Jethro Tull - Wond'ring Aloud (Rob Martino - Chapman Stick)

Hear my debut album One Cloud:
http://robmartino.com/OneCloud.html

My latest version of this classic acoustic Tull tune. Been playing it for years but still discovering new subtleties to help do it justice, always an ongoing work in progress!

Recorded with Logitech C910 webcam, Line6 POD HD 500 and Logic Pro for some post-production.

beautiful. and the sound is pristine. mate, how do you get it so loud, yet still with all those great dynamics?

[rpmartino]

@Zander4724 Thanks Zander- I use a peak limiter on the master output in Logic to bring up the overall volume (the tricky part is finding the balance between volume and not squashing the peaks too much). I still feel like it's kinda soft compared to other music videos, thanks for the comment :-)

Lovely version, Mr. Martino, as are the others. Out of curiosity, how often do you go theough a set of strings?

[rpmartino]

@pacree mostly due to laziness, I go about 8-12 months between string changes :-) thanks

beautiful job, Rob

[rpmartino]

@troubleclef thanks troubleclef, you remind me that I need to do a Wond'ring Again arrangement, so I started working on it last night! After all I already know half the tune! (just have to add some harmony to some of the melodic lines, which you do very well in your arrangement)

[ZOMBIELANDakaUSA]

absolutely fabulous work...

[mlaache]

@rpmartino have you concidered sending this to Mr. Ian Anderson? When I hear your music, I suddenly get the urge to take my Djembe drum for a spin. Respect!

Namaste.

That is simply wonderful. I'm speechless ! Incredible tone and clarity ! A great tune to demonstrate the range and abilities of this instrument !

[Yescamescaline]

Amazing, there`s so much feeling. I think it really brings out JT`s writing style with clarity.
