+title: “Tianshi” on Alto Stick

+When my colleague was in the middle of preparations for getting married, he
+asked me to play a nice song at his wedding. “Nice” songs are a
+neglected minority in Chinese pop music; most of the popular songs deal with
+love affairs gone wrong, broken hearts, the loss of the original feeling, or
+they describe the emptiness after the loved one has passed away. Nothing that
+would really fit to the (admittedly cheesy) celebration of Eternal Love™.
+Hence, my vast catalogue of popular songs was all but useless. I had to learn
+how to play a new song: Mayday᾿s “Angel”.
+
+This is my practise session in its blunt ugliness. I spliced in a solo section
+recorded at a different angle to divert you from the boredom. As you will
+probably notice, the introduction was lifted from my improvisation
+[“Flow” which I recorded
+earlier](/posts/2010-08-05-flow-on-the-alto-stick-video.html). 
+
+(Yes, this is the same shirt as in my last video...)
+
+My next recording will likely be an original song, unless I will be asked by my
+friends at youku.com for more sino pop before it is ready.

+I offer this video for download in several formats. Choose one from the list
+below. When you do not want to care about codecs, [download the free VLC
+player](http://videolan.org). If you are on Linux `mplayer` will work fine,
+too.
