The Music Videos

These are the first pure music videos. In making the Video Tour Journals available, I realized there was one thing missing, you never really see me play a song. So I am doing that here. These are Performance Videos". I haven't added any extra images or dance routines, they are just the performance of an entire song, selected out of the accumulated documentary footage, with logos or logoscreens added to frame the clip. These are not even selected exceptional performances, but are just what I normally do. I was just looking for the first complete songs I could find without some serious audio or visual problem. The first one was a recent performance, then I decided that it was more appropriate to use ones from the same year as the VTJs, one's you see moments of already.
Maybe I'll have a chance to do music videos, taking one of my songs and illustrating it with images and/or performance footage. I hope I'll be able to at least find some more technically passable performances. But I don't have time for that right now. All I want to do now is fill this lack in the tour journals, and let you just watch me play a whole song if you would like to.


The files are too large to offer uncompressed full screen videos, so I am providing the following smaller formats right now. Eventually I'll have time to add hand-held formats:
Small Screen hi-fi: 360x240 almost uncompressed, Cinepak codec avi, about 250 MBs
MP2 : the Small Screen video with MP2 compression using Jonathan Schlichther's avi2vcd, about 50 MBs
