This is my first entry, so I'm quite nervous :)
J. S. Bach / J. L. Krebs E-moll Prelude BWV 555.
Played on Johannus Opus 20 using Hauptwerk Software.
Sample set:
Straßburg Organ by Piotr Grabowski (https://piotrgrabowski.pl/strassburg/)
Registration:
HW: Gedackt 8', Flüte 4', Pedal: Subbaß 16', Gedackt 8'
Welcome to the contest! Great playing as well. I can hear background noise in the recording, perhaps you should combine the video and audio (and then mute the camera audio track)?
Can you tell me a bit about how the MIDI stop works on your Johannus? I have that as well but I'm not sure what its purpose is for.
Thanks!
You're right, combining video and audio would definitely improve the quality of sound. I wasn't sure if it's allowed in the contest, I mean, how literally should I understand the rule that the video shouldn't be edited :)
The MIDI stop just enables MIDI on the corresponding keyboard :)
Editing means switching camera angles which breaks the continuous take of the piece. Though you can add a camera angle picture-in-picture if you wanted. Great to see your entry and look forward to your future ones.
PS. Are you on Contrebombarde?
Not yet, but I think I should :D
Combining the sound of Hauptwerk with the video doesn't count as 'editing'. If it was, I would be in violation of that rule in all my entries... :-)
Anyway, great to see a new contestant. The more organists on Hive the better!
And even if the sound was recorded by the videorecording equipment, it sounds actually quite well.
Then I'll record the sound directly from hauptwerk next time, thanks :D!
If only the bench wasn't squeeking and cracking that loud, maybe even leaving it the way i did would do :)
Actually I like the squeeking and cracking. The organ is a big instrument after all and the playing of it makes noise in itself. So it only adds to the atmosphere.
In most recordings I mix in some of the sound of the video-recording. Though not always, when there is too much not-organ related noise in the background. Like in my entry to the contest this week, when my son was playing a computer game...
Enjoyed listening to your playing! Articulation now is much improved.
