This is an old revision of the document!
Schubert Dubbed
Golo hated Schubert's music, Gívan gave up on the trumpet teacher forcing in a Schubert piece. Listening to Die Schöne Mullerin and Die Winterreise we were arriving at Der Leiermann. We were listening to this fantastic interpretation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pze4NxCOjg0
After some initial uneasiness giving up our former resentments we agreed to work on this composition for a little while. Each our own way of course. For me from minimal to maximal, with the combination of perfect fifths and fourths, in three parts separating piano and singer themes, to bring them back together with what Golo will come up with, hmmm… it will work it won't work but it will certainly be different than what I am telling here…
Funny enough, somehow within in an evening our attitude towards Schubert had changed (at least about that piece haha!).
The PN#0 version
So the first idea is to split the composition in 3 parts, and work on each segment separately:
- 1] E+A bass chords
- 2] the piano solo theme
- 3] and the singer's theme
It's just a beginning. More to follow later, differently, but what I tried is to play the E+A sounds on several instruments that are around like an old piano, an old tuba, an old baskřidlovka, my family's Saint-Hubert hunting horn, an old harmonium, all in their own state of tuning. Finally asked my 10-year old son to play the chords on his old akordeon. Took the piano sounds' variable length as a rhythm, chopped up and adjusted the rest, and mixed it down in Reaper with IEM's ambisonic plugins. Like I said before it's just a beginning and want other people to come in and play (something better) on top of the basic structure…
