Uwe Hermann - RAV VAST Day 1 Handpan Groove

This is a pure sample-based remix (i.e., I didn't play any instruments, but rather arranged audio files) of Snowflake's "Face the End". Hope you like it!

The remix was done in Ardour (on Linux), some minor audio editing was done in Audacity.

The visualization is done using "gource" (www.gource.io), an open-source tool for source code commit history visualization. In this case, snippets of the Linux kernel source code were the basis for the visualization.

Uwe Hermann - Face the End

This is a short relaxing percussion groove I put together. Basically I wanted to see how a bunch random instruments sound together. Hope you like it!

Uwe Hermann - Relaxing Percussion Groove

This is an “acoustic percussion” remix of the awesome ballad / duet “Put the Needle Down” by Admiral Bob, Snowflake, and SackJo22 over at ccmixter.org. Hope you like it!

I haven’t changed anything from the original song (same tempo, structure, lyrics, vocals, piano, and so on), I simply added percussion to it.

All percussion instruments are played by me, there’s also a Youtube video of that if anyone is interested:

Vocals: Admiral Bob, Snowflake

I don’t have any experience with mixing, hope I didn’t drown the piano or vocals too much with the percussion instruments.

Uwe Hermann - 120BPM Percussion Groove

I got a Spacedrum handpan recently, which I like quite a lot. Made a small arrangement + improvisation using the handpan, with some waterdrum percussion added in the mix.
