Everyone knows this song probably...



Enjoy!

Joost

Very nicely done, indeed ...

Fantastic!

Gary

Very good - really enjoyed listening to that.
And, what a great style - such a pity that Yamaha don't do more song specific styles - that was one of the great strengths of Technics.

Here's a link to a completely different rendition of "House of the rising sun".
http://www.kn7000.net/downloads/Brian_Thompson/Brian_Thompson-The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun.mp3

This was originally recorded on a Technics KN2000 in 1993 and sounds were updated to KN7000 sounds afterwards.

Brian plays this so gently and builds it as he progresses and I feel that his style of playing and the sounds he uses give it quite a haunting atmosphere.
I love it.
Tony

Tony,

If you want a song-specific, Yamaha style for House Of The Rising Sun, just email me and I'll send it to you.

Gary

More, Tostie......I want to hear more. Brilliant !!!

Thanks Gary, your offer is much appreciated, but I already have the style (60's Rising Pop) on my T4 - I was just making the point that I, (and probably many more) would like Yamaha to produce more song specific styles such as this, as Technote did for the Technics range of boards.
Tony

Dang, Tostie, that's good! Love the organs. What a great song! Did you know that is an old folk song? The Animals did not write it. Just make up some words along with chord progression and all is alright!

Joost, another outstanding rendtion & improvsition ya.
Sorry I couldn't voice chat with you on Skype very long earlier today, but now I know why you were so anxious for me to see it.
Definitely one of your very best.
I loved your fresh improvisational arrangement approach (starting off solo piano & adding auto accomp & other instrument voices later)
plus your uncanny ability to pull it off so well simply utilizing Yamaha's factory style & OTS settings. See ya on Skype soon. - Scott

Very nice!

Thank you all for the kind comments :-)

Tony, really liked the approach and level of musicianship. Some of the sounds could be updated again, but, all in all, a really good piece of work!

Russ

Brian's version, while quite different is interesting and also very well done ...

Joost, I am impressed once again. Terrific arrangement and very fine playing, indeed.

You can really showcase the Tyros4...you should be doing it professionally.

Ian

Wow! That is fantastic! I really like the alternate chord progression that you put in that I never heard on the Animal's version.

You showed a lot of mastery of the different voices, making each one sound authentic.

That's what I was thinking too.

Great performance Joost,
Your Tyros4 sounds great. Happy playing, Telmo.

Thank you all for the kind comments, much appreciated :-)

Bill's comment about 'making up some words' made me think of an arrangement I heard several years ago ... I put this together today ... I apologize in advance for the flubs, lack of balance, and other errors ... I just wanted you to get an idea of the improv ...
Since I couldn't get the 'File Manager' function to work (no doubt MY fault, not anyone else's), you can find the file here ...

Very clever arrangement Tony!

Nice arrangments from all...

There is a house in New Orleans
(do you know what type of house it really is?)

I don't think it's a DOG - house ... but maybe a ... ...

And Larry, ... not to steal this thread, but, speaking of doghouse, who are the #1 residents of fans' doghouse in Philly these days?!? ...

... and THANK YOU, Ian and Larry ...

OK Tony, it's a down year for the Birds, but we still love beating the Giants. (6 straight entering this year)
