Docjazz4's "Are you an ocarina guru" contest: my entry

This is my entry to Docjazz4's "Are you an ocarina guru" contest, and my interpretation of "I have a bonnet trimmed with blue". The last parts (not on the original score) are mine.

I recorded it live, in one pass, with a kind of loopstation. This device replays the last played part adlib, and new parts can be overdubbed. So I begin by composing a backing track, then play the song on it.

After the recording, I mixed the song: panned the backing tracks to get a stereo song, added a small reverb, and a bit of compression to polish.

The ocarinas are a Mountain Ocarinas Warmstone G and Polycarb C. The percussions are... you'll see :-)

The intro is done in esperanto, since my english is, well... what it is...

dude, honestly, it's awesome!!! You have true skill. But, srry for saying, throwing your ocarina on the ground, even though it's really tough, is not a good idea. It's mistreating it, and it's not good for it. But the song was great!

@musicofocarina In fact, I threw it on a cushion, and it did bounce back just some centimeters high before hitting the ground. And finally, it's a mountain ocarina, the plastic version, and it's really tough ;-)

i think that the ocarina hitting the ground made the loop better

[okarojo]

cannot disagree ;-)

[hippymobster]

epic win

..u shouldnt throw ur ocarinas on the floor like that though

: \

[okarojo]

In fact, there was a cushion on the floor, and the oc just slipped from it, that's why you hear it long after the drop :-) But anyway, these mountain ocarinas are tough and would be OK after this kind of fall :-)

This really makes my day and makes me happy to hear such a cheerful tune.

@okarojo Ok, at least you tried keeping it safe

[musicofocarina]
