I have been performing on guitar in the world famous Palace hotel in St. Moritz yesturday. http://www.badruttspalace.com/ . I have been playing in many first class hotels in my career, but THIS was in fact something very special. I wouldn't say that I liked the place - it is too much on high society and too much super rich people - but I have been there - and you should have seen the faces of the people when I parked my old fiat punto in front of the hotel beside all those rollce royes, bentleys, maybach's and other cars. The looked at me as I would be an alien. :-D

It's funny that most restaurants have french names

Did you get to stay overnight in one of their rooms ?

I know - I think it is to let a place sound highclass. I had a room but I did not stay over night - I did not feel too confortable there. Only the very rice people do stay there - and most of the were russian. But I played for an american buisness evening.

 

I already knew that guy. He has kind of the Justin King style. That really sounds great, but I guess there is one special trick behind it because Justin King sound very similar and I think it is even the same key

 

Worked hard this night - check the entry page of http://www.music-pictures.com

HP,

Very very nice entry page. Are you using Macromedia Director ? for the multimedia part ? and then you use Nuendo to add the music theme ?

I have Sonar producer edition as DAW and it has softsynths but I havent found anything that sounds similar to the type of synth sound you seem to be using.

Forgot to mention . I think these guys have quite similar style . I think they're using open tuning like open E. I tested a while ago using open E tuning and it had that very open sound like these guys have

Thanks - that was really a lot of work. You wouldn't believe it when you look at it.

 

I used jumpeyecomponents.com effects in combination with flash CS3. Still those components create great effects but it really takes time to get everything properly synchronized to the music and that the pictures give a natural flow with the music.

 

I used Nuendo of course to gether with different sounds. A have a whole bundle of sounds but the main softsyth is Omnishere.

Very much like Michael Hedges Style. there are a few that have been around for many years with touch acoustic style.

 

Some of these are some 20 or more years ago...

 

 

 

 

 

I Met Michael many years ago in my travels... I played on the same stage he did in RedRocks Colorado (it was daytime and had a small audience of people just check'n out redrocks just like me and my girl) ... But I can say I played there, it was a blast... the acoustics are aweseme! I was just playing my acoustic guitar no power... anyway, Michael was a great player... Killed in a tragic car accident in the Rockies He was great player of this techniques. Erick is a follower and is adding his own taste to it. It's good to see the style being carried on. Another player of this style is William Ackerman. I wrote a tune called Michael's hammer in honor of Michael.

 

You can here it here http://www.myspace.com/lastgenerationrock It's called Michael's hammer...

 

HP's technique is a bit more like Jordan's but he has his own flare and touch. There should be more lessons in this area. I've been practicing with my right hand since my left is injured, and will be some time before it's healed, I've only just found out. but it will not keep me from playing!

 

Peace...

I bet it takes time.All the multimedia software of this kind can do great things but it takes alot of experimenting with

It's unbelievable the number of tools we indie artist have to learn to be self sufficent

In fact I always loved the style of Standley Jordan - not only the playing but the tone which is created with the touch technique, and for me this playing is natural, since I grew up beeing a pianist before an injury stopped me and forced me to change to guitar.

Yes it takes a lot of time. But I always been I great fan of flash animated movies with music. This is where I started to get into scoring and composing for movies some years ago. You need to have a passion for it to really go through the whole thing and suffer till you get to the point where the result gets perfect. I worked through the whole night and that was the reason why I left St. Moritz that fast because I wanted to do that flash movie. I know I am a bit crazy
