Trumpet Recordings featuring Pianoteq and Organteq

Hello Trumpeteq and welcome to the forum!
Enjoyed your playing much. Really great work. Interested first in the one with trumpet and Organteq because I have experimented with other instruments together with Orgtq too. And when I was young, 18, I played the trumpet and 3 years baritone with a youth orchestra, we made a small record, Hooteanny ( and the orchestra, 62 years old, still exists with 175 members!) I like trumpet music and it's not often one can hear it nowdays. Thank you for sharing your talent. I’m waiting for more  It’s an enriching experience for me to hear you playing trumpet. I remember my youth.

Thank you,

Stig

Thanks, budo!  (and Pianoteqenthusiast, too!).  It's a pleasure having great "synthetic" instruments to play with.  I wasn't sure if I could get the ET piece to sound like it did in my head...but it did, maybe even better...a pleasant surprise!

I appreciate the encouragement and will post more small batches in the future!

I've added several new recordings in the last several weeks.  Still using Steinway New York, either the Classical or Prelude version depending on the video, or Organteq in one video.  I hope you enjoy!

Notturno (Borodin) for Trumpet and Piano

Libertango (Piazzolla) for Trumpet and Piano

Nessun Dorma (Puccini) for Trumpet and Piano

We Gather Together (Thanksgiving Hymn, Anonymous) for trumpets and organ (I experimented a little with the organ registrations and think this sounds pretty "church-like")

We Gather Together

Selections from Hook (John Williams) for Brass, Piano, Strings, and Percussion (The Pianoteq contribution to this one is smaller, but I figured I might as well include it!)

Hook

These pieces are ABSOLUTELY superb! Wow! 
Every piece is unique, a highly creative work. And the joyful feeling you bring is unique and precious. My favorite is We gather together ( I love organteq

”A hobbyist trumpet player” - well, to me you are much more, a master at what you are doing, extremely skilled at it, honestly.

Best wishes,

Stig

Thanks for checking my YouTube channel, budo!  The Hook soundtrack is definitely underrated in my book.

Unfortunately, recordings don't record themselves, and I've been busy the last couple of months! I have a recording in progress to share with the community, though...so you can hear how things come together.  Since this is an Organteq forum, the link is cued up to the entrance of the organ in my arrangement...this is Brahms' Academic Festival Overture!

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for taking the time to check it out, budo! 

Yes, it's a lot of time and effort...but much fun at that!  The arrangement is written for 8 trumpets. 2 mellophones (a marching band French Horn), and 4 flugelhorns.  I adapted the full original MIDI score, and I tried to include numerous antiphonal (side-to-side) effects, as the parts are written to be played via either the left or right channel.  (I need to tweak the panning in the recording to make the antiphonal stuff more apparent!  I wrote the arrangement back in November/December over the course of ~8-10 hours.

The recording is spliced together from over 1200 takes (so far!).  I tend to mess up a lot!  Let's just say the recording process has been a long one as well!

And then, because the recordings are still not as good as I want them to be, nearly as much time goes into editing the recordings as it takes to record them in the first place.

So yes, it's a long process.  But, to me, certainly worth it in the end!

<Note: I recently had a computer issue, and my fingers are now crossed that the original DAW (digital audio workstation) file loads properly....or finishing the recording will be much more difficult!>
