Happy [Cover] • by Casey Driessen • Fiddles (all music) + Vocals (original)

I was thinking about how to celebrate the 1st birthday of The Chop Notation Project in a fun way...hmmm. The chop can make people groove...Fiddles and dancing go great together...How about a chopped cover of Happy? (Enjoy with headphones if possible.)
All music made by fiddles (incl. bass & percussion), played, recorded, and mixed by Casey Driessen. Original Pharrell vocals track found on KZbin. Vocals track and likenesses of Richard Greene, Darol Anger, and Oriol Saña used without permission.
I publish this with apologies to and greatest respect for Richard Greene (originator of the chop), Darol Anger (chop patient zero), and Oriol Saña (partner of The Chop Notation Project). Thank you all for your music, your immense contributions to this technique and project, and your friendship.
I'm also sorry to Pharrell and respect his music. I hope he likes it if he ever hears it.
ABOUT THE CHOP NOTATION PROJECT:
The Chop Notation Project is a written work (free PDF download) which creates and establishes a standardized music notation to read and write percussive the bowed string technique known as chopping, bringing it up to speed with the current playing practice. Created by myself in partnership with Spanish violinist Oriol Saña, and through consultation with other recognized “choppers,” the hope is that a system such as this will enable composers and players to share and communicate their musical ideas more easily across the globe.
