The last week I’ve been working on a video tour of the work shop as well as presenting a few of my favorite pieces. Working with video is new to me although I’ve been composing music in the past so at least some of the concepts are the same. I must admit that I’ve enjoyed the process and hope that you will get a good sense of both my work shop, my works and the passion that I have for it.

Most of the video footage was shot with my iPhone 4S, my brother took the one of me with his Xpreria phone and my works are pictures taken with my Canon Mark 5D Mark II camera with a Tamron lens.

The music, a track called “Coal Train” by Triplexity, was found on Jamendo. It’s a nize jazz tune that suited my emotional state perfectly. The breaks are great for transitions and the feel is pretty close to the work shop. Another detail is the “reference” to my favorite saxophone player – John Coltrane.

Admittedly I feel I still have a lot to learn and I’m looking forward to doing my next video. Tips and tricks on keeping your hand steady while iPhone shooting is more than welcome – and maybe something about making a real “ending” instead of just a “fade out”.

Take care, Love Troels
