Entirely performed live and recorded by myself while Artist in Residence in the USA.
No playback, no overdub, no fx, except for a stereo-delay and comp in the last part.
37-string (now 49-string) guitar designed by myself and the brilliant Argentinian luthier Carlos Roberto Michelutti.
Arrangement, audio & video recording (on a single camera, Canon 550D with a Sigma objective), DMX light programming, and video sync/editing (for the different camera angles, always shot totally live) by myself.
99% of camera movements were virtually post-created simply through video editing... during the video I was busy on the 49 strings...
Recorded with no mics, just an LR Baggs Element and a K&K system with an RME FireFace UFX using a Samson wireless system (to allow a super small and cheap kind of "dolly" to be thrown just in time... ...
Potpourri re-elaborated and completely rearranged for this special instrument by Paolo Schianchi as a tribute to the genius of Michael Jackson.

This is a DIY video, the first one I have ever shot. I am not a videomaker: I did my best with this camera while playing.
Hope you find it enjoyable, and if not, my apologies for wasting your time!

Oh, and by the way, the drummer's '60s permed hair style is just a microphone windscreen... :)
