bjornpdx Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 An Artist I made this video for my wife's aunt Betty on the occasion of Betty's 90th birthday. Betty is an accomplished artist so I put together a few of her paintings and used a poem she had written years ago for the lyrics. I had intended this to be a sing-along kind of a thing at her birthday party so the lyrics are superimposed on the video. Thanks for any watching/listening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sprouse Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Very nice. I've always envied good watercolorists. She's definitely a talented one. Nice music to go along. Are those all samples? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Thanks David. Yeah, the guitars are all VSTs, mostly played into Cakewalk via keyboard and many edits in PRV. Vir2 Acou6tics and RealGuitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Oister Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hi, Bjorn, Fantastic job on this very pleasant and uplifting video!? Your wife's aunt is a very talented artist, and the beautiful instrumental soundtrack that you composed fits perfectly to showcase her gorgeous artwork.? I'm sure Aunt Betty really appreciated the video and had a wonderful birthday!? Great work, as always, Bjorn! Have a great weekend! Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garybrun Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Very nice Bjørn. Would to love hear it by a guitar player.. I reckon they add some real feeling to it. (not that it isnt there in the VSTs) I mean a human effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 Bob Aunt Betty liked the song a lot and that made the whole project worthwhile. ramscapri Thank you. Appreciate the listen and comment Douglas Thanks. Aunt Betty doesn't paint anymore because of her health, but in her time she was one of the best. Tom Thanks. Appreciate the comment. Gary The only kind of feeling I can express in my guitar playing is the happiness I feel when hitting the right note. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnbee58 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I love her paintings and her poetry. It's so sad that she can no longer create because she added such beauty to the world. Your music is perfect and well produced. If you hadn't mentioned it was VSTIs I never would've known. ❤️?John B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Your aunt is quite an accomplished artist and poet. You have also created quite a composition yourself. What a lovely video and sentiment! You are really becoming quite accomplished at marrying video and music. Well done!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB01 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Fabulous art work and the soundtrack wasn't too shabby either. You did a lovely job on this and very skilled use of VSTs, as a guitarist I could tell - but only just. Would love to hear that played on a decent 12 string with a few well-placed strings added in. #TopWork Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
