pretty cool

[maky325]

I like it a lot! Pretty virtuous. In some way it reminds me to some Vicente Amigo songs. Keep up the god work!

[chriskorff]

Congratulations mate! Nicely done.

If you wanted to do a small favour to the SC people, you could send them an email telling them that you used a Scope system to win the ISC, and give them permission to use it on their website! Might be a good thing to do all round actually; would give them something new to put on their News page, and would give you a bit more exposure!

Again, well done!

well, it's amazing how much of the song still makes it through the 11khz 16kbit encoding...
congrats for the great job on the guitar
but as a reference to Scope production this is unusable - the other participants sound absolutely identical ...

cheers, Tom

woo... all these forum username changes are getting confusing..

Well done Yiannis!

Was gonna ask if you played the Oud but I heard it on your site.

Glad you've still kept the old fashion Gypsy/Rembetika feel in some of your music.

Refreshing

[Shayne White]

Wow! That's wonderful guitar playing there! I just wish that there were a higher-quality version to listen to.

Congratulations!

[dawman]

I got your CD's.

They sound really good.

Congrats and Thanks.

Congratulations Yiannis!

I'd love for S/C to post something in their news it would be an honour.
I wonder who I should contact at S/C for this?

I will post a better quality version of the song so that we can hear S/C's DSP's at work
On my web site there is a better quality version but still an mp3.

The Instrument you are asking about is actually an original creation that I designed and my father made for me.
I play a lot of Exotic Instruments and changing one to the other on stage leaves 15-30 sec. dead air, so I thought Why can't a have one instrument with at least 3 instruments built in.

This Instrument is 3 in 1
from top to bottom or logest to shortest.

1st SAZ (a Turkish 6 sometimes seven stringed instrument with quarter tones. If you look close at the pic you can see the frets are spaced unequally

2ND Bouzouki a Greek 8 stringed Instrument or at least this one is Greek

3RD Cumbus It is a cross between a oud and a banjo.
Fretless 11 strings(only 10 on the Ethno III) and has a skin for a soundboard

check out the Ethno III in this pic.
If you would like to see what these instruments look like originally, check out my web site and on the first page I'm holding various Instruments and these along with the Ethno III are in there

Hope I did Justis to S/C in my mix & mastering

Thanks again for all the great feedback

[astroman]

guitar for sale... anyone ?

amazing stuff - only to be superceeded by direct acoustic listening
great flow in that track
even the absolute highs are present by that metal stick ticking - perfect
but you really can't deny your greek roots, can you ?

cheers, Tom
