In addition to recording “Black Orpheus”, it was a good month – more radio station support, including making Montreal campus/community station CKUT’s top 5 for the week of January 21.
J’ai aussi lancé ma deuxième vidéo au sujet de l’harmonie:
Lastly I had a great time playing a lunchtime gig at the Rocket Bakery and Cafe on Water St. in St. John’s yesterday (Jan 31). Looking forward to more exciting activity in February.
Here’s a solo classical guitar interpretation of the Luiz Bonfa classic: https://soundcloud.com/sundar-subramanian/manha-de-carnaval-black-orpheus
J’ai commencé une série de vidéos au sujet de l’harmonie, vu que le Conservatoire Royal n’a pas de livres en français. La 1re, c’est une introduction générale: c’est quoi, le solfège? Comment est-ce qu’on apprend l’harmonie? Pourquoi est-ce qu’on se concentre sur les chorals de Bach?
Recorded this version of the Mancini standard “Days of Wine and Roses” about a week ago, after a couple of rounds of feedback from Matt Warnock; stretched out a bit (click on the link below)
Just arranged and recorded this interpretation of Ornette Coleman’s “Peace”: https://sundarsubramanian.bandcamp.com/track/peace
I released this new free EP for Halloween yesterday: https://sundarsubramanian.bandcamp.com/album/toccata-and-fugue-state-halloween-2024
It features an electric guitar arrangement of Bach’s famous organ Toccata from BWV 565, as well as a new piece of spooky sound effects made with extended guitar techniques.
Thanks to Sean McFee, who hosted Studio J Jukebox on CKCU (93.1 FM in Ottawa) yesterday morning for playing my version of “Footprints” in the midst of an excellent programme.
