- Egyptolomei - A puppet show theme [bouzouki clarinet accordion recorder guitar bass]

This piece was originally a soundtest for a puppet theatre performance; a scratch version of 'Neoptolomus' Theme'. It started as an improv on the synth and then metastasized to the other instruments [which is why it speeds up in a bar in the middle-muddle; I wasn't using a metronome or being particularily careful...] Recorded with an ancient version of cakewalk. Seeing as the puppets are standing half finished on my desk I'm guessing the show isn't coming anytime soon. I thought I'd post this here instead for the time being. The bass is hard to hear on laptops and benefits wonderfully from being plugged into a proper stereo if you have access to one. I think there are three bouzouki tracks herein; one rhythm and two leading the melody.

The videos were filmed afterwards on two seperate days; I have found it quite hard trying to cut up and sync videos together on Windows Media Player... I know, the recorder and the accordion are playing the wrong things in the videos, but I was getting pretty bored shuffling them about trying to get the timing right. Hey, if anybody can suggest a more advanced parallel sequencing software that doen't cost an arm and a leg please message me.

Oh and... beach tennis played by Valerie Stevens and Robert Ekonomopoulos, umpired by Luna dog!

It's so beautiful! Thank you for sharing it, it's awesome how a couple strains of improv can blossom into something so magical. I hope one day we will get to see your puppets as well. Thanks for the video response.
