So I’m back, and with me are the uploads. This week, the timeless Minuet in G Major but the one and only J.S. Bach .
Not an easy piece, but not so hard. I also believe this is the last recording from the bedroom and builtin microphone. Oh, this is also my own arrangement, but I don’t believe it’s any different from other arrangements out there.
Have Fun!
Ok, so the first thing you can see, I’m out of the bedroom, there’s actually one more video recorded in the bedroom, it was actually recorded before this one but will be released only in September when I come back from my vacation.
Second, you can hear the poor sound, it’s due to the poor conditions I have, since I recorded this, already made more improvements. The final improvements will be when I’ll get the new microphones, so getting better with what I have is also good.
Finally, about the Minuet itself, there’s nothing much to say, its very simple and happy one. I had fun writing it in major after the minor one and they can be played together.
Enjoy and please

Another small and fun little toy, as you can see, still recording using the builtin microphone. But the cables are here, everything is almost working perfectly, there are still few more little things to fix, so stay tuned.

A sweet sweet waltz, still recording using my laptop microphone and every movement counts. But, things are getting better, I got the new cables I’ve ordered and they are working almost perfectly.
I’ve also started to work on new music for guitar and I really hope to start recording with my lutes soon.
Enjoy the music. And don’t forget to Support my Headstart: https://headstart.co.il/project/68673

Yes, it’s true. No more cloud background, no more invisible Omer. We’re going back to video recording as was planned ***9*** years ago. This is the first try, you can see I’m using headphones so I wouldn’t have to listen to background noise, but next week you’ll see I got rid of those too.
You can see there are several issues with the recording, although very minor. That’s because I recorded it using the builtin microphone and Apple Photo Booth. I can’t do much with the audio quality until I get the new cables, but the video seems pretty good. Maybe I can increase the quality a bit more if requested.
I’m learning, and I’m improving. But what I really really want is to record some lute music.
oh, one last thing. I will no longer publish the music sheets. That’s for my next project. Thanks for the understanding.

Well, this is it. I’m back with the guitar according to the changes I promised few days ago. I know, I know, it’s not perfect, there some issues to be solved, and in time I’ll solve every single issue I have.
For start, I’m recording with the built in microphone of my laptop, this causes several issues with the recording (not sure you can hear it, but I can), the microphone is not bad, but it’s not meant for guitar (or lute) I hope to solve this one in the next few weeks by ordering cables for my old audio interface. Easy fix I hope, but costs money.
Second, and again, not sure you can hear it (but I can), I recorded in my bedroom, on my bed. At some point during the recording Miss Bella decided it’s going to be fun to jump on the bed. It moved me and the laptop, it’s a minor interruption. When I get the cables to my Scarlett, I promise not to record from bed again. Hope you understand.
Three, my guitar need some fret work, after 25 years she should get some love too. Unfortunately, this will have to wait for few more months. Work on the lutes going to be expensive and I can’t afford everything at the same time. So in the next few recordings you might hear some fret buzz now and then.
And for last, is the most important issue is my mental health. Although it’s getting much better with each passing month, there’s still a lot to go. It’s going to take some time to get used to record with guitar and lute, you can defiantly hear my stress in this recording (and the next several recordings), I hope the stress reduces, getting more confident and less side effects from my meds as I’m now getting lower dosages.
I want to thank you for your patient and belief.
Unlike other pieces I wrote, this one doesn’t have any tablatures, one can probably play it on a lute although I haven’t done it myself. I like it as Piano piece. Composed at October 20th 2020, recorded at April 21st 2022.
Although the name contains March, this is a Passacaglia. Some might find some common points between the two, but they are much different, keep in mind while playing and keep the pace slow (The recording is in Largo, I wouldn’t go faster than Larghetto)
I really like the way this piece came out and it’s one of my favorites. The scale, the bass, the tempo. It all works out.
So enjoy!
Well, this Waltz wrote itself, really. I like how it turned out, simple and elegant. And there’s nothing more to say about it.
Enjoy!
