Claire de Lune – Three Degrees of Pitch Modulation

Berlin_Surfguitar — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 15:30:05 +0000

For the people who like a wobbly g-string on their guitar to play more expressive I have three versions of the wonderful tune Claire de Lune by turn of the 19th/20th century composer Claude Debussy.

The first is a theremin version with the ultimate degree of pitch modulation.

The second is a violin version with the moderate pitch vibrato that the movement of the left hand permits.

The third and last version is played on harmonica and for me is the winner in the emotion (and sound) department.

So in conclusion: there’s more to an emotional sound than shaky pitch.

BP Oil Mixed with Corexit

A very quick and simple test to see what the practise of BP did to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Update:

According to this journalist the spraying of corexit ist still continuing at this point (video uploaded September 17th 2010). He also reports on the consequences for the area residents.

In case you are not aware, what goes into the foodchain stays in the foodchain. There is no other place to go.

Surfguitar 101 Convention 2010

Berlin_Surfguitar — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 20:26:30 +0000

I only heard good things about this years Surfguitar 101 convention out in California.

Here is the Surfguitar 101 YouTube playlist of the event.

This time german band The Space Rangers made an appearance there as a stop on their California tour. The band hails from Ulm and on guitar is Muck who played rhythm guitar on one tour with my old band The Looney Tunes. On that tour I borrowed him my Musima Eterna DeLuxe as he only owned a Steinberger headless and a jazz-box. It’s great to see him finally sporting a Jaguar. I knew the Surf-bug bit him when he started doubling my lead on Miserlou during one of our shows, and checking out the playlist from the convention I reckon his new band plays old showstoppers from the Looney Tunes setlist The Swingin’ Creeper (as it is tradtionally called in Germany, elsewhere known as Nightstick*, A Go-Go Dancer**, Kickstand*** by The Ventures) and Stampede. Talk about keeping the torch on fire.

Surfin’ Maumau

I recently dubbed my old track Surfin’ Maumau to the visuals of a silent homemovie taken in 1964. It looks like a family outing to the beach with very small waves and everybody surfing to the best of their abilities on period longboards. Lowkey, but I think it’s beautiful.
