Hey everyone,

I’ve been to two video shoots recently, and I wanted to share the result with you! :smiley:

The first is a clip for a recording we did with the Big Band I play in.
The song is called ‘Celebrate Springtime’, you can find the video on the home page:

I play the solo at 3:03.

The second is a demo clip for a new cover band, ‘Stockholm Tivoli’ (the singer is Swedish…).
I’m not a regular player for that band, but the bass player is the bandleader of the Big Band and he asked if I would play on the demo. I will also play some gigs with them, but they’re going to work with a musician pool.
I don’t mind, I’ve got enough bands at the moment…
The only regular players will be the bass player and the singer (husband and wife…).

It was fun doing both videos.

Cheers,
Wim

For a second I thought I’d break my rule and prefer one of the brunettes…

…but, no, get me a date with the blonde in the purple dress. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

(Nice video! Not exactly typical big band music, but still great stuff nonetheless!)

Take a Bow Wim!

Love the Big Band and the small band Coooks!

'k Larry … you take the ladies … then I’ll sneak up and sing with the band. Heck I’d love that!


Wim … Applause :slight_smile: … Special congrats for your solo in the first vid … heck … working with the chords AND going anarchic without missing any feel. I’d like to hear more of you playing in that mood.

All the best
Glyn

Hello Wim - I listened/watched that 1st one - excellent!! I can’t wait to see the 2nd one.

If I may ask a technical questions, not knowing if you were involved in the making of the video itself - I was wondering if the sound was live, or perhaps studio and sync’d to video? Do you know what program was used? If it wasn’t live, the sync was awesome, I didn’t notice even one “out of sync” word or action.

What a great band. And awesome solo! Congrats!!

BTW - I also went to your really nice HfH website. I noticed one little thing out of date … it links to the old cubase.net forum, rather than the steinberg.net one …

Thanks again for sharing such great tunage!

Respect! :smiley: Thanks for sharing.

The sound was recorded a few weeks before in a studio, we were lip-syncing during the video shoot. Personally I don’t like lip-syncing, but we had fun during the proces. After a few takes we started to play wrong notes deliberately. At one time I played my entire solo a half note higher… :smiley:

I’m not sure which program was used, but I know one of the band members was involved, so that explains why everything was in sync.

Thanks, I will pass the compliment on to them. It sure is fun playing in this band. :sunglasses:

Yes, you’re right. I really need to find some time to update my site… :confused:

Thanks for checking.

Cheers,
Wim
