The Most Virtuosic Instrument – French Horn?
Marc Papeghin is no ordinary horn player:
I am a crazy French Horn player from France who once had this weird idea of playing some progressive metal stuff on the horn. First attempt was a section from Dream Theater’s Dance of Eternity. I recorded a little section from it, track by track, playing over myself each time. Finally all the tracks mixed together would give the impression of a horn ensemble..Some technical parts were almost unplayable and literally took me thousands of takes to get everything right.
The videos below showcase Marc’s impressive work. Not only is the playing impeccable, but the videos are works of art in themselves.
On a personal note, this video got me with the Lost footage of Sun and Gin…
While there are hundreds of thousands of great performances captured on tape, the music videos featured on TSM blog feature musical creations that are unusual, innovative, humorous, or otherwise purple. This collection is fun–perhaps a stress reliever or diversion at a late night bash! It also provides you with an opportunity to discover new and creative musicians.

What a great player. Such a great sound. If you like talented instrumentalists playing in non-traditional roles, check out jazz bassoonist Paul Hanson. His videos might not be as edited and put together, but what he can do with a bassoon, amazing.

Great John Williams arrangement, and great playing!
Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks
