Messing around with the coronet
this is a fun video I made. I basically played some licks on this coronet I own and chopped it up a bunch to make this video. Every time I look at the video, I think I look like Jeff Tweedy from wilco. Its mostly about the hair and sport coat. I don't think I look as strung out as him though. lol. No offense Jeff, you write great music, but you you do look a little pasty. So every now and again I bust out this coronet and play some stuff on it. I will also put a mute in and play it for the yoga classes that teach. I will play something chill with long meditative tones in it. I am better with a trombone, when it comes to brass. I like the slide action and I can read music with the trombone, whereas I can't with the trumpet, but I can improvise on the trumpet. I enjoy some of the dynamic motion that is created in the edits of this video. When I repeat some of the quick bits it forms a nice visual motion. Anyway, probably by today's standards it is low fi. And I am cool with that. I like my stuff to have some character and not be completely polished. I think when stuff is too polished it is boring. But on the other hand when something is too rough it gives me a headache or can be annoying.
