Docjazz4’s “Are you an ocarina guru” contest: my entry

This is my entry to Docjazz4’s “Are you an ocarina guru” contest, and my interpretation of “I have a bonnet trimmed with blue”. The last parts (not on the original score) are mine.

I recorded it live, in one pass, with a kind of loopstation. This device replays the last played part adlib, and new parts can be overdubbed. So I begin by composing a backing track, then play the song on it.

After the recording, I mixed the song: panned the backing tracks to get a stereo song, added a small reverb, and a bit of compression to polish.

The ocarinas are a Mountain Ocarinas Warmstone G and Polycarb C. The percussions are… you’ll see :-)

The intro is done in esperanto, since my english is, well… what it is…
