This was composed and played by Mahendra (Speedy) Gonsalkorale on his Yamaha Tyros 5. Speedy says that the keyboard is amazing and that he couldn't have done it without its facilities. The visuals are all from his camera at different times, quite often when he goes for walks or plays golf. He further says that he loves walking in the beautiful countryside or just chasing the pocked white ball with a club! The whole thing had then been put together using movie making software from Serif (Movie Plus 6). Finally, he hopes that our Blog visitors would enjoy it and experience the serenity that he tried to portray.

ReplyDeleteWonderful music to remember the landscape of this green and pleasant land.Thank you
Thanks ND and Rohni. I am really pleased you like it.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, and as Rohini said quite magical. I listened to it first with the visuals, enjoying your photos and the multiple shades of green that nature creates. Then I decided to close my eyes and just listened to the music. It could be perfect background music for meditation. A technical question- are the voices generated by your keyboard as well? Well done Speedy!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it Srianee. Yes, the voices were indeed generated by the keyboard. It is a truly amazing piece of musical electronic technology.
ReplyDeleteMahendra, I have already commented on this but I would like to place on record my appreciation of the wonderful presentation with beautiful scenes and great music done with your usual expert touch. I shared this with some British friends and they appreciated it too.
