Dickran Marsupial Music
Добавлен 11 июл 2022
Guitar player, composer, noise-merchant. Making videos of music, written or improvised myself, and a few outlandish cover versions. Aiming to change not only the way humanity hears music, but also change humanity itself.

This is an original poem - telling a story - set to new music I have just completed. It's jazz.

Norway's TT Races
Просмотров 168День назад
Tempo Club Oslo Summer Run, 2024. My motorcycle gang here decided to pay a visit. We were on British bikes; and as our machines were four-strokes and of large capacity, we could not join in the event itself. But it was a spectacle. Note the lady with her motorcycling dog. Just a bit disappointing that the dog is not wearing a special dog-helmet. As with the French New Wave (Truffaut for instanc...
Matching Moles to Molecules
Просмотров 40День назад
This is a new jazz tune, written and played by me on acoustic guitar, electric bass and analog synthesiser. The drum track is from Jim Dooley (Jazz Funk 95 bpm) on RUclips (link: ruclips.net/video/jB9slyEJVCw/видео.html). The title has a double reference to it: "Moles" are a measure of Avogadro's number of molecules of a given chemical (When I was young I studied for a chemistry degree). the se...
Improving sound recording for Youtube Videos - Using an Audio Interface
Просмотров 9214 дней назад
Part of my learning journey as a RUclips-based musician: I have moved from recording guitar, bass and a drum track (in the room) with an android phone; to recording the sound-track using a condenser microphone with USB straight to Audacity on the computer; to this latest step, buying unboxing and trying out a Focusrite Scarlett audio interface with my bass guitar. A good video to watch if you a...
The Carnival of Un-Earthly Delights
Просмотров 2214 дней назад
This is a piece of music played on three types of guitar and a synthesizer; with a drum track generated in GarageBand. It takes inspiration from very diverse sources: Ornette Coleman's "Free Jazz" of the 1960s; "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood; and the improvised progressive rock music of the German groups Amon Duül II, Faust, and Can. In addition, I have become aware of the sound synthesis...

The Man from Minsk Part Two
Просмотров 521 день назад
The Man from Minsk is a song I wrote and released earlier this Summer; on a variety of platforms. It is the most widely listened to of my songs geographically (Finland, Egypt, Pakistan, Thailand, Central America, Chile, Japan - as well as Europe and USA). So I decided to write a follow-up song, about the enigmatic "Man From Minsk".
New Monsters from the Id - an experimental tune
Просмотров 5221 день назад
An experimental jazz tune. All sounds are made using guitars and a Stingray bass (no synthesizer, cello or violin was used for this recording). The track is mixed by myself, but not mastered. So it can be regarded as a demo track, experimenting with overdubs of acoustic, electric, reversed, and pitch-shifted guitars. The acoustic guitar, an old Guild, used for the rhythm/bass part, was tuned to...

This is an old British song of the sea and seafaring. I have taken the lyrics of the Martin Carthy version - and sung it myself, to a simple drum beat.

The Plumber at the Gates of Dawn - a jazz tune
The video and song really work well together.
Thanks Carl. I just grabbed a few free clips of shorelines from Pixabay and slapped 'em together. Sometimes it's that easy!
Hi Carl. I have just started a Patreon page. they recommend asking people to join who I already know are supportive; So; if you are interested, here is the link: patreon.com/DickranMarsupial Cheers!
Dude on Rock
LOL.
rock on dude
Same here, that's a great track Dickran. Very 70s Hawkwindy!
Ooooo. I really like this one and I'm only 30 seconds in!
I think it should be a smash hit. Probably. : )
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 it's pretty awesome. Not sure what it reminded me of, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Franz Ferdinand probably a bit of all of them, but it's definitely it's own thing. I can imagine this being the background music to some atmospheric LA cop movie or something like that. This is definitely, one of my favourites. I shaazamed it three times, just in case it gets all the right algorithms going.
@@carlexplores8709 Wow! Thanks Carl. Maybe I should put my phone on "mute" so I don't get bothered by the paparazzi pestering me tonight.
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 I do that anyway! 😂
@@carlexplores8709 LOL
Finally a demo of a guitar I own that sounds exactly like mine.
Getting very polished Dave. I like it!
Glad you like it! Cheers
I instantly liked this. Great intro!
It's great isn't it? I am well pleased. Thanks for listening!!
I like it. Full on creativity!
Cheers!
I listen to this in the Eurotunnel passport control queue in my car
Sorry to hear that. But at least you are getting near to returning to Blighty! What do you think of the tune?
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 a bit of ethnic fusion is always a good thing. It's where original ideas come from. I like it.
During the month of May 2024 I was doing a walk in aid of the RNLI and Dickran suggested dancing over the finish line as he knew that I liked to dance. Hence Long Distance RNLI Cha Cha Cha was born. I did Cha Cha over the finish line after having walked 125 miles (220km) during the month and raised a bit of money for the Lifeboat crews. So grateful thank to him and his take on a modern Cha Cha. But I do need to have a rest now!!! Barry W
I listen to this having just visited CERN!
Synchronicity!
It's not called purfling.
You're right! Purfling is the decorative stuff. I should have said "kerfing".
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 easily done. I couldn't think of the right word myself 😁 I would called it a solid lining. Kerfing has cuts in it so it bends I think. I've taken many backs off and they never go back on properly.

