The video footage looks like it has been accelerated. Could be an artifact of the camera, or flash video, but possibly means the audio is not what was actually played.

Shoonay · 14 August 2009, 23:48

Wut?

alexh · 14 August 2009, 23:51

Watch the motion of her hands and arms, there are lots of "dropped frames" which together with the "sharpness" of the movements, especially the gravity effect on the folds of her trousers as she moves. This is typical of video is which is played back at an accelerated rate.

Like I said, could be a side effect of the camera, or the flash conversion but it has been altered.

Shoonay · 14 August 2009, 23:53

So what is the tune that sounds exactly like the Star Wars medley but 50% slower that she's playing?

alexh · 14 August 2009, 23:58

There is no doubt that is what was played, its just the video has been sped up.

Shoonay · 15 August 2009, 00:16

Nah, I doubt it is fake. I hope...
This was upped a few months before yt introduced HD video and we all know how the converters were back then...
Probably it was recorded in 30FPS or higher framerate, and the reduction to 24fps (as it is now) skipped a few frames so it looks funny here and there.

I mean, I'm no musician but what would be the point of playing it at a different-then-original rate?
Sure, recording music videos in slower rate is (was?) pretty popular, but playing something slower manually would be a bit difficult, no? The tones wouldn't match and all...

alexh · 15 August 2009, 00:25

Perhaps it is just video conversion. I'm pretty sure the video is slightly sped up. Perhaps the wrong setting in the frame rate conversion. You see it in most of the videos.

Either that or she's wearing the most starched & ironed jeans in history which defy normal motion and gravity

Shoonay · 15 August 2009, 00:30

Those look like white suede pants to me

Pyromania · 15 August 2009, 02:10

Kick ass remix!

TCD · 15 August 2009, 10:15

Oh and let's not forget viddi's version : [ Show youtube player ]

alexh · 15 August 2009, 10:41

Still prefer the Amiga music.

Of all the remixes, Amiga Immortal etc. my favourite is still the Studio version done for the FM Towns version (and used on the Turbogfx/PC Engine) by Ian Henderson and Chris Howlett of D.C. Productions.

(Use HQ for stereo)

Never knew this music existed until about a year or two ago.

It's got to be her.

Maren · 15 August 2009, 13:51

Very generic and sort of lifeless, I'm not impressed, but kudos be with the guy for paying tribute to our beloved Beast

Love that one, wish he'd make more

Really nice stuff he made.

TCD · 15 August 2009, 17:12

He already made two new ones : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=42590 (not sure if you've seen that thread)

Let's hope he finds some time for it (and Ambermoon Arcade

) soon

keropi · 15 August 2009, 17:12

...and then listen at the "magic mushroom" pc-speaker recording

no, her name is maru and she's an ordinary housewife living in kyushuu, japan.

btw, I dunno about this electone business but, she's playing over something right ? I mean there seems to be a metronome map running behind playing the drums, cymbals for her as well as switching instruments.

Could you perhaps pay her a visit?

Of course, everything's pre-programmed these days

See Electone on wiki

But that doesn't change the fact that you still have to know which buttons to press...
