Today I thought I'd have a go at putting a little video on here.
Its the first time I've tried to do this, and so its not the best ever. But I thought I'd start small with a short piece on my harp called rain dance for frogs.
It has been raining a lot recently, and today there were a few hours of sun. The birds outside were all singing, and there was a gentle breeze, so I thought I'd just aim the camera at a chia flower, and capture just the sound this time.
Unfortunately, the first time through I was really distracted by a car going past, and worried that it would be really loud, so then stalled a bit. But the second time through sounds really ok from about 41 seconds in.
I love this tiny piece. My right hand is playing quietly, and my left hand has the main melody, so is slightly louder.
My right hand is playing the drips of rain perhaps as they fall from leaves to a stone or fallen branch where a frog might be hiding, and my left hand (to me) sounds like a curious little frog peeking out, then going back, then having another look, and eventually hopping off, or maybe drops falling in a pond.. What do you think?
Short and atmospheric, and hopefully it will work!
Oh my! That took a long time!!
Hope you enjoy it
BEAUTIFUL.
ReplyDeleteI felt I was sitting with you in your garden. I could have sat all day and listened to you play. That was just super. Thank you for sharing.
It takes me ages to do computer work sometimes! I get a little frustrated with myself!
Much love.
Thank you for such kind words Trish x.
