Why are you holding your breath? That won't help. 3) Relax. Stop fighting the bear. You two can fight later. 4) Close your eyes. Meditation is less effective if you have toothpicks holding your eyes open. 5) Minimize distractions. Turn off all your sirens and strobe lights.

The word "Aerosol" is a reference to a common hair product delivery method of the 1980s. "Aerosol" can very easily sound like the words "Here is all" or even "There is all". One can effectively hear the title spoken out loud as "Here is all of my Love". But they would be wrong. I don't like the usage of aerosols in applications where there are other delivery methods available. #ClawBangs

Kevin Macleod: http://incompetech.com twitter: @kmacleodpatreon.com/kmacleodCanon in D for Two HarpsKevin MacLeod2020-11-11 | Harpists, by nature, are solitary people who love horses. Getting harpists to play fast together and contour a melodic line is neigh-on impossible. So we have to give all the notes to one person so it doesn't sound like harp hell. But now you need to rest, because plucking like that is insane, so the other person gets the next tough part. You also need to make sure that each part makes sense so you can practice it and not feel like you're throwing your soul down a well. I believe this is the best arrangement of this piece for 2 harps; A thing which should never have been tried. The arrangement itself is in the Public Domain, and sheet music is available.

Kevin Macleod: http://incompetech.com twitter: @kmacleod patreon.com/kmacleodOn Hold for YouKevin MacLeod2020-11-06 | The tenor sax performance in this piece was done by an AI musician. The notes and chords were generated algorithmically (not by an AI). https://sites.research.google/tonetransfer
0:33 there is an amazingly smooth and correct sounding run-up. 0:50 it goes below the actual tenor sax range. I love how it extrapolated down there! 0:58 there's some leak hiss going on at 0:58. I'll call that "artistic license". 1:08 it goes quite a bit above the standard range for a tenor sax, but those notes should be available in altissimo with some fancy fingerings. 2:20 you can almost taste the spit! 2:58 it plays the same note back to back, but changes the tone of the note. Very cool.
This ToneTransfer AI Sax is amazing. Getting this level of detail in a recording with standard virtual instruments is almost impossible. AI for the win!
