Very nice article @bengy! I am going to have to pick your brain at some point in the future, as I myself am also in the music business to some fair extent. I have admiration for what you do and this was an amazing piece of work that you have put together and presented to us as a community! Great work my friend!
Your post has been upvoted by the Curie community curation project and associated vote trail as exceptional content (human curated and reviewed). Keep creating awesome stuff! Have a great day :)
Thanks! But I can't claim the composition, only the performance. The piece is written by Biber from the Baroque era of music as part of his set of Rosary (Mystery) sonatas.
This is a lovely recording! Not being a sound engineer, your transitions from segement-to-segment sounded smooth to me. Great job on the playing, and what a rich, wonderful sound that instrument has! I am quite charmed by the sound holes in that blonde-colored viola in your third photo; they almost have a "tribal" look to them, which is a refreshing change from the traditional sound holes! Bravo for the performance and thank you for adding some class to the blockchain!
Thanks, it still sounds weird to me as it is missing the other parts. So it seems like a conversation where you only hear one part of...
The lighter instrument was the viola d'amore that I recorded on. It has a different evolution history compared to the Baroque Violin that sits next to it. Which means internally it is structurally different and also differences in the external part. The sound holes (which are traditionally this shape) are thought to be either flames of love (hinting at the d'amore part of the name) or Eastern sword shapes (hinting at the middle eastern origins of the instrument).
Congratulation on the @curie . They have good taste and well deserved by you

Thank you! I'm am honoured!
Audacity is quite good for these sorts of projects, though I personally prefer Wavepad (commercial).
Btw, I got goosebumps when listening to your composition. That doesn't happen a lot ;-)
