Debussy on Kalimba

Just got this a few hours ago and love it. Sadly, I live near a busy road; it is what it is.
I'm attempting Debussy's Clair De Lune, tabbed here: www.carvedcult...

shaking it for vibrato is a nice touch

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

Fun little trick 😉

[@ohhimark8028]

it's not vibrato it's tremolo

[@JanoschNr1]

Never end on Debussy, allways end on da Bach

[@NotSure416]

That's a lot of squirrels.

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

Never enough 😈🐿

[@emma_nutella58]

Man I love Debussy

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

Screaming in debussy rn

[@LordVandor1]

Sometimes all I can thing about is Debussy. But always finish on Bach, never finish on Debussy

[@TheGlitterMan]

That the actually name of the song. Holy moly I need to get my head out of the gutter.

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

Debussy is the name of the composer, it’s just extremely convenient for comedic purposes in english 😅😂

[@RanposPowderedDonuts]

Clair de Lune
By Debussy :)

[@Memento_Mauri]

Clair de lune is the name :3 its very beautiful, i'd reccommend also checking out the moonlight sonatas third movement, classical music is js so calming

[@thelaxsoviet5922]

i found one at a thrift store and immediately played all star

WHY IS THIS SO RELAXING

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

I engaged "relax" mode on the microphone 🙃🙃

[@IndianJokarDanceGarden]

How is your kalimba so loud? This is the most glorious and pronounced reverb I’ve ever heard from one 🥹

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

The microphone was quite close and there's some signal processing to fix some issues I was having: I live near a busy road, so there's truck vibrations, and you can hear a car accelerating at 0:13 which I wasn't able to take out. Also, my room isn't acoustically treated, so there's a touch of corrective processes like EQ and noise reduction to try to better isolate the kalimba in my not-ideal recording situation. 🙃
The added reverb was to add stereo information to the final audio, as I only used one mic. However, while the original recording has no perceivable reverb because I'm recording in a small room, the sustain from the instrument itself is really excellent; I was very surprised.

Can't believe this Debussy hack stole that song from ULTRAKILL

How I feel after giving my Pure bald cousin a shampoo

[@JAM41wrld]

Duh bussy

[@roboy-u6v]

So glad to see some deBussy popping in my stream

[@Daseril]

just got myself a kalimba for christmas! I'll need to learn this!

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

I got my sister one, she absolutely loves it. Most ghibli movies have free kalimba transcriptions online and those are always fun and gorgeous to play, i highly recommend those to start 😁

[@veerbordia9824]

i got a kalimba for christmas too

[@bleachman4576]

So glad this popped up

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

Awesome to hear 😁

[@JAM41wrld]

Amazing how much sound a tiny hole from a box can make.

[@bulbushead_gang]

Play Minstrels next

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

Hmm, that's a tougher one. This Kalimba is in C Major and Minstrels is in G major; I'd have to somewhat awkwardly transpose it, probably into E minor... So, maybe... No promises 😂

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

Whyyyyyyy? Does something bad happen to debussy? 😂😂

Yea, Debussy is great 💪💪

[@titilim77]

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

You use the sound hole for vibrato on your kalimba? That's cool 💪😁

[@kittone]

Very nice😊 where can I buy the same kalimba?

[@666tonsofsquirrels]

This is the manufacturer's site for it:
www.selapercussion.com/Schwarze_Walnuss_(Black_Walnut)-s-536.html
And, I got mine from Thomann (other stores available). 💪

[@kittone]

Thank you very much for kind reply😊

[@TheBaschii]

I love Debussy!
