I even helped him out a little with some zoom lessons on accordion basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Before Christmas, we hit on a challenge of making a little collaboration together where he would lead, I would accompany and the goal would be to make a video together.  He chose the song (Moon River) which is a lovely little piece.  Since then, we&#8217;ve both been a bit busy and I just had a full 30 minutes to look over the piece, play it through 2 times and make a recording of the music today so we finally have a start to the project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I set it up where I used 4 tracks, 2 for a stereo track of the BK-7m (basically the backing track for him to practice with), and 2 for a very basic accordion track (I&#8217;ll be using individual mono tracks per instrument moving forward), so that Tom could hear where the accordion starts and stops.  I did that because I used an intro and ending in the backing tracks and for some if you do not hear it, can be a touch confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"565\" height=\"743\" src=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-15-at-4.02.21-PM-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1738\" srcset=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-15-at-4.02.21-PM-1.png 565w, http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-15-at-4.02.21-PM-1-228x300.png 228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">After doing a fast render of the 2 files, I emailed them to Tom.  This is what I sent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moon River with basic accordion melody:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Moon-River-All-Jerry.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moon River just the backing track:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Moon-River-BackTrack.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">There is absolutely no timeframe or rush for this project, it is just something fun to do and enjoy.  Ultimately, the goal is for us to make a small video together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As it advances, I will post more info here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Addendum February 24, 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I finally completed it and Tom liked the final result enough that he posted it to his YouTube channel and on the accordion forum.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Originally Tom used his Piatanisi acoustic accordion, so I used my Roland digital one, but Tom wanted to make a few changes.  In the next video he switched to his digital accordion, so I moved to the acoustic.  This was not planned or even discussed, but I just wanted that aspect of different generations and styles of accordions to be in the video.  The Hohner Imperator V served well in this case&#8230; and I&#8217;ll call this a success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/mymusic\/files\/MoonRiver.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom and Jerry making a video?
