Jago Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Greetings! Well, I managed to squeeze in a couple of recordings of myself playing the clarinet. Work hasn't been too stupid lately, and it's also a good way for me to relax...well, once the recording is done. I've forgotten how much of a pain in the ass it is to do live recording, so it took longer than expected, but it was fun in the end. Anyway, here are a couple I made over the past couple of days. The first one comes from etude #2 called Allegro in a book called 32 Studies by C. Rose, and I arranged the pizzicato strings to go with it. The second one is a solo piece originally written for bassoon, which was transcribed later for clarinet, called Rhapsodie by William Osborne. Thanks for listening! http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/qxcl/Jago---C-Rose-32-Studies-no.-2-Allegro http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/ejwz/Jago---William-Osborne-Rhapsodie http://idrs.org/publications/DR/DR13.2/DR13.2.Ewell.Osborne.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jago Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Thanks for the comment, John. Darkesword, I could have sworn that I posted this under Non-Remixes, but with this damn heat in Iraq (120 Fahrenheit), my mind wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cree` Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Wow beautiful stuff! How long have you been playing the clarinet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cree` Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well, it definitely shows! Would love to hear more of your stuff! Record more! Maybe work on a composition of your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jago Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 I definitely have plans to record more stuff. The challenge is to find the time and not melt in this heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cree` Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Haha, how do you manage in Iraq??!?!? Do you have your own recording studio there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jago Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yeah, pretty much any room I can find is my recording studio...seriously. A lot of buildings on this post are heavily damaged. It's a miracle some are still standing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 THIS IS CRAP. Actually, this is really good. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollidayrain Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Wow, great tone! This is some excellent stuff! I'm very impressed with both the recording and the playing; especially, as I just mentioned, your tone, as well as your articulation in the Rose exercise. Keep it up!

Jago Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 Here's another recording I made awhile ago, and I finally got around to post it. It's been busy for me lately, so unaccompanied pieces have been the quickest for me to record. I do plan on doing more with orchestra and possibly a jazz ensemble. Unfortunately in this recording, you can hear in some spots that my reed is about to die, which this very dry, hot weather will do to cane. Nonetheless, it survived long enough for me to play a solo clarinet work by Paul Harvey. It's in three movements, which this one is the first based on I Got Rhythm. It has a contemporary flare to it, but you can clearly hear the main melody. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it. http://boomp3.com/listen/c0di66z48_m/gershwin-i-got-rhythm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue123 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Niiiiiice work. Very emotional playing! And in the military, in Iraq, eh? That must be some feat. Anyway, keep at it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
