The Happy Birthday tune
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J1NH8ytfy0
A humble video production of a rendition of a Happy Birthday tune played on the double bass. This is to wish Msfeline a Happy Birthday, and Kunstemaecker a belated Happy Birthday.
It was a challenge to record oneself on video single-handedly. Furthermore, I was playing strictly by ear without any score to refer to. I may not try to record myself too often due to logistic constraints. The embedded version of this video is only available for limited period.
Actually, I like this rendition and version of the Happy Birthday tune to mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPJ34Q4LN8s

that's such a heartfelt gift!

Happy birthday to the birthday kids. :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how much I enjoyed watching you play this PY. Love the way the wind blows your hair and watching you focus. And I see a small bit of satisfaction at the end of the song. I think I enjoyed so much because I think you are happy while playing.
Now I can hear you play even when I'm not in Spore. So nicely done. Did you turn on the fan for that "wind blowing hair" effect? :D
ReplyDeleteEmily: :) Actually my camera has already converted everything to the right format for me to upload onto You-Tube, so I didn't need any extra editing.
ReplyDeleteSA: Thanks for your compliments.
Tigerfish:: I did turn on a fan, but the hair-blowing effect was probably not due to the fan. It is quite windy if I were to open the windows and practise in that room.
hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm flattered to pieces that you linked my "happy birthday - on the bass!".
You have a nice clean sound and a lovely bow arm - well how could you have one without the other? ;) - just need to be more confident in your shifting.
all the best - juliana QOTU
Juliana: Thank you for your feedback and comments.
