Amazing !!! Will you perform in France one day?

[FourSqueezins]

That's a wonderful thought. Is the Moulin Rouge still around?

[FourSqueezins]

Yes, we do. Where do you live?

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. As an upcoming manualist, I greatly admire their work and artistry. Plus it's just funny as hell. The vibrato is brilliant. Where did the background noises come from. Do you give lessons? AWESOME

[FourSqueezins]

Hi JHUMS,

Thanks for the response. The background noises (i.e bass notes plus a few notes in the intro) are synthesized hands. I sampled my hands into a keyboard that we call the Gasitron. The sampler takes the note and alters the pitch according to the key that is being played. Also, thanks for noticing the vibrato--a LOT of work on that technique for me! Just curious--does JHU stand for Johns Hopkins University? Keep playing those hands!

Its classical music with hand farts.

Thanks for your answer! I live in Rueil, near to Paris. Do you have any idea of the concerts dates (and places)?
