Tunes and Trinkets Update

Well, it's 9:30 at night, I've only JUST gotten back to my computer, I've managed to get through re-writing my GED Math without throwing up or panicking and just now I'm having a snack size supper (Chinese takeout). Can you guess who's tired? 
On the plus side, at least I can now focus on more important things like Ocarina recording and GlitzSis listing. (Just kidding, math is very important, no matter how much we don't like it or how much it doesn't like us)

Tally-Ho! Onward for the sake of Art!......(and making some moneyz) :)

Later, A.M.   

Cherry Blossom Shower from Okami

Oy Vey Have things been touch and go around here this last week! 
*sigh* At least I can still get a once-a-weekend post done. 

So I do hope you enjoy!
btw: This goes out to a Buddie of mine on The Ocarina Network, OcarinaFlutist, Sorry for making you wait so long to listen to this! :( 

And as I said before I am seriously contemplating doing a duet version of this but GED test time is coming up next week and I swore to myself "NO Ocarina Recording until AFTER test time!" 
However, it doesn't mean I can't practice in between math study and GlitzSis item listing. ;D (cheeky little me!)
Later! A.M.

Castle in the Sky on Dragon Tooth Ocarina.

I was and still am particularly please with how this performance turned out. Enjoy!

Oh... by the way, GlitzSis is moving to Etsy.com. The work is slow but steady so don't forget to stop by every now and then! Go Here if you're interested!

And I've been having loads of fun with polymer clay over the last week. 
Check back here later on if you're curious to see what I and my sis have been making! Later A.M.  

Multiple chambered Ocarinas

As promised in "Ocarina Styles" I'll go over what I like to call "Monster Ocarinas". 
These are the big dogs of the Ocarina world, from modestly sized to insanely gargantuan in proportion!

Now for those of you who know very little or are very new to the Ocarina world, multiple chambered ocarinas are......well....... think like a harmonica! Only instead of more than a dozen little single note chambers to blow into you have only 2 or more multi note chambers. 

See?






The Double.        

The Triple.

The elusive Quadruple.

You can even get double chambered Pendants!

[NEW]
for reading this far, I'll give you a little bonus: Meet the multi-chambered ocarinas cousin, the Haucca! You have the two chambers that you play melody and harmony on and then you have a 3rd 'drone' chamber. Think like how bagpipes sound..... but less like a cat yelling for help.... XD
 












And a relatively new comer to the multi chambered family The "Songbird double sprouted Harmonic Ocarina" The 2 chambers are tuned 1 octave apart from each other.

       






 












Well I hope you had fun with the brief gloss over the big ocarinas. See you next time! A.M.


On a side note.

 yeah..... don't we wish. >_<

One Piece on Ocarina

  

 

These are 2 are projects that have been sitting on the proverbial shelf for....oh.... a year or so.... -_-"

 And since you're all such good bunch of little blog readers I'll give you 2 videos for the bandwidth of....... 5...... life with poor high-speed in a low spot in the middle of nowhere can be depressing sometimes. 

Anyway, I just kinda slapped these 2 together just cause I wanted to finish them so they JUST pass my quality check and yes the pitch in the 16th ending is different from the original but it's that way for 2 reasons.
1: It's the only karaoke version I could find.
2: It seemed to work better with my F soprano..... 
Se la vi.

Later! A.M.  

Princess Mononoke on Ocarina

I know I usually only upload this song on my Birthday but I made this only vid 3 months ago so I'm NOT waiting another whole bloody year to upload this!

FYI: This remake of Mononoke Hime is the song that made me start my blog in the first place. I know I shouldn't use the backtrack I chose but I'm not the only one who does things like this. Who knows, maybe a year from now I'll make something even better!....... maybe....

Next post? One Piece!! :D

Yoshi's Island Lullaby from SNES On ocarina

Enjoy (for the 3rd time) Yoshi's Island lullaby remade.

All I know is people sure like this song..... maybe 'cause it's so cute!

..... For some reason, I don't have my hand-typed Ocarina tabs on my computer.... >x< 
Fortunately I can salvage some of them from My old You-Tube Video descriptions.
So here you are! They are number tabs so you know.

So you know I'm the one who figures out how to play it and do the tedious job of Writing this stuff down. I'd still do it but it's a lot of work and I just don't have time anymore.
 
Enjoy and Happy playing. ^^

For 12 hole Ocarina:  If you see this: _# That mean it's played on the right hand (Lower) side. If you see this -# Means it's played on the left hand (Higher) side. If you see this # that mean a sharp & this *** means to hold for that number of counts.

*Note* _4 and _3 are the 2 extra sub holes.
