[@EchoSnake999]

Yo

[@tristanperciful6609]

​@Osteo Striga this is why you're still in my vault

[@musquit0124]

"Mustafa is trying to escape, get a camel and chase him!"

[@dawgstudioswoohoo]

You're starting to get super close to 50k. Can't wait to celebrate. These grooves are getting so much more interesting. Kinda gives an Arabian desert vibe. Very cool.

[@oliparker]

yeah it's not too far away! Glad you like this, yeah was going for a midnight desert and camels kinda vibe haha

[@rylankahle1095]

thats exactly what I was thinking the whole time. and it was ver good

[@THEnelsonbruhs]

kinda? Nah this was 100% intended to feel that way

[@chloex7399]

I get blown away by every track. Came here from George Collier a few months ago, stayed for the insane solos

[@nico_csp6872]

same 🤩

[@ubiquityphantom6354]

The 7/8 felt so normal and groovy that I got thrown off when the 4/4 came in lol. Amazing job, as a composer myself, I can say it is really difficult to write in 7/8, much less make it sound that groovy.

[@Davkas]

Man, I could listen to this for hours! Can't wait to hear a full version of this, it's so good! Excellent work as always, dude!

[@oliparker]

appreciate it :)

[@maddino.o397]

Is this coming to spotify or other platforms? I love it :)

[@oliparker]

@@maddino.o397 yes! Might be a little while though

[@huntarius-geraldo-giffarius]

I love 7/8 so much, great playing!

[@brucek6563]

Awesome!! 7/8 and 5/8 are not easy to play in. That was so smooth!!!

[@ravenger2445]

When you're emphasizing a very repetitive rhythm, like this in 7/8 or Mission Impossible in 5/4, it becomes much easier. What's so confusing about this video is the part where it switches between 4/4 and 6/4.

[@thezebiano]

Sick! Especially that 4/4 and then 6/4 part, sounded very proggy. Dope.

[@sobachiyac]

7-8

[@mores172]

Или 5-6

[@black.baron_angel]

As a trumpet, cornet, and tuba player, watching how *smoothly* and *masterfully* your fingers move is immensely captivating, especially on that 11:7 rhythm, and not to mention the silky smooth intonation you have is so enviable.

[@dawgstudioswoohoo]

yeah tbh idk how he plays flugel so well without the insane intonation issues it’s known for having

[@andrewjeffries8721]

DANG! Another random pick in my KZbin feed and I find this gem! Thank you, sir!!!!!!!! Well played.

[@bradycampbell5135]

Bro this sounds like it could be in a drum corps show. Love the vibe

[@n4gol]

My school’s marching band had an egyptian themed show last year with 7/4 groves. It was really sweet

[@GeorgeCollier]

Babylon

[@toucap]

Carolina Crown 2019's great to check out if you'd like to see this sort of style in a drum crops show!

[@V15lol]

It sounds like spices toxins and perfumes, which was used in quite a few shows this year (wakeland & carroll senior)

[@echonox31]

My first thought when hearing this was Bluecoat's 2017 show. Sounds a little like Psychopomp

[@orlanswf]

i love 7/8 songs SO MUCH

[@lucky115_5]

We need a full version ASAP

[@tomatocroissant378]

Flugelhorn as Leaders! Sounds incredible and Abasi-esq. Love it!

[@MaszekMester]

Searched for 7/8 song.. not disappointed.. nice!

[@SeedRamples]

The start sounds like a DCI solo with that percussion section laying down the feel behind you! If you went sky high in the end of the solo I'd have thought you ripped this straight from one of the Scheherazades or something!

[@hunterbaker178]

I think this is your hardest track yet. I will surely listen to it about 30 times in the next day.🔥

[@817slbav]

Awesome! As a trumpet player I can say they you have mad talent!

[@ltravail]

Played that solo like a boss. Impressive stuff, as usual.

[@BeckhamCarr]

Bro I don’t know who you are but your tone is amazing. With your embechure every note looks great, and I can’t even tell when you are changing your lip shape

[@OG_Mereles]

I thought this was a 'cover/transcription' and immediately went to the description to find the full version. Shame on me, man! I subbed as soon as I read this was an original composition. Gotta hear the rest of it. This is amazing.

[@positivegecko7856]

I’ve put this song on loop. It smooth, calm, and catchy! Can’t get enough

[@marshalmcdonald7476]

7/8 grooves are indeed on another level....so is Oli Parker.

[@CameronMLeet]

i absolutely love every tune you put out here on all of your social media platforms…. but i have got to say moving into the phrygian shit is the best thing you’ve done yet. amazing solo, man! my new favorite!

[@mmbcproductions3340]

I really like well executed 7/8 and 7/4 signatures, and this is definitely one of them

[@JovanLemon]

As someone from the Balkans, I feel very much at home

[@tjmmcd1]

What an OUTSTANDING trumpet/flugelhorn player. Chills!

[@lewishoff9406]

Forget the time signature! YOU'RE on another level my guy. Super clean, loved it.

[@PiotrBarcz]

Man, I really hope you pull out some cool old jazz tunes from the 30s, your smooth flugel playing would work so well on them!

