If cashless, tip Bosnian wedding musician by tapping bank card

No more excuses! If you don't have cash you can still tip Bosnian wedding musician Zeljko Djakic by tapping the bank card reader he has installed on the side of his accordion.

Very innovative... lol

I love the receipt - now people can deduct it from their taxes...

so why the three mikes?

I guess they are routed to different fx dedicated to specific songs?

Three microphones are mounted, one is for unison singing and the other two go to two vocoders that stick the upper and lower thirds to my voice

As in an equalizer or for purposes of a harmonization effect?
Either way interesting and innovative!

Your posts are adding a whole new dimension to this forum.
Thank you.
I can't wait to discover more.

In the region of the Western Balkans, folk music is also characterized by the fact that songs are sung in two voices.
The first voice sings the basic melody, and the second voice follows with a lower third, a sixth, a higher third depending on the harmonization and style of the song. In my case, I connected two vocalists, the upper third was activated on one, and the lower third on the other. The vocalists read the harmony from the bass - the left side of the accordion.
The thirds have a slight delay to make the sound image more natural.

In my onemandband performance, I use six channels on the mixtape.
Three microphones plus two channels for Roland fr4x, especially the bass, especially the keyboard, and a fourth microphone if one of the guests wants to sing.

Zeljko,
I'm sure some of our members would like to know how you have managed to attach three microphones and a card reader to your accordion?

 

[zeljko.djakic]

I cut a piece from the metal plate that I attached to the top of the Roland harmonica where there are four small screws, and to which I welded three microphone picks.
So that there are no traces left when I dismantle it.

And the card reader was stuck with self-adhesive velcro
