Live music videos from Trulan

[trulan]

Hi all,

About a month ago, I got the notion to try doing a "webcast concert", just for fun.  I quickly scrapped the idea, as my internet connection is just too slow (and I'm too cheap to pay for a faster one.)  Anyway, instead I've been trying out another idea:  A weekly music video, a song done by myself or with friends/guests.  So far, I've done four videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCSm6VCE7QE Solo guitar and vocal.  Terrible picture quality, I hadn't yet gotten a real video camera.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm1eTMCa6Wg A song I wrote, done with guitar and three part harmony.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezNOaycmGBM Guitar instrumental
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShdXXK7-f1c A southern Gospel men's quartet, with my brothers-in-law (seriously, this was done while hanging out with the in-laws, these guys are really my brothers-in-law.)  This one sure was a lot of fun!

I'll be posting a new video every Sunday evening (GMT -5:00), until I get tired of it, I guess.  And yes, these videos are all made entirely with AVLinux.

Great, great, great.

What a pleasure to listen, thanks for these moments.

The Don Fransisco song is really cool, I like it a lot, especially how you perform it. Good voice, good playing !

The most I was impressed was "Never seperated from your Love", your friends are doing a perfect chorus job. All in all a fine composition, a very good performance and -as I said- a wonderful chorus (wish I had possibilities like that).

if you don't mind, I will download these two songs, it's a joy to listen to them !

Yours

Nice Stuff Trulan,

Great singing, great picking, I particularly enjoyed the arrangement and performance of 'Great is thy Faithfulness', thanks for sharing!

[trulan]

Thanks guys!
Here's another video, a bit unusual for me because I'm playing not a guitar but a piano, not something I do real often.  Another original song, written in 1999 while I was a student at a small Bible college.  I originally wrote it on the guitar but found that some of the chords really opened up when playing it on piano.

"Let Me Love You" - piano version:

Okay, so the piano isn't perfectly in tune, and this isn't quite 'live', I had to due some creative editing due to my imperfect piano playing...but anyway, here it is.

ah, the "piano tune thing".... I know that. I should have get tuned my acoustic piano since two years or so... I simply forget about it. Ok, but thats not the story, sorry.

A really GREAT performance, it showed again a lot of talent and it brings us a lot of joy, Thank you for that. It made my day.

trulan,

Piano too!? Maybe you should start listing the instruments you don't play...it would be a shorter list

Great job on the performance and well done with the video and recording as well, what Reverb did you use on the vocal?

[trulan]

The reverb is on the master track, so it's on the piano as well as the vocal.  It's IR, with an impulse from a set I found on the web somewhere, from an Alesis Microverb ii.

Here's a video from an early morning men's meeting at our church.  I was in charge of the humor and whatever...But it was a lot of fun.
