Hi,

yes Im now a subscriber - great stuff ! - I dont know where the background pic is of - at a guess Id say its in Orions belt !

It's easy to find spelling and punctuation errors in almost any writing. Thank goodness that is not the point of YouTube. The music and setting work well together to create a meditative mood. To my eyes and ears, the overblowing effects on this plastic recorder echo the roughly carved wooden figures. Ironically, I don't think you can get that sound on a wooden bass recorder.

thanks for the compliment ! - I love to hear this instrument played in the correct manner - however as you rightly pointed out the design and material of this instrument allow for some fairly wild performances...

have a look at a recently added clip (favourites section) on my channel for an example of pushing the bounderies !

I have never heard so much overblowing in my life. Then you add a very overdone"Flute" vibrato. The result is music that does not even begin to display the amazing sounds a Yamaha Bass is capable of producing.

haha ! overblowing goes on everywhere ! you only have to know where to look !!!

I agree about the yamaha being a unique instrument, try playing in my style on a traditional wooden bass ! I see you are into a more traditional performance which I much admire ! as for me, I leave that to the experts.

Rated excellent - thank you. Very haunting and wonderful. I'm experimenting with different visual contexts for music and I really love this - the sculptures and music and performing space work flawlessly together. Great video work - who did that?

[recorderdevoix]

Oh yeah, I've got that one in my collection, too. Yours is in my favorites. Have you seen my channel? Nice nebula for your background. Which one is it?

[Stunner51]

yes, but wjackman56, you cant spell the word "life" correctly on your profile, AND you state that music is your "hobby" - so your comment is a moot point. Me thinks you may be a bit jealous of one whose music is one's whole life?
