Cl. Inh. VII
Working on the opening piece of music for what will become the album C. E. VII, my upcoming album serie of seven albums (C. E. I-VII); my grand-guitar and/or symphony orchestra/choir only, with up to 7 hours of music. Planned release, in 2028.
This piece of music is composed for male choir only: tenor, baritone and bass.
Hm, in my mind, it sounds very ... clumsy playing it on the guitar, compared to how it sounds with that male choir in my head. Well well ... I’ll get there (Y)

One little snippet of my work for my next solo project: a piece of music for a church organ (with a very "soft" sound), a choir boy and the Arabian lute; oud. In this video I’m playing the "basic" organ arr. (also writing arr. for foot bass pedals on the organ; one bass pedal in C#, and the other foot pedal with some baryton voicings arr.). The oud phrases in this video are the real deal, recor...

Perfect Saturday, really. Drinking my mega-size coffee while working with music for my next solo project: a choir-piece of music, together with a solo oud (arabian lute) in tremolo expression. The banjos in the video substitutes the choir arrangements. That trem. oud you hear in the video is "the real" deal; I recorded that oud this summer. Well, a rough and raw video, but with heart ...

Just juggling around with some ideas of mine for my next solo album. I recorded that oud (in the background) a few weeks ago. Uuuuh .... Crowded space and Nikita is watching close up. Just ... relax.
Warming up before recording session with the oud lute

From my recent day in the studio; warming up for a recording session for my next solo project, playing the oud. Despite the fact that I had a slightly fever, headache and a stiff neck, I managed to get my hands and mind straight and truly ... ’play’ from my heart. It ended up in a 35 minutes long take, of improvisations in mix with three composed themes. Symphonic structures will be added later...

      Hi, David. Well, the scale length is from G subcontra octave up to c in forth octave, depending on the tuning system. The mensur on the 7-stringed part (saddle to bridge) is 21'21''. My grand-was custom made in the early 90s, in commission by me. My "main ax" since -98. I have released a bunch of solo albums, my music based on that guitar, with Morgan Ågren, Steve Hunt etc in the line-up. Robert

    @tarkenton3895 2 місяці тому

    I've always been curious; does whatever is in the neck pickup position actually function as a pickup? It just seems very recessed into the body to me.

    • @robertritchiesse
      @robertritchiesse 2 місяці тому

      Hi ... No, it’s is not a pickup. It’s a hole after the neck pickup. I removed that pickup years ago. Why? Because I used that pickup less and less over the years, to finally not using the neck pickup at all. And by removing that pickup, I got rid of some ot the hum in the out signal (passive pickups), hence the pickups where so tightly positioned to each other - and they are so big. But! I talked to the luthier, not long ago, who made my guitar in the 90s. The plan is to "fill" that hole, and extend the fretboard - next year or so. By doin‘ this, I can reach up to the ’double high c’, as the highest c on a grand piano. "No problem", the luthier said. And that octave will be very useful, especially when I’ll work on music by Arvo Pärt in a few years from now. But first thing first; working on my next solo project: six albums with my grand guitar and symphonic arrangement. Planned release .... 2027? 2028? (That is what the video snippet above is about; my next project.) R. R.