Like it 👂
Great! But what do you like about it? (may not be the same things I like about it).
The fan and reverb tank is factory on that amp, believe it or not. I owned one. The speaker is ALNICO (an aluminum and nickel alloy), not ceramic, that's why it's so much larger that most Celestion speakers. ALNICO speakers are actually good quality, just a bit heavier to carry around. It's voiced similarly to an AC series Vox, but two complete pre-amp channels that were switchable.
Great marketing! 😂
Apparently, yes!
Reverb tank!!!!! Lol
Yes. Imagine that!!
Does it sound like a boogie ?
I think so. I play it a bit here ruclips.net/video/rSTzDZZURwQ/видео.html
Never say never!
Eggs Actly.

Feynman diagrams....the best! 🙌
Not many of my audience would have spotted that!
Sounding great!
Thanks!
Great turntable !!
I'd love breakfast in the space station.
Yes, but you wouldn't want to be wearing your new shirt or anything...
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 oh no. Very messy.
Technics is the best turntable to get back into vinyl. You can always use the p2 is a Frisbee afterwards , just round off the edges.😮
Haha!
Rega blow Technics out of the air at every price point. Trust me I have 40 years experience of both at most price points. Bang for buck, paired with right cartridge the P2 is a wonderful turntable with easily achievable mods upgrades and tweaks. It works fine just out of the box. You can always use the Technics as a doorstop no need to round off the edges.
Brilliant choice of first record to play 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes to slime and explosions! 😂🎆
OK. Obviously I will have to move on to real slime, in buckets. There are definitely people here willing to throw it...
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 Perhaps for a kids channel?
Awesome....is it me or are your vids getting more views?
I think it's you! The production quality is improved, so I am happier with the ones in the last six months. : )
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 I thought you got 100 views or so for one of your "shorts".
Carl, you are right, a few of them actually have hundreds of views. Seems I am never satisfied - I need millions !
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 😂
Beautiful guitars. I have one very similar - green - same convertible tremolo - leaf inlays on mine - I did all the same tremolo pull apart on mine as well, a lot of the same problems - had to get new screws etc ... well done on yours its a great git!!! Enjoy it
Thanks! I never linked playing the guitar properly to the repair episodes. Here is an example called Loads of Lazarus ruclips.net/video/ncDo84yV-x8/видео.html
Good
Wild man! 😎✌️Love it! Theremins are seriously cool instruments!
Thanks. I was actually not sure what the plural of Theremin is (Thereminae? Theremooses?) ; )
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 Ah! Got me there!
Well I looked up the rule for Russian plurals of words ending in a consonant. So it should probably be Thereminы.
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 😂 properly researched!
God!
Cheers! I realise that is Norwegian for "good" and you are not calling me a god ; )
Your music is maturing nicely! Great tune.
Thanks Carl; I agree; And I am thankful for it.
Fab!
Chilled. 😎✌️
Thanks Carl. I'm pretty happy with this one. : )
I love the ocean. And I love this. Visuals to match the music. Obviously hard to find a meaning without any lyrics, but just cool to chill to.
The meaning, of course it is all about my Mother. She was the Angler Fish, luring her prey with a dangling false lantern. Promises hiding spikes and teeth. That's why i still dress up in her clothes, when i roam the streets of this dirty town...
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 😂
Hello neighbour! 👋
Hello evil witch face. Thanks for the last week of power tools, hammering sawing and drilling. It's been great. ; )
Very cool
Cheers! My most ambitious production yet.
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 it shows. I liked the blackout sections ...great sounds.
Thanks!! Your continued support is much appreciated, believe me.
why do Brits go on vacation to another country and the first thing they do is search out pub food. i dont get it.
Fair point! I feel ashamed now.
In the words of 13th century poet Les Bons Enfanz orrez crier : ”Du pain !” ; nes vueil pas oublier.
I was recently advised that if anyone says anything at all in French, the best reply is "le bleu". If it doesn't work the first time, just repeat it, more loudly... LE BLEU!
It is a nice town. I really enjoyed walking under the cliffs when the tide ebbed. Thanks again for having us there!
That horn is so cool!
Thanks! It's a "work in progress" to make it more playable.
A bit Kraftwerky...🤖
Really? I must listen to some Kraftwerk, only know their hits. : )
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 perhaps more the genre rather than the band itself. Experimental electro-german synth...if that's a genre! 😂
Yes! Then I take it as a compliment. I also like Faust - who were/are very much in that genre. But I make very little use of synthesizer; preferring real objects to make noise with. I also have an ambition to go out and record Norwegian moles grunting in the forest...
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 a Christopher Nolan of the music world!
👽🇨🇵
Haha; Exactly!
This one's best with headphones.
Yes, definitely.
Wow! Play that one extra loud for your neighbour!
She's about a hundred kilometers away this weekend...Hooray!!
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 that will require turning it up to 11!
Haha yes!
Technoshanty! I really liked the guitar parts, but I'd like to see you explore the techno bit even more.
Cheers! I will be doing just that. : )
Learn a tradition song and transpose the chords into another key to make it your own… That’s how a lot of the great song writers compose. It gives new life to a song while you make small changes to make it your own!
I agree. But I think I need to go for a bridging tradition (or a song) that's amenable to jazz interpretation. Maybe Irish or Scottish. I am on it!
I paused this for a second to hear a Black Cap sing. It also stopped. I then played on and then so did the Blackcap. The great singer-songwriters of the world appreciate your sounds.
So, my work is strictly for the birds. ; )
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 perhaps theres an idea for a song or poem in there somewhere?
@@carlexplores8709 Yes! Something like: Birds birds birds, birds birds birds, birds birds birds; Birds can feck off.😄
@@dickranmarsupialmusic3184 😂😂
Is it for sale??
NO, IT'S NOT MINE. THIS WAS A CUSTOMER'S GUITAR.
