excellent. Please moar S:3

thanks man :]

Sounds beautiful, the voices are all played very clearly, as for whether it should be rigid or 'harp like' as you say, I remember reading in a few books on late renaissance/baroque performance like 'L'Art de Toucher le Clavecin' and the original preface of a book of Fantasias (forgot the exact collection/author), where they say that you have to play the notes that are on the beat on the beat, but the notes that aren't should be a bit more free rhythmically (one book compared the motion like that of a pendulum, it always swings at a set time, but as it rises it moves slower and as it falls it moves faster, but always reaching the minimum/fastest point at the same interval), also the first note of every measure (for solo pieces) was held a little longer than usual, but I think that that's particular to harpsichords, as they couldn't alter the dynamics, so rhythmic variety was more important.
Again, a delightful performance!

thanks for the kind words and insight! :D

You're more than welcome, thanks for putting up such a great interpretation of the music!

This! Rigid is for robots.

yes yes!

yes yes YESSSSS

Wonderful! I love the tuned guitar. It is a very good choice.
Which brings me to yet another question: Are you familiar with John Renbourn (also know as a part of the band Pentangle)? Once again, I have little doubt that you are... But otherwise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEy-tPyy-vw

That's a lovely song =D

hell yeah, man!! i'm definitely more familiar with his work in the pentangle than any solo work he's done though.

Sounds nice. Makes me wanna play classical now =D

Jejejejejeje!! =D polifasetic Artis, aren't you? really really nice =3

thank ya!

your welcome =D

I think I prefer the less rigid style. It's more fitting with the time period. If it were written a hundred years later it might be a different story.

i tend to agree!

this one is great too but i find the tudor slightly more lyrical
as for your qUESTIONI
often when I play baroque sort of things I go overboard with the rolls. I'm not sure why. something spanish in me? but my teacher hounded me into practicing playing notes at the exact same time
so whipped

but yeah
what i love about baroque is the little trills and curlicues you can put in of your own accord... ababh beautiful beautiful

baroque and renaissance (especially renaissance) just seems to lend themselves to rolling and ornamentation somehow

Art your not allowed to play guitar too. Your drawing ability already makes you enough of a stud. D: give us other guys a chance here!

oops ok i'll smash it right now

Noooo smashing your guitar just makes you look like a hot bad ass rebel! D:< Can't you do anything not hot?!

Sooo pretty!

Soothing.

^_^

Man, I wish I knew more about music.

For what it's worth, they both song quite pretty to me :3

that's all that matters! :]

Can't wait to get back and hear the live performance

let's practice our flute duet too HAR HAR HAR HAR HARRRR

DUDE. This is so SO ace! I'd say keep it loose to keep it fresh! Leave the rigid for all the technical electric stuff, acoustic is more about feeling anyways. :)

Also, what acoustic are you playing in this? It's NICE. I definitely need to work on getting myself an acoustic.

thanks man!
it's just some cheapo nylon by dean, it probably sounds nice because i mastered the hell out of the tracks hah! fiddling with maximizers, equalizers, compressors, etc, trying to bring out every frequency, it's almost as fun playing the songs themselves

Good on you then haha, I'm not so hot with mastering, otherwise I'd probably enjoy it as much as my finished products.

Lovely!

Nice. I'd much rather listen to this than the junk played on the radio these days.

Theses pices are so so short.. Beautiful yes. but I would love to hear long picese in this style if you may do it ^^ makes nice music to listen to and just relax..

it's hard to find lute pieces that are more than a minute and a half (at least, i haven't found many), though i do have one saved that i'm still practicing, it's sort of a variations on a theme so it's kind of repetitive heh

Yeah I know what you mean.. Finding any pices from way way back then is very difficult. And don't say "What about beetoveen or bach, I mean this is WAY before even there time.. I always liked everything ere of the renaissance. Including music. O.o HMM I know lutes are hard to find music for but im curious, Have you ever tried to play the leanthier tunes ment for a Harpschord?

i haven't even found any of those, from that era at least. like you said, it's easy to find bach harpsichord stuff written for guitar. i've tried most of his inventions, they are TOUGH!
but yeah, i'd love to find more, varied lute stuff

I like to listen to stuff that doesn't make me say "oh, this song reminds me of this other song from this onther band", because of this, my music library is getting bigger and bigger every month or so...

Therefore, this performace of yours is very nice, it's so simple and calm but at the same time it's very lovely...I would love to listen to more of this, yes.

Also, I used to improvise a lot when I played the flute as part of the music band from my school.

Whenever it was the 30 minutes break I would stay on my chair or stand up and lean agains the wall and start to play and play whatever and however I wanted, It was the best time that I felt like having a moment for myself instead of following rules and simple circles on paper sheets.

cool, man, thank you!!

lute tuning is E A D F# B E
:3

Excellent!

Guitars are cool, cause they're like little wooden pianos with strings instead of keys!

I like your style of playing. I'd suggest doing it how you naturally like.

word man, thanks kindly :]

That was beautiful !

thanks so much! :3
