Indeed. Great stuff. Even had some closeups of the guy playing the sousaphone.
One notes that the Sousaphone player did not feel the need for his bell to touch his forehead, and he was able to wear the same style hat as his compatriots. Band Directors take note!
Neither did he show much interest in demonstrating his vertical leap while playing. I'm glad that style never took Roots.
Will the general public know to appreciate any finer details of the above instruments? Hardly.
Is the pimpophone ready for symphony halls aside from dueling encores with Brandon Marsalis? Hardly. Will it catch attention with the general public? I guess. Get a pink fur collar with the tips dyed neon green, and your outfit is complete.
I found the pictures of the recording studio very interesting. I had no idea of what the setting would be. I figured that, with a band, the playeres would stand/sit near microphones and play. The placement of the partitions around the players position was curious. I suppose this is so the sound is isolated and the engineer can modify it in the mix?
Yes, "Audio Score" from Photoscore, a division of Sibelius. I downloaded the free demo version which has full capabilities but will only do 50 seconds of music and tried it out. If you remember the first versions of Photoscore, it used to take me 20 hours to correct the scanning mistakes on a 3 minutes choir piece, you will have an idea of how useable this is. It might work for a single melody line with block chords, but anything else is gobblegook on the screen. Please someone tell me I am wrong 'cause I really need this program to work. It would be a life saver for me. I don't transcribe well and I have 3 projects in the can right now that I need to transcribe.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.
This is good stuff! It's funky, yet refined. I could download and save these tunes but prefer your finished CD. Please tell the moment it becomes available.
