Michael Bridge: 1812 Overture (Tchaikovsky) - Digital Accordion

All sounds are performed live on Digital Accordion, without background music.
From Michael Bridge's 2018 solo album, "Overture". For more information and to purchase: www.MichaelBridgeMusic.com/store
Michael's Instrument:
This piece uses the digital accordion's ability to produce sounds that are sensitive to both swell (bellows) and finger velocity (percussion). Thus, a single performer can control a huge number of instrument sounds by assigning each one to a different section of the instrument. All percussion sounds are played with the left hand, and three chin switches facilitate turning various sounds on and off. Over 50 customized sound settings are used throughout this work.

Incredible as always, Michael! Stunning performance and setting!

Bravoooooo!!!

[@giuseppe-accordéon]

It's great that you mention the fact that the performance is one take and structured by one musician ( yourself) ..I play the digital accordion in restaurants and people seem to think that it's a midi track inside. loll.
I will admit that I can't compare to your virtuosity ( congratulations ) but I now keep my playing simple for the skeptics who don't understand the possibilities of this great instrument. Beautiful playing Michael.

Me too....I play a Roland 8x Dallape and while I love my fine acoustic accordions, the Roland takes the accordion to the next level and auidiences appreciate what it can do. in the hands of a hacker any accordion sounds bad. In the hands of a master like Michael an accordion is truly an amazing instrument whether digital or acoustic.
