Track Stand, Matched Third Party Content

I've been working on an arrangement of a Vivaldi piece over a few years - finally got something listenable and posted it on youtube. Now youtube's comment on my page is:

So what's the downside? No bare naughty bits in the video, so I'm not going to get a lot of viewers. Monetization seems to screw up the video with crap text.

Bicycle Descent of Paris Mountain, the steep side

Paris mountain is about a half hour bike ride from here. It's not huge by real mountain standards, but it's difficult enough to weed out half of the riders in the US Pro Road Bike championships for the last few years. The pros go up the steeper side; you can see why in the twisty turning nastiness on the video. I took a tumble a few years ago - luckily it was into a row of arbor vita trees. This descent was in November - still gorgeous colors but the leaf cover makes you careful.

The music - 

The main instrument is the LKSM-12 tuned down a step, but it's heavily modified through the Caps audio plugin suite. I'm starting to like these plugins by Tim Goetze  a lot. The soundtrack lacked something, so last night I just jammed over it with a 6 string electric (‎Mike McMillan's old Harmony 6 string with a single Telco pickup). Add some overdrive and reverb plugins and it almost sounds like I can play a rock guitar.

Collaborate

I wanted to add some drum tracks to my soundtracks (my Youtube Channel is here ). Hydrogen Drum Machine is a nice application, but I wanted a more "live" sound. I found Herl the Pearl on Youtube and grabbed the #2 video that he kindly offers for collaboration attempts. My video came out pretty good...just a few rhythmic flubs on my part. But I can't find Herl the Pearl anymore. He seems to have stopped posting a couple of years ago.

If he's out there, thanks Herl - I enjoyed the jam session and hope others will. Here it is:

I'm having some fun this winter adding soundtracks to some of the video I shot from a bicycyle.
Here's one that has a lot of fast cuts and video effects (via OpenShot Video Editor). The sound track is a lot of electric guitar, and some simulated brake and wind noises. The camera came loose from the mounting about half-way down the hill, and I had to keep adjusting it; I think it adds a certain excitement to the shots.

Hogback mountain is not the scariest descent - but it does rank high in technical ability, at least for my skill level.

Here's the video: Descent of Hogback Mountain

It was a chilly day for me - anything below 60 F is chilly for me - check out the lobster gloves.