[@willemoosterom2438]

Hi Oli , from Holland, your trumpet playing skills are fantastic!!...but the music you have made is super, I dont know a better word for it. Thank you and please go on with surprising the world with these fantastic solo s.

[@OssianEMills]

That high Bb was smooth!

[@lw_official4689]

Giving hard DCI vibes

[@fitchyyboi]

Word as hell

[@class7404]

Colts 2022, Silk Road vibes for sure

[@tinoavila4958]

Very very cool! I can't wait for the full version!

[@johnnytheyoungmaestro]

7/8 is honestly one of my favorite time signatures, and you pulled this off so well! Fantastic job! :)

[@DJBlackNGold]

UUUUGH that was NASTY!! Keep up the great playing man!

[@MihaiSorohan]

Really really cool composition and playing.

[@jan_Kitalon]

oh my life i love this. it's probably one of the bestest thingies i've seen all week aah

[@russelljazzbeck]

Yes to playing an eleventet in 7/8

[@panpolypuff]

Flugel tone so smooth 😍

[@vincentgraffeo9030]

Your playing is mind blowing.

[@jacobhanekamp2534]

😊I started learning Trumpet recently because Music Ed, I have even more respect for your tone and ability to play considering that I can't even play the scale 😂

[@franciscobranco4240]

Very fun sonority! Nice job! Can't wait to hear the whole thing

[@maxyeet]

Might be the best flugelhorn vid yet

[@accordv6er]

Added metal bass. Amazing. MJK would approve

[@luislasbelin]

Holy! That might be the best I've heard from you!!!

[@StainlessHelena]

It's so groovy it's making me move and giving me shivers.

[@DanielGarcia-mt1vn]

Hey man. Awesome track! Hope to hear the full thing soon!

[@billyrueckert5113]

Holy crap!!! Instant sub. I want to try this on tuba so bad. Killer technique...beautiful sound!

[@Jimmothytv]

This is so filthy and has such an insane groove, amazing job!

[@maxwellcraig2589]

You should post some of your warmup/ practice routine I think I could learn a lot from you

[@lucasyoungers]

My favorite time signature!

[@fine8087]

Im amazed there isnt a comment saying it sounds egyptian... close one boys

[@adriangutierrez2859]

that 7:11 went crazy dude. good job

[@HolandaFilmes]

Each one of the 8th beats acts like a "reset" in my brain.

[@guylaboque6760]

Need a full version of this 😍

[@martinstrecke6095]

Finish it!

[@awesometurtle20]

Congrats! Keep on doing the good job.

[@kildeer1897]

You are incredible!

[@gnuPirate]

Demonstration 10/10

[@rendragyn]

wow! talk about difficult time signatures!

[@LucBoeren]

Super dope❤

[@andreadurbano3938]

Wow! Amazing as always... But this is the best track so far.

[@Agrivandal]

Ok this is so good

[@eo123smusicstudio-hr7io]

I rate this song a 7 out of 8

[@jonasreber9102]

Nice, reminds me of a score "Balkan Dance" by the swiss composer Etienne Crausaz, it has lots of 7/8 and 10/8 rhythms with an eastern / desert feel to it

[@IvanIvanov-uw9rw]

7/8 is Balkan and especially Bulgarian folk music ❤

[@TheNotableSircheese]

This is awesome

[@JohnnyRose775]

Loving the middle eastern flavor

[@oliparker]

thanks! Really keen to get this one finished sometime soon

[@Starter05]

These are amazing keep it up ❤

[@samuel_piper23]

This is so sick dude

[@Jonowright]

[@ErikratKhandnalie]

[@KristoferPettersson]

[@onyxiris]

[@cravingattention2771]

Ohhh yeaaaahhh maaaannn

[@ЧувакИзКосмоса]

Das ist insane!!!

[@chamodsamarasinghe1638]

Love the 7 against 11 (technically 11 against 7) at 1:24

[@The_Grim_Rabbit]

it's got an "Axplorer/Archeologist traveling to meet the boss of a jungle militia" vibe.

[@91825]

7-8 так называемая одежда

[@rainychristmas]

GODDAMN BRUH THAT FUCKS HARD BRUH

[@SeconDin420]

Dudethats awesome

[@sock534]

[@Tomhygatechoralmusic]

This sounds like the music that would play in a middle eastern scene of a Mexican show or vice versa

[@GiovanniTodaroLearnWith]

Very very good 🔥🔥🔥☄️☄️☄️

[@oculaliudinoskov8999]

[@Whynot402]

[@BrassMan4310]

Teach me your ways!

[@trumpettradesman]

Good job

[@razniklipove]

Slavi Trifonov and Ku-ku band type beat (just some Bulgarian stuff 😃) 🔥🔥🔥

[@Jaywitz]

bro i would love to take lessons from you. There are so many things I want to be able to do, but I can't and I have no direction on how to achieve these goals

[@oliparker]

send me an email and we can discuss lessons :) - email link in the 'about' area

[@รังสรรค์ทองกลับ]

I really like it when you play the trumpet. Very good accent

[@oliparker]

thanks for listening 🎺

[@rintfosk6850]

C&C general soundtrack vibes

[@sniper_37beard60]

This could easily be a Crown opener lol 😂
