Hi everyone. This is my first attempt at a music video with split screens. I took one of the melodies from my old song "Night of the Festival" and came up with an arrangement for mandolin, acoustic guitar, bass, and percussion (cajon and shaker - played with my foot).

But this isn't exactly a "music video". It's a live performance. The audio and video were recorded at the same time, although they were mixed and edited with 2 different softwares.

Anyway, thanks for watching and sharing honest opinions. God bless.

Hi Travis,

first split-screen attempt - this seems as if you had much experience in working with this technique. What I like about this video is - everything! First of all the fact, that you - as one of the few members of this community - play every instrument with your own hands...here we have, so to say, the visual evidence for this fact. The song sounds a bit like a russian folk-song, especially in the first part of the vid; the sound is rather good although it cannot be directly compared to the sound of a pure muscial presentation. Secondly, I like the exact order you have arranged within the different splits: I mean, for example, the position of the instruments, and even the 'way of the cable' which leads to your ear. This is all done with care and clear consciousness, I would think, and that is fine. And I also like the bluegreen bars which are placed above and under the vid: that gives the whole show a proper appearance (and the lights in the room where you are playing are very adequate, too). The feeling of synchronicity while you are playing the four different instruments is really nice, everyone with eyes in his head can clearly see that.

Very very good, Travis! So thanks for pointing me to this upload. I think it's time that we exchange our contacts here on this site once again, so that I don't miss any of your forthcoming presentations. 

Yours,

Thomas

I appreciated... "A BAND IN ONE MAN" !!! CIAO DA SANDRO

Last changed by Sandro_Glavina_Channel on 11/19/2014, 7:39 PM, changed a total of 1 times.

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

Hi Spritebat

OK< As a former music teacher , I give you an A+++, although this was most likely not a music assignment.  I Liked the song, I liked that you actually play all the instruments!  Were you wearing shoes? haha

Great job!!!

Salut ami de la belle musique,

Je t'avais découvert par hasard il y a un bon moment et hélas perdu de vu, car tu n'es pas qu'un musicien, mais aussi un artiste qui joue de multiples instruments avec en plus une superbe synchronisation, je ne sais pas si tu es autodidacte comme moi je le suis, mais qui hélas a beaucoup moins de pratique que toi, mais en tout cas tu te défends très bien et joue très bien de tous ces instruments.

Ta musique est superbe et la vidéo aussi, bravo ! avec une musique dont je dirais qu'elle est très agréable à écouter et surement une musique type "traditionnelle" moi qui suis très exigeant musicalement parlant, je te félicite pour la qualité de ta musique et la synchronisation de ces 4 instrument que tu joues très bien.

Je pourrais être un peu jaloux de ton jeu de main à la guitare et à la mandoline car je suis loin de jouer comme toi ayant beaucoup moins de pratique, mais je ne le suis pas, chacun fait sa musique avec ses propres moyens et ses possibilités limités ou non.

Mon appréciation pour ta jolie musique est de 9,5/10, c'est une très bonne note comme celle de Trish.

Bonne journée.

Salutations amicales.

Patrick
