Tregenna Afternoons

[HaroldDemura]

Absolutely perfect, it seems to hear the original tune. Congratulations

[hyperboreal]

@HaroldDemura

Thank you very much, I'll have to finish it one day.

[1961Patricio]

[Maeglin13]

I just wanted to thank you for sharing this. It's basically priceless work. Ant love!

[hyperboreal]

Your comment is very much appreciated. Thanks Maeglin.

Lovely Stuff

[ovationelitet]

Wow, nice job. This is my favorite Anthony Phillips composition of all time. We Anthony Phillips fans appreciate your efforts. Looking forward to part 2 !

[mcgraster]

Hyper - you've done it again!!! One of my all time faves. You do it such justice. You may be the ONLY person who holds the key to unlock the sublime magic of AP's kingdom.

[hyperboreal]

They've gone through so many changes, and most of the times for the worse, that I can't remember right now. Wy jesteście usprawiedliwiani, młoda kobieta (surely mispelled haha).

[hyperboreal]

Your message is still there Ethel (click at 'View all messages'). I don't remove any messages at all (unless I accidentally click at 'Remove' when trying to reply). Thanks for your reassured support anyway! ;-)

[Jonocynic9]

I've just listened to your AP 15 piece playlist which contain some of my favourite AP songs. Thanks for posting, Ant's music never fails to move me and your playing does his music real justice.

[hyperboreal]

I'm very glad to read that, thanks mate.

[troubleclef]

listening right after hearing your frantic "in the cage" solo transcription. what a difference, needless to say. this sounds great to me. ie, playing and sound and capturing the soul of the original. sure, there's some out of tune thing at 4:16 (not sure what happened there) but i've heard worse, believe me. It's coming together nicely..more than nicely, brilliantly. It's time for you to do an album with Ant.

[troubleclef]

when it goes stereo at 1:29 my brain explodes

[hyperboreal]

haha, just be sure to pick up all the pieces, we need that brain of yours working properly for us! As for the problem with intonation at that segment, you might be right now that I hear it again. That's one hell of a passage, specially on the 12-string, lots of barre chords up the neck (and the high action on my guitar literally kills my left hand!). Anyhow, I hope to redo that part and fix another things with the mixing of the guitars when I take it up again for a completion.

[hyperboreal]

yep, you're bloody right, 4:16 it's def in the 'outer limits' zone. gosh i need to take some time before i press the rec button. it has happened more than once, i'm so unforgivably oblivious of that crucial point sometimes!

[troubleclef]

don't sweat it. we all do that. anyhow, your Ant dedication continues to be an inspiration.

[hughesweb]

Yes Alex, you are the absolute champion of AP and his sublime music. I've listened to all of your AP stuff on YT and yearn to be able to capture even some small part of it. Hats off to a true master of the 12 string (or any guitar for that matter).

[pinamar13]

Alex, simepre es agradable escucharte y pues no tengo palabras eres genial!!

[hyperboreal]

Y todavía es más agradable recibir comentarios como los tuyos. Gracias Pina.

[miaris]

Fantastic :)

[hyperboreal]

Thanks Mia!

[hbous]

it sounds like I made an entry to some sacred place. The entrance was with shyness but upon entry I was assured and everything was fine....What a great piece and so well executed.

[hyperboreal]

Yours is a fine depiction for this song. So nice that you felt that way while listening to my interpretation. I strongly recommend you to get hold of that album so you can revive properly those sensations with this and other wonderful tracks. And thanks for watching!

[chamacojesus]

Es un precioso trabajo, Alex. Me parece que nunca te va a satisfacer totalmente el resultado, porque se ve tal cantidad de trabajo detrás (de guitarra y de "trasteo") que no creo que ningún resultado casero le haga justicia. Otra de tus fantásticas rarezas. Muchas gracias, amigo.

[hyperboreal]

Gracias a tí por tus valoraciones, Jesús. Nadie mejor que un guitarrista consumado para apreciar el trabajo que hay detrás.

[hyperboreal]

Gracias Neelan, son unas progresiones preciosas ciertamente.

Sí, lo saqué "de oreja" todo como dices, la siguiente parte contiene más voces de guitarra. Ant suele doblar también algunas partes de guitarra para crear un sonido más rico. A ver si consigo acabarla algún día. Un saludo, compañero.

[hyperboreal]

And I love that you loved it. Thanks Ethel ;-)

[thrip]

Wow, it's amazing Alex! Very well done!

[hyperboreal]

Glad that you liked it Tim.

[gardenwall07]

here you are at last !...beautiful playing as usual!! and very interesting piece by anthony phillips!!

[hyperboreal]

Sono contento che ti sia piaciuto. Grazie mille Sandro.

[centralscrutinizer9]

sounds great a real pleasure to see someone playing Ant Phillips music

the audio quality has that compressed squelching sound it happens when Wavs are turned to mp3 maybe thats whats going on here the uploads are being compressed

but it certainly takes nothing away from your playing

excellent stuff !!

[hyperboreal]

The video I uploaded had the original wav recording turned to mp3 (at 128 kb/s) but I guess it was recompressed again considering it was a considerable large file (about 20 mb).

Thanks for your appreciation!

[amccann7]

Alex, you are such a clean and precise player; a joy to listen to! This is such a beautiful song, you play with such feeling!

~Amy

[hyperboreal]

Very nice to read that from you. Thanks Amy.

[chris21125150]

Sounds great, hyperboreal. Anthony would be proud. I hope he's seen your videos. Keep it up.

[hyperboreal]

Thanks Chris. I'll try my best.

[zardozfrance]

Une pure merveille. Je ne connaissais pas ce morceau d' Anthony Phillips, certains passages rappellent Debussy. Sorry but for the great emotions I'm not able to comment in english.

[hyperboreal]

Je suis heureuse de lire tes mots, merci beaucoup zardoz.

[hyperboreal]

Et je suis d'accord avec de votre remarque sur Debussy avec l'utilisation de ces arpèges rapides dans le 'pont' . Excuse mon français.

[miguelbass]

You're going in the right direction. I love the effect of layered guitars. Did you arrive to film the 12-string? Lots of hard work there Alex.Well done.

[hyperboreal]

Muito obrigado Miguel. You can see the 12-string being played here, it does look like a regular acoustic guitar.
