QuappenHi all, before my retirement I used to be a secondary school teacher. From 1990 to 1993 I was delegated to an elementary school. There I had to teach (among some other subjects) general knowledge. 1991 one of our topics was "tadpoles". So we got some spawn from a puddle and put it into a fish tank. For some weeks I filmed the development every day with a close-up lens until the frogs were in their final stage. Then we released them. Unfortunately one of the young ones jumped into the mouth of a big fat adult. The music I made as a soundtrack was all handmade. I played everything on my keyboard including the drums and percussion. Last Sunday my "rental daughter" (daughter of my girlfriend) who is an elementary school teacher asked me if I had a digital copy of the film to show it to her class. So I digitized the video cassette. (I'm afraid I couldn't avoid some dropouts). As I heard the 23 year old music I thought I could beef it up a little bit with Realtracks. And here is what came out. Realtracks used: RT1061 Sax, Soprano, Solist SmoothJazz-Ballade Ev16 RT1167 Gitarre, Elektro, Solist RockBallade Brent Ev RT1441_Sax,Alto,Sol,JzFnkGrvnEv110 The title comes from the German word "Kaulquappen" which means tadpoles. So a translation would be "Poles". I suggest to watch the complete film (about 11 minutes). Aside from the music it's really interesting and I'm sure most of you have never seen anything like that before. Find out that tadpoles are cannibals. http://youtu.be/khrtDoTvk50Enjoy. Guenter

Hi, Guenter !
I must say that both film and
music are absolutely stunning !:))
That sublime eerie sound could very well
have been a main feature in a
science fiction film as well !:))
Cheers

Guenter,
As Dani said the film and the music are amazing.
What a good teacher you must have been to have even thought of doing a video.
thanks for sharing

Mesmerizing.....had I to do it all over again I would have gotten degrees in biology (rather than psychology) so I find this particularly fascinating. Janice and I always marvel at the different stages of tadpoles as we walk a creek on our homestead and paddle on a local river. We have a variety of frogs and a toad so we get to see different types of tadpoles.
This production is simply amazing. The audio track is PERFECT for the video. Your students were lucky, indeed. Thanks for doing this and bringing it to all of us.
Again, mesmerizing.

Guenter, great video, great music, great everything.
What a wonderful demonstration of evolution and metamorphosis
Your students should be very pleased with your efforts to capture this evolving process.
Most importantly, the existence of frogs are a great indicator of a healthy environment
Well done, and thanks for putting this presentation together

Very cool. I had an aquarium somewhere along the line as a kid and used to catch 'em and watch that entire process. Fascinating stuff. I enjoyed your video quite a bit! Thanks.

Guenter,
Fascinating!
Your score evolved with your frogs! The strings were well played throughout. The bass lines were terrific! - did you play that with a bass guitar or on a keyboard (it had a guitar feel). The incorporation of BIAB into an existing piece were seamless...
Enjoyable look and listen!

Hi Rob & Anne-Marie, Patrick, SpaceDog and Floyd,
thanks a lot for your nice comments.
@Floyd: Everything was played on a keyboard.
I haven't played a real bass guitar since 1980, when I started using samples. It's nice when it has a guitar feel.

Hi Guenter
Wow !! What fantastic photography AND music. I would have loved to have a teacher that showed me stuff like that. You are definitely one of the most creative (if not THE most creative) people on this forum.
