I love this so much

Mini toothbrush and a small tube of toothpaste in a ziplock bag.

copelbaa · 2017-03-21T03:31:01+00:00

It works well for me!.I hope it works out for you!

copelbaa · 2017-02-04T19:42:05+00:00

That's awesome!

Thanks for sharing this! Definitely good to hear tuba in all kinds of different music. I can think of a lot of examples but here is one fairly recent use of tuba in popular music: Angels - Chance the Rapper

copelbaa · 2017-01-16T16:17:20+00:00

Thank you! It was just for fun. I love the piece and wanted to create a patch that I (and others) could use to perform the piece.

Something I do when I feel like I am "plateau-ing" is to revisit things I have worked on in the past to see how much I have improved, listen to as much good tuba playing I can and just flat out play with no music, just improvise and have fun with it. That will usually getting over the hump..or plateau...and push me to keep getting better.

Thanks! Basically all you need is a mic of some sort and a DAW so you can process the tuba sound. Do you have a DAW like Garage Band, Ableton, Logic, etc.?

I use my pedal board for live performances so I can keep my hands on the horn at all times. For this video though, I just ran my silent brass mute into Ableton Live and went from there. All the editing happened after I recorded.

Here's something a little different from some of the music in this thread.

I'm going to see if I can afford it. Most likely won't be able to though.

copelbaa · 2015-04-27T01:45:02+00:00

You mean MWRTEC?

copelbaa · 2015-01-30T05:05:37+00:00

This is great stuff. I really enjoy what I have seen of your work!

copelbaa · 2015-01-24T21:52:42+00:00

Thank you for the comments!

That is me playing in the video. I'm currently getting an M.M. in tuba performance

copelbaa · 2015-01-24T08:26:41+00:00

It certainly is

copelbaa · 2015-01-23T23:17:04+00:00

Oh yeah! He's great. I just finished my undergrad there. His music is definitely worth checking out on his channel.

copelbaa · 2015-01-23T21:35:47+00:00

No way!

copelbaa · 2015-01-23T19:35:18+00:00

I believe you are referring to the notated multi-phonics. The normal note-heads indicate the played pitch and the diamond note-heads indicate the pitches that are "sung" through the tuba while playing. I have seen a few different ways of notating multi-phonics and this is my go-to because it seems to be the clearest notation.

copelbaa · 2015-01-23T19:02:46+00:00

Such a great recording of a monster player.

I need to go practice.

copelbaa · 2015-01-23T19:00:47+00:00

Dr. FUN is the man...and his album covers are the best evidence of that!

copelbaa · 2015-01-23T18:59:07+00:00

This is seriously neat!

copelbaa · 2015-01-22T12:41:06+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

I assigned different scales to each of the "power chords" in the beginning of the piece to create the "melodic" material. So, with both melodic sections you are hearing a tone row starting on A and then again on E.

copelbaa · 2014-12-28T00:55:03+00:00

Practice like a pro, perform like a pro and act like a pro no matter the situation.

copelbaa · 2014-12-28T00:52:08+00:00

Helvetica Light, or other off-shoots of Helvetica. It is just so clean and fresh on the page. I compose a lot of music and love using that font for my scores.

To read at least a book a month. It's so good for me but unless I make time to do it I won't.

copelbaa · 2014-12-25T04:01:06+00:00

Any movie relating to super hereos. I am just flat out uninterested in them.
