7/8 goes so hard, it just messes with my brain too much😂

[@oliparker]

yeah it can get a bit confusing at times! Really fun to play though

[@JustiaFiat]

It's easy if you know how to count it. Think of the 'zwiefacher' a Folksong Style consisting of 2 rapidly switching time signatures (mostly 2/4 and 3/4 or 3/4 and 4/4). Here it's 2/4 and 3/8 switching rapidly. So you Always Count 1.2.123 1.2.123

[@elikemlee5679]

This makes more sense than 5/8.. 5/8 always kills my brain😂😂

[@KirizenStudios]

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

[@thenelsonbruhs722]

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 🤩

[@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

[@brucek6563]

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

[@sobachiyac]

7-8

[@mores172]

Или 5-6

[@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.

[@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.

[@thezebiano]

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

[@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

[@tomatocroissant378]

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

[@817slbav]

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

[@lucky115_5]

We need a full version ASAP

[@lw_official4689]

Giving hard DCI vibes

[@fitchyyboi]

Word as hell

[@class7404]

Colts 2022, Silk Road vibes for sure

[@orlanswf]

i love 7/8 songs SO MUCH

[@hunterbaker1228]

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

[@positivegecko7856]

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

[@tinoavila4958]

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

[@russelljazzbeck]

Yes to playing an eleventet in 7/8

[@ltravail]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@robinhood463]

Wunderschön ❤

[@LucBoeren]

Super dope❤

[@mmbcproductions3340]

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

[@OssianEMills]

That high Bb was smooth!

[@franciscobranco4240]

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

[@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.

[@marshalmcdonald7476]

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

[@DanaTheLateBloomingFruitLoop]

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

[@johnnytheyoungmaestro]

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

[@Jan_Kitalon]

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

[@tjmmcd1]

What an OUTSTANDING trumpet/flugelhorn player. Chills!

[@russkuksin8782]

Butter smooth!

[@awesometurtle20]

nice vibesss I love this for some reason this got me thinking about dune

[@BekramCarr]

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

[@lewishoff9406]

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

[@panpolypuff]

Flugel tone so smooth 😍

[@onyxiris6451]

I fucking love this

[@lucasyoungers]

My favorite time signature!

[@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 😂

[@HolandaFilmes]

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

[@eo123smusicstudio-hr7io]

I rate this song a 7 out of 8

[@DJBlackNGold]

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

[@rainychristmas]

GODDAMN BRUH THAT FUCKS HARD BRUH

[@guylaboque6760]

Need a full version of this 😍

[@rendragyn]

wow! talk about difficult time signatures!

[@vincentgraffeo9030]

Your playing is mind blowing.

[@luislasbelin]

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

[@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!

[@maxwellcraig2589]

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

[@MihaiSorohan]

Really really cool composition and playing.

[@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.

[@accordv6er]

Added metal bass. Amazing. MJK would approve

[@Jimmothytv]

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

[@Agrivandal]

Ok this is so good

[@ErikratKhandnalie]

damn, this goes so hard

[@KleberebelK18]

Congrats! Keep on doing the good job.

[@TheNotableSircheese]

This is awesome

[@rintfosk6850]

C&C general soundtrack vibes

[@Whynot402]

Another video, yay.

[@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 🔥🔥🔥☄️☄️☄️

[@ChrisAndTheTrumpet]

what a fun meter! that was awesome!

[@Jonowright]

[@maxyeet]

Might be the best flugelhorn vid yet

[@JohnnyRose775]

Loving the middle eastern flavor

[@oliparker]

[@andreadurbano3938]

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

[@sniper_37beard60]

This could easily be a Crown opener lol 😂

[@razniklipove]

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

[@sock534]

[@martinstrecke6095]

[@fine8087]

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

[@BrassMan4310]

[@marciobarros9973]

You are so amazing

[@oculaliudinoskov8999]

man its a very nice track has these desert/Egypt feel to it would love to have the full version, btw why do you have yellow eyes is every thing okay??

[@KristoferPettersson]

That was beautiful!

[@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

[@samuel_piper23]

This is so sick dude

[@WiddleFiddle]

*channels the power of Ra while sliding down a pyrimid*

[@anactualhumanbeing9493]

Colts 2022 ahh groove 💀

[@adriangutierrez2859]

that 7:11 went crazy dude. good job

[@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

[@user-pg8rl6lu1t]

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

[@oliparker]

thanks for listening 🎺

[@The_Grim_Rabbit]

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

[@DanielVargaTrombone]

What flugelhorn do you play on? Is that a Yamaha? Which brand would you personally recommend? Awesome solo btw!

[@RealEmerald]

Bro how long have you been playing? You’re sooo good.

[@tabbycrumch3062]

john zorn type beat. this is sick

[@IvanIvanov-uw9rw]

7/8 is Balkan and especially Bulgarian folk music ❤
