    and Happy New Year Everyone"
    I was visiting family and got the urge to make music 😅. I didn't have any bells, so I scavenged glasses from my brother's house and tuned them with water (took about 3 hours). My brother also provided the keyboard, extra audio gear, and let me invade his living room for an ENTIRE DAY! Thanks bro!! 💛🙏
    ♫ Fun Fact 1: This was the only complete take. The first 5 takes all had some horrific (and sometimes hilarious) technical error.
    ♫ Fun Fact 2: I won the "Kinda naughty, kinda nice" slippers in a white elephant gift exchange. 😁
    ♫ Fun Fact 3: This was filmed at 1:00am (if I look tired, that's why lol). Huge thank you to my niece for her kindness and excellent camera work!
    Here's a video of me tuning some of the glasses: • Carol of the..."Glasse...
    Equipment Used:

    By the way, I went with pencils sideways (and erasers for the beginning). Thanks a ton to everyone who offered opinions and suggestions!
    P.S. The pens were nice, but the plastic and inner cartridge was causing some weird interactions & extra sounds.
    P.P.S. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, ignore this 😆. Or you can watch my glasses experiment: ruclips.net/video/nUD90lT00PY/видео.html

    Story time! Once while practicing, I accidentally shoved the pencil into the fullest glass and knocked it off the table 😭. It took about 30 minutes to soak all the water from the rug. Fortunately, all of the electronics were spared! (I'm so happy I didn't put the water near the cables.)

    Hello, AaronGrooves! I didn't know that you made a looping jam for Christmas and New Year using glasses and other household materials in your brother's living room. I know it's very late to say this, but I just want to give you praise and applause for your performance. You and your performance deserve 10 stars out of 10 from me. Well done! 👏😄
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
    I also want to give you praise and applause for your compositions for the following animations/episodes of Alan Becker's AVM Shorts series: Note Blocks (Ep. 5), Note Block Battle (Ep. 16), Note Block Universe (Ep. 29), and your collaboration with Scott Buckley on the remix of Lena Raine's Pigstep for The Ultimate Weapon (Ep. 25). I enjoyed your "Jazzy Note Blocks" composition when I first watched the "Note Blocks" episode in 2022. (I apologize if I only watched it back then when it was released in 2018.)
    If you can still compose music for Alan Becker's future animations, then I encourage you to do that, AaronGrooves. I would be so excited to listen to more from you for the Master of Stick Figures. Keep on jamming! 🎶
    (P.S. I'm also proud of you (and I want to give you praise and applause) for being recognized as part of the Mario community on RUclips (from RUclips's Celebrating The Mario Community & 100 BILLION Views video), as well as your "4-Part Harmony" video when you reached 200,000 subscribers on your RUclips channel.)

    • @aarongrooves
      @aarongrooves  7 месяцев назад

      And I'll hopefully be putting out more content soon. I have a million ideas, but real life has been so busy. And yes, the Alan Becker collaborations were great fun, and I am proud of those projects! I will definitely keep on jamming. Thanks again!

    • @aarongrooves
      @aarongrooves  7 месяцев назад +1

      I was invited to try a few times, but it was a nightmare if I'm being honest. Met Simon and the crew, but I wasn't what they were looking for. It's a very specific type of show, very staged. And very exploitative. I'm glad I got out lol.

I watched the video of Note Block Battle by Alan Becker, and I would like to know if you have the sheet music so I can learn it and play it with my band. I know you sell the music track which is for one dollar each I think, but I would like to learn how to play it. If I have to pay you, no problem (not too much hahaha). I wait your response. Thank you
