Flo Rida: Right Round - VIOLIN + VIOLA COVER (split screen)

Flo Rida: Right Round - VIOLIN + VIOLA COVER

This is the 9th* in my continuing series of classicalized popular music. As with all my covers, they are by request, this one was from "akkatty", who claims this song will be big in 2009. Should that happen, it means more views and thus more people exposed to the violin, which is my primary purpose in playing popular music on here instead of my classical.

This performance is the fourth* of my split screen videos where I play with myself. To do this video, I listened to the original song and by ear wrote out a sheet music score, then arranged it as a violin viola duet, and then performed it. I recorded each part separately, first the violin, then the viola. I was able to sync up and mix the 2 parts on my computer with a sound wave editor. To do the split screen, I used AviSynth (scripting based video editing and effects utility) in combination with VirtualDubMod (a free video editing utility) to sync up and render the two videos into a single split screen video. The sound then had to be synced to the 2 videos playing simultaneously.

For those that do not know what a viola is, its basically like the violin but bigger and lower sounding. It plays 5 notes or about half an octave lower than a violin, on the notes it shares with violin the viola sounds deeper, and it reads a different clef (alto) for its sheet music. Description of a viola for violinists: "A big honkin violin, missing the E string at the top of the range and gaining a C string at the bottom of the range and reads a funny looking clef". Also, in a survival situation, the viola would be preferred, as it burns longer. The viola in this video (right side frame) is just a Knilling student model, 17 inch.

* I have uploaded my videos out of sequence, I maintain that musical video number 8 was Britney Spears: Circus, also a violin-viola split screen. I did perform it 4 weeks before I did this 9th video, I have yet to release it here.

you are so talented i love my violin im just started learning a few months ago haha i cant wait till i play this good :D and ps DAMN i didnt realise you could make that kind of music on a violin/viola i figured you could with some pop songs but never imagined it when the beat is so complex, its amazing how you play both parts with ease.

@PaulaAbdulRoxxxx6 -- thanks :) Congrats on starting the violin recently. I figure you can do anything you want on violin, the limit being the imagination and technique of the player. As for this song, the rhythms aren't complicated or difficult in any way compared to pieces i've played in orchestra, or major concertos i've attempted to learn.

So work hard on your violin, practice, and at some point this kind of song will be easy. Good luck!

My 9 year old daughter who started the violin this year came across your video and we both loved this. Now she is in her room practicing.
