David Wright), has been resting in my drawer for a long time waiting for me to come up with a good idea. In the process of chasing for an original videoclip (without any success) I figured out that showing the entire process for making a video would have been a subject itself. I think that this might give you an hint of what is behind multitracking, at list in my hands.Where is the boy (Tag) - Barbershop Multitrack + Face morph effectMirko Conti (Mirk0)2013-09-04 | Enjoy this little video multitrack on a tag which is part of the classic barbershop tag book.

I happened to be called by Jan, the bass, when the baritone part was missing and therefore my part was recorded at that time, together with the video. From then on many multitrackers have attempted to record the missing parts and sometime, when they succeeded they retreated for some reason. Just recently Jan and me got to know Jonathan, the tenor who kindly accepted to be part of the project and after the very last surprise of the switching of the lead in the last weeks we finally made it thanks to Dan, my Swedish friend who learned his part at the speed of light. This song might not be perfect in quality and the singers not famous but it's the dream of an international collaboration on an amazing song coming true. A Special thank goes to Dan Wright (danwright32) who provided the midi learning tracks. Here we give you a crazy difficult barbershop tune.

It has been quite a while now that we couldn't gather in his garage and rock the house but we didn't give up. After many years of independent music practice we finally met back in the net with the intention to get some more fun and to give you this nice old "doo wop" song by Greg Philinganes sung in the 80's movie "Streets Of Fire"

Note: all the instruments are fake, We just draw those on us and with some tedious video tracking function we did those move with us.

Julie and MirkoMLK - a cappella multitrack collaborationMirko Conti (Mirk0)2012-10-19 | This is the first collab for Julie and Mirko, spanning two countries. (Julie is from the US, and Mirko from Italy, currently residing in Sweden.) The two have never met, but have become connected through the YouTube a cappella community.
This is their version of MLK as sung by Vocal Spectrum. The tune originates from the band U2.
From Wikipedia: "MLK" is the tenth and final song from U2's 1984 album, The Unforgettable Fire. A lullaby to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., it is a short, pensive piece with simple lyrics. It was because of this song, along with "Pride (In the Name of Love)", another tribute to King, that earned Bono the highest honor of the King Center, an organization founded by Coretta Scott King.

Featuring The Four FrogsMirko Conti (Mirk0)2012-07-27 | This tune has a strange history because it came to my attention as one of Trudbol favourites. We have been putting down the four parts practically simultaneously but with some slight differences in few chords. I cannot compare the two results because of the evident differences between an amateur like me and "The Master Of Barbershop Multitracking on the Tube". But I wanted to give it a try anyway and...here is the result. Enjoy!!!
P.S. Many thanks to Julien (Trudbol) for inspiring the most funny hobby in the world.Il Libro della Giungla-La canzone degli avvoltoi (Jungle Book-The vultures song)Mirko Conti (Mirk0)2012-05-27 | Disney's animated film spread almost all over the world and each country has got his own version of famous dialogues and Soundtracks . "That's what friends are for", in the Italian version of the vultures song from the cartoon "Jungle Book" sounds more or less like : Siamo tuoi amici (We are your friends). I here propose an Italian four parts version from FRED's arrangement (the jungle book medley; pure barbershop with a classic tag). The video multitrack was inspired by the vultures choreography but is strictly connected to the meaning of the Italian lyrics. If I would literally translate the lyrics back to English it would go like this: We are here, here for you, we are the friends that are good for you. If you want someone with you, someone who pulls you up when you are down And when you are sad and eager to confide to someone, here we are!! And don't get desperate if you're bored, here we are! You will face the adversity because you know we are on your side, Friends like us no one can do without , we love every creature. Now you know, we are truly friends and you can remain in the jungle as long as you like, because we are here , with you.Old Folks at Home - Barbershop MultitrackMirko Conti (Mirk0)2012-04-13 | "Old Folks at Home" (also known as "Swanee Ribber" or "Suwannee River") is a minstrel song written by Stephen Foster in 1851. An 1887edition for male quartet (TTBB) contains some possible hints of the crossover influences that were shaping the contours of close harmony at that time.
I here propose a much modern rendition by FRED. Hope you enjoy it. I actually would like to dedicate it to the memory of the place where my family and me belong.The Berkeley SquareTag MultitrackMirko Conti (Mirk0)2012-02-23 | Combine the obsession for barbershop (I'm an absolute beginner) and video editing tricks ( thanks to the thousands of tutorials) and that's what you get.

In 2000, the song was included in the popular soundtrack for the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? The movie brought the song to a modern audience. The version in the film, sung by Harry McClintock, includes the original references to "cigarette trees," "streams of alcohol," and the lake of whiskey as well (Wikipedia). HP commercial inspired us for the video composition.
The background music is "Blister in the Sun" featuring by "Nouvelle Vague".

This time I decided to let them be part of the project (They are the Soap Bubbles) and here you can see how much fun they had !
This is a version slightly revised from the 2006 Max Q's CD: "For the Children", an outstanding job from one of my favourite barbershop quartets.

Still without my equipment = bad video and audio quality...good excuse ah? ; )Heart of My Heart - Barbershop MultitrackMirko Conti (Mirk0)2011-09-27 | The Story of the rose (Heart of my heart) (Andrew Mack-1899) is practically an anthem for barbershop singers. It is the song I sang for my audition to be accepted in a fantastic Swedish choir: The Entertainmen. I sang it as Baritone with 3 amazing singers of the choir and that's why, I guess, they took me in ; ) . Here is my "single" version, hope you'll consider the effort since I have not yet recovered my equipment for recording so, forgive the low quality video and audio.-Mr Lonely- The Slugs ParodyMirko Conti (Mirk0)2011-09-09 | If anyone of you watched "Flushed Away" then it will be clear where this parody came out.

Place: Seregno-Brianza-North of ItalyRun Run Run Barbershop Tag electric shaver tunedMirko Conti (Mirk0)2010-03-28 | In this classic tag the tenor and the bass sing the same note (different scale) in the first and in the second half of the song, respectively . Therefore I thought : Why don't they help each other with the buzzing of my electric shaver?I didn't manage to synchronize properly the switch of shaver between tenor and bass Too much time consuming! Enjoy the experimentHello Mary Lou - Italian Barbershop QuartetMirko Conti (Mirk0)2010-03-07 | In the 60's in Italy we used to translate almost every song coming from abroad.
