i try to stay away from Neutral milk hotel covers. i feel like i'm setting myself up for disappointment because no voice can match the raw power and emotion of Jeff Mangum. but you managed to find a way to circumnavigate that, and got a new subscriber in the process.
i find it spectacular how some people still play classical instruments and make covers of songs with them, this version of NMH song is wonderfully done thank you so much for this video!
and congrats your a great cello player, i wish i could play like that :)
This blew my mind. I'm certain that a lot of NMH's stuff will pass by the majority of the human race because they can't tolerate Jeff's voice. This method of reimagining the song as a pure instramental remix reminded me of the depth that can be found in such a simple song.
That is amazing that you can do this on an upright bass. If i weren't watching a video, i would assume it was a cello! Which is saying alot since i am a cellist. Good job man!
Just a suggestion: you should try layering in the vocal melody from the song Earth Angel (like, the one from Back to the Future) and see what it sounds like with the bass. My band did a mashup of that and this song, and the two vocal melodies seemed to compliment pretty well.
i love your taste in music man! NMH, radiohead, muse, RHCP, coldplay, Beatles,and im sure so much more. all some of my top fave artists. and not even that but the amazing talent u bring to ur vids. when i grow older i wanna be able to play a lotta instruments like u, and to do them well :D i only play guitar and violin right now. but yea, keep it up man!!
Oh man. Love your bass as always and love the trombone! I play trombone, and I'm hoping to get a bass for Christmas or something, and this was just a beautiful mix of the two!
I'm sorry that I take your time again but.. Hey! Are you a self-tought on both instruments or did you take any lessons? ( I mean before you went to University) ;)
@OdcedzamMakaron I'm self taught on guitar, but I studied bass for four years with a private teachers before going to university to continue my studies in bass.
Very nice.
