Monday Morning Butterflies

Here is a recording I made on Friday afternoon in my studio.

[flv:090703-Butterflies.flv 475 267]

You can download the full-size HD (720p) video here. The video file is a little under 400MB in size. The sound in the download-video is 320kbps mp3, and the above streamer is 160kbps.

You can also download the full 24/88.2 sound recording (((without the visual, of course))) here – about 180MB.

    Have listened to this about ten times. It’s still AMAZING.

    There seems to be no difference between the amount of “air” that the 96k files have and this 88.2k file has. Seems that a point of diminishing marginal returns has been reached at 88.2k.

    You and your guitar make quite the duo – unbelievable how clean your playing (especially that trémolo) is, and the guitar clearly plays well with a beautiful tone. The more I play guitar, the more I realize how difficult both of those are.

    Thanks all. Glad you enjoy it. I am thinking about doing more “private performances” like that one and also have more ideas for video angles.

    Steve: yes, mathematically the diff between 24/88.2 and 24/96 is minor, and the main advantage is that the conversion to CD/mp3 quality (16/44.1) is much easier and should be more accurate.

    Love the reflection of the candles on the guitar which complements the music so nicely. Have played the video a few times but this time with head phones and WOW, takes my breath away.

    Ottmar, your music is gentle, beautiful, romantic, sweet and powerful in a quiet way. I want to say “Thank You” for sharing this. I had a front row seat…perfect!
    p.s. I will be playing this several times again…it’s just too beautiful to just listen and watch only once.

    Aside from the music, my favorite part is when you are finished and place your hand quietly on the guitar. It feels like the video almost stops, but instead is a nice pause and the place where the music actually ends.

    I agree with Luz,
    the reflection of the candles on the guitar introduce an additional sense in tune with the music. I have a hard time concentrating just on the music, just on the video. I am taking in this experience with multiple senses. Very nice!
