Video: It's a Sin
As I mentioned in a recent Entry I like to make videos for YouTube occasionally and my inspiration is a line from the song 'Left to my own devices' by the Pet Shop Boys: 'Che Guevara and Debussy to a Disco Beat' as I enjoy playing classical music themes on my Yamaha electronic keyboard accompanied by Disco Beats1 from the integral rhythm library. However, like the keyboardmeister Dmitri, I don't just restrict my playing to classical tunes. I struggle to do justice to Queen songs but I like a bit of pop every now and then. In particular Pet Shop Boys songs often lend themselves well to being arranged for my keyboard.
One of my favourite Pet Shop Boys songs is 'It's a sin', because I can identify with quite a few of the lyrics ('At school they taught me how to be, so pure in thought and word and deed - they didn't quite succeed...') so the first Pet Shop Boys video I made was of that song.
I'm rather proud of the video, even though I do say so myself, because I can really sense when I watch it how inspired I was by the music when I put the images together. Plus the video making software serendipitously worked really well for me so, rather than having to wrestle with technical difficulties, I was easily able to create what I had in mind.
