Ric lived to regret obeying the words of an evil woman, and thus a beautiful tune is laced with sadness in the memory of a wonderful animal that will forever be greatly loved and missed. Magister Ludi got his name in 1983 from a character in The Glass Bead Game, a novel written by German author Hermann Hesse.

I was asked what app I used to make this video. Here is how it was made...

Only one Samsung Galaxy S7 android phone was used to record both the audio and the video. I brought the video clips into Adobe Premiere CS6 on my PC, where I layered the clips, and mixed the audio with a few generic plugins (5-band EQ, DeNoiser, MultibandCompressor, Dynamics, Reverb, and Panning). The visual was also edited with generic Adobe plugins (Unsharp Mask, Fast Color Corrector, and Title). The split screen was manually created with keyframes (Position, and Scale under the Motion tab). No external microphones were used. No audio recording software was used. No phone apps were used, aside form the built in camera. I used the lower quality front-side camera, just so I could monitor the visual frame and see what I was recording.

The timing gets a little lost in some sections because I neglected to use a click track. In the beginning, I didn't plan on multi-tracking any additional instruments. I only intended on making a single video with the acoustic guitar and voice. Upon watching the initial video clip, I thought it sounded a bit bland. So I added the drums by playing them on the keyboard while listening back to the original video. After combing the first two videos, I realized it sounded empty in the lower frequencies without the support of a bass guitar. So I grabbed an old dusty guitar guitar amp (Fender Hot Rod Deluxe) from the garage and managed to find a semi-working quarter inch cable to plug in the bass guitar. I inherited the 5-string bass from the bassist in my very first band (ELUCID, 1996), who past away from heart failure at age 27. I had never played the bass prior to this recording, and was actually surprised to find any of this gear working, after sitting idol and collecting dust for so many years. After that, I needed to add one more instrument, just so the screen could be split evenly into four parts. I added the strings, while also singing some backup vocals which turned out to be inaudible in the mix.

The whole production could have been better if I had done it right, but I was improvising just to get it done the fastest and laziest way. The entire project from start to finish took approximately 8 hours.
