An interesting arrangement. Of course I couldn't follow the lyrics at all, but I enjoyed the piece. There were some intonation problems with the recorder, I think. It sounds like this was fun to record, and very different from your typical work.

"Intonation problems" is a very kind way of saying that it was very out of tune, haha!
I heard a record where they, instead of an organ, used a whole company of recorder students, and that sounded great! They probably didn't settle on the first take though, like me! I tried to "autotalent" it, but then I lost that "raw" feeling. It was hard getting it to work with Kajsa's 2 voice chorus, though.
But yes, it was fun!
Thanks for commenting and listening, @milo!

The intonation on the recorders is OK. I mean it might not be quite in tune, but it doesn't take away from the music, adds to it actually.
Recorders are impossible to keep in tune anyway, and if you try to play with different dynamics, it changes the tuning. Terrible things really, but good too.

That is a very kind comment, @TygerTung, but yes, true! It really seems like you know what I was aiming for!TygerTung wrote: ↑Fri Dec 24, 2021 1:16 am The intonation on the recorders is OK. I mean it might not be quite in tune, but it doesn't take away from the music, adds to it actually.

Haha! I tried to use a recorder in my Christmas recording this year but replaced it with the flute from Virtual Playing Orchestra because I couldn't get the recorder in tune!

Re: Lars Domino - Ingenting (Christmas album 2021)
It's easy to envision the hard life of Lars Domino. I really like the Tom Waits-like looseness of all these recordings.
In this one I especially liked the use of a Toy piano, with all it's inadequacies.
Regarding the recorder and being out of tune, mostly I think fits right into the atmosphere, the cacaphony choir of a hard life.
Not really related but I was reminded of the shittyflute version of Take On Me on youtube. It always makes me smile.
