Axis 49 The Dance Of Eternity "ragtime solo"

[felipescalador]

How about two handed?

[notepool2]

Brilliant! Great rendition... well played!

[Khazanah]

6,666? The devil of Ragtime, =)

[75egcg]

this is pretty awesome, but how could that be a practical instrument? Can human hands even be dynamic enough to operate songs like that in real time as one player?

[007bistromath]

@75egcg I see you haven't heard of the harmonic table. :p

Anything that a human can play on a piano a significantly less skilled one should be able to play on an instrument layed out this way. The main limitations are the size and key limit of the particular hardware.

[notepool2]

@75egcg Yes, isn't that what musical instruments are for, pushing the boundaries, among other things?

[bungiecoocoo]

W.T.F. is that thing? ... good job anywho

[DaveJolleyMusicMaker]

awesome!

[iLoveLucid]

Awesomeness, Jordan Rudess' video made me spend the $500, this and a whole bunch of other videos are getting me soo excited about getting it. 3 more days! woo!

Thanks for posting this video

I'd say the most musical out of the entries for the contest. I'd say you did a great job and I'm interested learning more about the Axis.

[AnarchyRules17]

no offense. as awesome as this may be, is there any way you could prove it isn't fake? cause it looks like it is. I'm not doubting you or anything but there are so many fakers on the interwebs.

[elettrobetti]

Honestly I wouldn't know how to prove it, all I can say is that I recorded 2 different videos for right and left hand parts, and I obviously synced the audio tracks during the movie editing process. So it's not that perfect, but it's not a fake! What would be the fun in that!? :)

[darksideofdarkness]

I agree, looks like it's fake but not so fake... I mean, probably the notes he plays are the right ones, but they are crearly edited/quantized to get the feeling he couldn't get while playing... The audio of edited midi version was pasted in the audiotrack of the syched videos. End of story... Well at least he efforted a bit... :-)

[510shredder]

@AnarchyRules17 have you not heard the song? its a lil slower in this vid than in the actual song. def not fake :|

[simonesta81]

this is so nice...

who is the genius???

[TheLallyno]

GREIT GIOB, DEZ AMEZING!!!!! :))))

[SimonSuperSonic]

vai bidiiiiiiiii

[TieflingInfame]

yEAH!

[m2guitars]

Complimentoni Riccardo

[Ursenfuns]

Awesome. It actually looks more difficult than playing it on a piano.

[Kaoskadosk]

Playing it on piano however is insanely hard. Rudess even changed the section to make it easier to play live.

[tsuihark]

You can enter the competition for another Axis, did you hear?

[LzI]

i LOVE IT! is it hard to learn? are you good at scales or something? :O for how long did you practice?!

[elettrobetti]

Eheh...I'm not that good in scales with a traditional piano keyboard! :P By the way I've practice for a week before recording the piece...

[guitarDouchebaggery]

OMG, that was amazing!!

[kbbrarsonist]

What software are you using for this? That piano sound is rather good!

[elettrobetti]

The Piano sound is from GarageBand...

[Envergure]

Awesome. I got mine a week ago so I still sick at it.

[kbbrarsonist]

Thats well good!! I hope they add midi ports to the 49 model. It seems well cool

[cotemy]

whoa!... this is peeerfect except by one note... on the bass(when de chord is on E the bass alternate E and B)

all the rest is peeeeerfect!..

Good Job

[notepool2]

Enjoyed that piece, you play it fluently which is good to see and hear! I wouldn't have known you're not a keyboard player; what's your main instrument? My main instrument's guitar but I love experimenting with this layout, when I have an instrument - I had to dismantle my 'Gecko' for parts to build another one - oh well, back to guitar for now!

[elettrobetti]

Well...I guess my so called main instrument would be clarinet, but I don't really got a main instrument...first of all I'm an electronic musician and producer, and I play a little bit of guitar, bass, keyboard, drums...ecc. ;)
