I'm sure you can hear the musical theatre influence in the music of Native Construct. We're big fans of it, and this is a tune from an old favorite of ours, Les Misérables. Myles did this arrangement for Rob to sing on back in our freshman year of college, just for fun. We did a little recording of it in a dorm room, and that was that.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago -- our guitarist, Poh Hock, was competing in the .strandberg* Guitar Competition. A portion of the competition was decided by popular vote, and we called on our fans for assistance. Turns out we have a great little community going here; we received an outstanding amount of support, and Poh Hock ended up taking first place in the competition. So, as a token of our appreciation, we decided to dust off this old arrangement and make a new and improved version of it for everyone to enjoy.
We recorded all new vocals from Rob, and he also did a fresh mix and master of the whole thing. And Max directed, shot, and edited this video of it all, for your viewing pleasure. Thanks again, guys; hope you like it!
