using my Panasonic Lumix GH2 DSLR for recording videos of this quality, it's very impressive indeed.

[MyHiDef]

Amazing! Do more Pink Floyd !

[nutelina]

@gbevin; I meant to ask if they did update the product for the Alpha, what you say in the comments, the strumming, I use AAS Strum Elec and Acoustic, I like it a lot but I don't have any Eigenharp, just curious, I'd like to play relastic cello, guitar and wind/brass just so I can use those instruments in my own compositions

[gbevin]

@nutelina no they haven't further updated the product in functionalities, what you see in this video is very close to the release version. I have to say though that even with this version, playing it with the percussion keys on the Alpha as string as really realistic.

[nutelina]

So what's in the  Evolution Acoustic Guita update?

[gbevin]

@nutelina what do you mean? Evolution Acoustic Guitar is a dedicated product

[TigerEnos]

Now that is bad ass and a great cover too, like the sound and the vocals!

[toborthegreat]

Just beautiful !!!! nice guitar sound and great vocals:) Victor

[JOAOPENICHE]

very good :)

[balluduku]

Sorry, but I got to ask: why don't you use a guitar instead? I don't quite see the interest of the eigenharp here...

[gbevin]

@balluduku to demonstrate the flexibility of the Eigenharp Alpha and also how good the Orange Tree acoustic guitar sample library is. In reality, there are some advantages though, the acoustic guitar sound is very good and easily usable live without any risk for feedback since it's all digital. I'm considering using it with my band instead of bringing a real acoustic guitar.

[moneyquickeasy]

@gbevin How can this instrument possibly replace a guitar? That's actually absurd.

[gbevin]

@moneyquickeasy it obviously can't fully replace a guitar, but playing it like in this video for acoustic guitar works well and it feels really nice, up to every musician to decide whether to do it or not of course. It's just another possibility.

[moneyquickeasy]

@gbevin Is it difficult to play, compared to an acoustic, steel string guitar?

[gbevin]

@moneyquickeasy I find the Eigenharp one of the most intuitive and easiest instruments to play, but it's still an instrument and requires daily training for a few of months to be fluent and comfortable

[vrooomuk]

Probably the best cover of this song I've ever heard (and seen). This and your Glass cover is very good. Bravo!

[ludovica36]

Absolutely fantastic Geert! :) You're so talented

[gbevin]

@ludovica36 Thanks Ludo :-)

[khooosa]

epic ...

[TheHornet79]

Now thats a musician! Some one that explored his ideas even further.....$5,650 dollars further that is....

[wayfechylde3]

what the hell is that thing??

[WirelessMidiGuitar]

Wow - That is a great performance !

Was considering the purchase the Evolution samples for use with my Ztar, and your video convinced me that they have amazing potential.

Thanks for sharing....

[mikewantssomeapple]

maaan what an awsome tunning

[gilblas59]

geert, you ROCK !!! and the alpha too, of course !! it's really amazing !! so bad it's so expensive !( yeah, i know, it's so advanced it's worth the price, but still 5 or 6 K is too much for a non professionnal…)

Those samples really live !! good job !

[gbevin]

@gilblas59 thanks for the compliments! :-) If the Alpha is out of your reach, you should take a look at the Tau, it's half the price and has enough keys to make it possible to play almost everything you want.

[thecaveman]

wow.... beautiful!

[PoopeopleMusic]

Better than the real deal Thanks

[RanKirlian]

Just an awesome performance! Congratulations!!

[SteakMusic]

god damn this is amazing! Fantastic job man. Also Orange Tree Samples are insanely good. Eigenharp seems like the perfect companion to Greg's Kontakt libraries.

[telkmx]

nice man

[083ron]

Holy crap those samples sound good....

[gbevin]

@083ron indeed, Greg @ Orange Tree Samples is a master at sampling, his stuff is mind blowingly good! :-)

[Ignitionator]

This is pretty awesome. Eigenharp should use YOU for their advertising!

[gbevin]

@Ignitionator thanks! I will be doing a bit of advertising actually at MusikMesse in a few weeks :-)
