The Oud in a german renaissance-movie

Hi Oudies :wavey:

a few weeks ago I played the lute-player in a tale-movie about/around wine.
The producer was a bit surprised that it is a arabic lute, but he liked it anyway.:D

I`ll perform live at the premiere in june, solo or with a small orchester at the university in stuttgart.
So a few hundred germans will have their first meeting with the sound of the "queen of instruments".:airguitar:

Here is a short clip of the making-of

and another one

Hi Giorgioud, :wavey:

thanks!
Microtones would`ve be no problem, but the melodie was createt just 10 minutes before the recordings started.

At the live show I`m gonna play something more "arabic" if I play solo.
I usualy make(or have;)) no plan if its just some minutes of playing.....noodling a bit before the mics are on and than....improvise.
