Opus 1 (Based on Paganin's 24th Caprice) as performed by Greg Howe and Vitalij Kuprij in "High Definition" (1997). This is the first part of the piece, slightly faster, arrangement re-made from scratch in MIDI, and tuned 2 steps lower. Guitar is directly fed via Mesa/Boogie Triaxis during shooting.

In my first couple of years of producing i naively believed in the "fix it in the mix" approach (which is very common among Israeli sound engineers). Eventually i realized that most of the parts that didn't click well in songs were a fault of poor arrangements/performance, and it also reduces...
