Chrono Cross - Scars Left by Time - Irish Flute

First day of work! Thought I'd celebrate with a video, and what better video than a video response?

This is a response to JonasOrlas' video. It's a bit rough in parts, but hey, I haven't played this piece in a while and I did it in a single take. Notice my Oji facec at the beginning and end. :P

Reverb added in Audition and stiched back together in movie maker.

Would have been more pleasing to the ear if you kept to a rhythm instead of skipping around.

@doodsrslyWTF Have you heard the original? It does the same thing.

[doodsrslyWTF]

@AchingOvaries I have, in fact, heard the original--many times, in fact--which is how I know that you're skipping over rests.

[AchingOvaries]

@doodsrslyWTF So you would have preferred I just sat there counting for 4 bars while the accompaniment that I didn't have beautifully didn't play in the background? To each their own I s'pose.

That is beautiful! Great playing! Love the tone, I've got to find out more about irish flutes.

@TravelerWhereof There is definitely a proper distance from the closed wall. That's why any flute that's worth its weight in anything has an adjustable cork in the head joint. Metal boehm (standard band) flutes all come with cleaning rods. These rods have a notch on them that you insert into the head joint and look through the hole to make sure the cork in the right place.

Rolling in and out and where I blow into the hole is different than where the cork is positioned in the head joint.

@AchingOvaries Erik Sampson from the Flutermaker ministries. Recommends that the blow hole be closer to the top of the flute, or nearer to the closed wall, This allows less air to escape and be more focused into the flute.

@DunkleMaterie117 The flute isn't broken, at least, not in the upper range. The airy sound is my playing style. It's from rolling in a bit more than the usual player and blowing down into the flute. It gives me a more complex sound. It's a common technique amongst Irish flute players. Thank you for noticing. :)

[DunkleMaterie117]

I hear a windy sound aside the "melody". The flute is broken in some way?

But it was very passionate and slightly more mysterious then most instrumental versions of Fans here on YouTube! : )
