I'm surprised that more than 5000 of you are interested in watching some guy messing around on the clarinet. Despite my very infrequent videos nowadays, I am very, very grateful for it! :D
In order to commemorate this great historic event that will surely be remembered for centuries to come, I decided to make this 120% serious video. I mean, this is definitely my magnum opus. Forget Unravel, Leia, Senbonzakura, We Wish You a Merry Christmas etc., this blows them all outta the water with my impeccable tone and beautiful phrasing. The listener is transported to a fantastical faraway land in which he/she is gently rowing a boat up a stream while eating some impossibly delicious hot cross buns.
Different recording place because the Oscars were also happening (finally, no more Leo memes). Headphones and mouthpiece were also different from usual--no doubt those contributed to the hundredfold-improved sound and mix quality!
Anyways, hope you enjoyed, see you next time! ^_^;

Clarinet cover of an awesome Miku Hatsune song. Sorry about the ending, the camera died :(
Set in the rather annoying key of Db+ (concert B major), which is a bit too hard to do by ear =)

Headphones and 720p for the best sound!
After having some problems with my current rig, I thought it would be a good time to try out some new gear. So I went to the music store today and rented a truckload of equipment :) Well, more like 3 mics, a bunch of XLR cables, an Avid USB interface, and a stand, but anyway... XD
0:00 Behringer B1 condenser (my current mic)
1:10 Audio Technica AT4040 condenser
2:20 Shure SM7b dynamic
3:30 AKG C214 condenser
Only effects used were compression, reverb, and a low cut around 30 Hz on the master track
Its not the most scientific of tests, cause I dont have an interface that can accept 4 inputs simultaneously, but I tried to keep my setup as consistent as possible. Just try to ignore my sloppy playing :P
Tbh, for mics that cost 2 to 3 times as much as my current one, the improvements were really, really small XD What do you guys think? (Ill refrain from giving my opinion to keep you unbiased) ^_^")

Gorgeous opening from a gorgeous anime, and as such I just had to do this! Jun Maeda kicks so much ass considering how big a part he plays in the production of all these awesome series ^ ^
Being the piano noob that I am, I obviously cant play this piece as well as this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SOIcE-tugY (nor do I do the piece any justice), but I do think Im slowly getting there.
Sheets can be found over at Joshs site.")
