So I enjoyed doing the audio with commentary so much for the last post, I decided to do it again. Only this time it took ten hours. I wasn't expecting that. It was due in large part to solving certain software conversion problems and the fact that the song itself comes in at over eight minutes.

These videos are ridiculously cool. While they've got a Pop-Up video feel to them, they're better because you focus on the music which, after all, is the point of music. I think you should post them on YouTube and get them out into the world.
ReplyDeleteBest parts to me are the comments that make you focus on parts of the music you'd normally miss (harps, Theremin, etc.). Though, "sounds like Hippie sex" IS truly hilarious.
Looking forward to the point where you decided to tackle a movie score. Randy Newman, perhaps?
Thanks a lot. The blog itself has been my only real creative outlet (which I needed very much). But these are a really great way to hopefully let others enjoy some music as much as I do. And putting them together, while tedious, makes me appreciate the nuances of the music all over again. For instance, I never heard the snaps during the flute solo of the Fourth Movement until this morning.
ReplyDeleteI have been mulling over what the next one I was going to tackle would be. I hadn't considered a film score yet. That might be a fun challenge.
As far as YouTube is concerned, I avoided them for the sole reason that I didn't want to put the song out there so that people could get it without paying. That's why I avoid putting anything about the song title in the blog itself; to avoid the search engines. I don't know how to save content from YouTube but I'm sure there are plenty out there that do. And the Polyphonic Spree are such a hardworking band that I really want them to get every sent they have coming to them.
But once again, thanks for the encouragement.

ReplyDeleteActually, you cannot download movies that are posted on YouTube. All you get is a hotlink, so the song should be safe from piracy.
ReplyDeletePretty pathetic. Ten hours. My best friend is the only one that comments. I require validation on a large scale!
