Docjazz4's "Are you an ocarina guru" contest: my entry

[BlueDiamondAssassin]

This really makes my day and makes me happy to hear such a cheerful tune.

[SitarKnight]

You sir...are the bomb! :D

[musicofocarina]

dude, honestly, it's awesome!!! You have true skill. But, srry for saying, throwing your ocarina on the ground, even though it's really tough, is not a good idea. It's mistreating it, and it's not good for it. But the song was great!

[okarojo]

@musicofocarina In fact, I threw it on a cushion, and it did bounce back just some centimeters high before hitting the ground. And finally, it's a mountain ocarina, the plastic version, and it's really tough ;-)

[musicofocarina]

@okarojo Ok, at least you tried keeping it safe

[musicofocarina]

lol my computer has problems with youtube sometimes, so when you stopped playing your ocarina the first time and the sound kept going, i thought i was having a problem agian.

[darkhunter513]

i simply love it!

[hertajoid]

i like yours best

[ocarinasrevived]

Dude, this is awesome. How did you do the loops? Is there like a program you download?

[HumanIceBox]

Very nice I'm working on something similar. I'm actually a more of a beatboxer but have learned to play the ocarina while beatboxing at the same time.

[Flashuism]

Awesome stuff

[kyreks4]

You should totally go pro and sell your mp3's! :)

[jpstenino]

What a pleasure to congratulate you for your excellent work. Bravo!!!

[thebobojankins]

i think that the ocarina hitting the ground made the loop better

[okarojo]

cannot disagree ;-)

[acadeca]

wow. lol nice

[LiquidBlunt]

very good man

[raffaninov]

[Lunarflowerlullaby]

I can't get enough of this video. You are a GOD! I am so envious.

[DecroX01]

lol when he dropoed the first ocarina i thought "CHEATER!" then i relized it was loops cuz of the the anotation xD

[coolaKB]

[LucasAzazer]

[RecorderSue]

Congratulations on another creative "hit" video, Okarojo!  I still love listening to your quartet video (By the Rising of the Moon) and the new Dowland number is very enjoyable, too! Thank you.

[hahahasigh777]

excellent work!

[tehninjaboi]

most entertaining? definitely. but i must ask... how was this not even on the best performance set? this is amazing. my favorite of all the Sr. Division finalists.

[cheeserules5419]

Dude, you are by FAR the best player in the contest. The other guy was great, but you should have won best performance AND most entertaining. You are far and away the best player in this contest.

[ChoujiAkimichi]

i agree, The guy who won best perfomance's interpretation of this song was...horrible in my opinion =\

[JEROyROSA]

This is awesome!! And, congratulations on winning the contest's most entertaining video. A well-deserved win!

[someone3426]

[JaIgnArPach]

GREAT¡¡¡

[ichiJC]

dont kill yourslelf

[mdc2296]

simply amazing!!!

[hippymobster]

epic win

..u shouldnt throw ur ocarinas on the floor like that though

: \

[okarojo]

In fact, there was a cushion on the floor, and the oc just slipped from it, that's why you hear it long after the drop :-) But anyway, these mountain ocarinas are tough and would be OK after this kind of fall :-)

[lutherdriggers]

@hippymobster ah yes, but Mountain Ocarinas (polycarbonate) are different :D

[FatTonyBBX]

Congratulations for winning!

-FT

[Turbo852]

[eveecooper]

AMAZING!!! You totally deserve your prize from the ocarina guru competition! You're a brilliant ocarina player and you must have a great imagination to come up with the ideas for it! Congratulations :D

[hazelnut1593]

suweeeeeet!

[AveyLithia]

wow... O-O that was amazing.

[Psoewish]

Nice performance, though I think the C was a bit drowned in all the other sounds :)

But definitely worth the victory int he contest, way to go!

[kingocarina]

daaaaang

i see why you won

[SecondReversal]

Heh, classic, man - Very well done. Certainly one of the better renditions I've heard, and one of the more entertaining, as well.

[iamironflan]

why did you do all that stuff?

i thought it was a little too showoffy, didn't like it, sorry bro

[okarojo]

simply because that's how I felt it would sound good. And it sounds good to me. Anyway, you don't have to be sorry not lliking it. I'm pretty sure lots of people don't like it :-)

[skalite3]

Well, no accounting for taste with some people. I thought it was fantastic. Well done, it sounded great.

[StevnFoo3423]

@okarojo 5 people to be exact, that sure is a lot of people : )

[Rapidninja95]

Nice Job!!! I really like the loop station.

[mrguy66]

weak

[okarojo]

can you elaborate? like a constructive criticism?

[csocarina]

I keep watching this for inspiration! Excellent performance:)

[TaurnilsOcarina]

Wow, very well done! Best musical performance I've seen by far in my opinion.

Good luck!

[okarojo]

For the bloopers, you're right, I should work on this, there should be interesting bits in the 12 or so takes I took before this one ;-)

[agocska]

That was really funky man! Awesome!!! :)

[okarojo]

Thanks for all your kind comments! It was such a pleasure for me to do it. I gave too few time to music these last months, and this contest was really a kick in the ... to finally do a loopstation song. I hope I'll do more in the next months...

[FatTonyBBX]

Amazing video, faved for sure.

-FT

[3ejays]

I dont think you should win. your the best one, no doubt, but you already have the ocarinas.

And the fancy recording stuff, hd camera, etc.

[parichort]

WOW!!!! I like so much, very well!!

[ForestsRequiem]

Very nice! I think I will have to sub!

[MuteCivilian]

This is the best entry I've seen for the "Are you an Ocarina Guru" contest. Great performance/arrangement and a novel idea. Very entertaining!

[IHeartMySnes]

.... Nobody else stands a chance....

[crigjig]

hehe, this video, and yours are both very good...but I am still feeling lucky about mine.

[okarojo]

I look forward to seeing it! I imagine (and hope) there will be some very good "ocarina guru" videos poping up on youtube just before the deadline :-)

[TheOcarinaFanatic]

I meant to post this comment from THIS profile...oh well. If anyone wants to watch my video entry, this is the profile to click, NOT "crigjig".

TOF

[RussanoShegiah]

I loved it the only thing i didn't like was the beatboxing and voice. Otherwise fantastical X2!

[jeremyfrancis]

awesome! so creative!

[papilioj]

Vi sukcesis ! Vi estas okarina ĉampiono !

[MikeRules12346]

I liked it but the backround music hid the melody

[FusionSax10]

great performance but i dont know if they will let the effects slide in the judging. anyway, good luck

[Getaro]

Oh my god...

You're too good...

[moonsyne]

Lovely!

[subakuryu]

Bravo bravo! It's great to see other musicians out there showing what the voice of the ocarina can make! By far this is the best submission yet!

[PixelOverlord]

Dang, that's the best video yet by far!  Great work!

- Noah

[666LordOblivion666]
