[Project] Tuba: "Lonesome Road" (Epic Low Tuba Video #2)

One of things I love about [Project] Tuba is this new series allows me to explore many different facets of my music making. Today's video is one I've been looking forward to putting together for a while.

I am always inspired by the human voice and it constantly inspires me to be a better instrumentalist. Some of you may have watched Tim Storms' INCREDIBLE vocal range on "Lonesome Road"...he holds the Guinness World Record for lowest sung note. When I watched this video I was blown away by his earth shattering range, and of course unsurprisingly my first thought was, "I WANNA PLAY THAT ON TUBA" lol. You can watch the original video that inspired this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtAltg0ZIrY

I went a little over the top for this video, but I really wanted it to look and sound special. 🎥I recorded three different camera angles so you can have a little insight into the process, as well as the microphone recording process that went into it.🎥 Since Tim Storms used a close up microphone, I felt it was most authentic to do the same on tuba.

The "tongue pedal" is an odd technique that honestly has extremely limited use, I call it a "parlor trick" more than anything. But because of the unique recording techniques I used for this video, I am able to unlock it's potential a little for something that looks a little funny, but hopefully sounds pretty cool. 😀

I HIGHLY, highly recommend headphones for this one. You won't get the effect properly (it basically sounds a little like a church organ) unless you use headphones...

***For this [Project] Tuba I also made a separate, isolated tuba audio for the true tuba nerd that wants to hear just the tuba part***: https://youtu.be/JEn4N1NwraE
Hope you enjoy!
