Roy Marchbank: Demoing my 'GIOLIN' - Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso


A couple of months ago I released two YT videos hinting at the new territory I am exploring with guitar and composition. Here I introduce a little of what I have been developing since then.

This is where my guitar meets violin and in future videos - all the other instruments in my Audio Modeling sample midi orchestra! In this video I introduce SWAM, Tec and Jam Origin technology. This is the only time in my career I have used midi to create music and it is definitely a new, interesting direction for me.

I have studied and played many genres on guitar over the last four decades but one of my favourites is undoubtedly classical. Now having so many instruments of a full orchestra literally at my fingertips, this is allowing me to compose some incredible and innovative compositions that will feature on my next solo album.

It's important when using these samples to understand the organic instrument the sample is mimicking, in order to best create an authentic representation of, for example, the violin, sax, flute etc. Applying that understanding with close attention to breath control, vibrato, fingering and dynamics etc. really offers limitless options for composition and performance, Over time I'll be releasing further YT videos, demoing more of the other instruments in my library that I now play through a range of my guitars, including six string, eight string, fretless and acoustic.


Watch out for my LIVESTREAMS coming soon.
Slainte!
Roy
