ePuccalicous is posted

Today, I posted an ePuccalo composition called ePuccalicous. It's a short piece that I submitted to a synthisizer competition recently...move over guitar and keyboard synth players...the ePuccalo is here!

I put this one together rather quickly and haven't cleaned it up or even mastered it yet, so it's a but raw. In some way that fits the piece's style.

This piece is done completely with my mouth - the bass, percussion and of-course the electronic whistling, but no guita…

10 MPH Movie Release Party

ePuccalo On The Road...

6/1/07

On Friday, I performed at the DVD relelase party for the new indie movie called 10 MPH. This was a lively event and with lots of people coming in and out of the screening room where I played. This was also part of the downtown Denver Gallery Night event that happens each month, so many people in attendance weren't familier with the film

10 MPH is an off-beat documentary about someone who travels across the U…

At 9:03pm on October 31, 2008, Dave Santucci said…: Hey Frank, thanks a bunch for the kind feedback on my Jazz Whistling video! I totally agree, it's good to explore less "traditional" genres so whistling will keep evolving. We need to push the envelope and explore more "hip" aspects of music, and I think that's what's needed if we are ever going to bring whistling back into another golden age. (Oh, did I forget to mention one of my goals is world domination? Just kidding of course, I just want to spread the joy and appreciation for good whistling everywhere, that's all.)

Anyway, so yea, I checked out your site, and Bow Wow Wow was pretty cool! I also liked FunkyJ a lot. That's my kind of whistling! I had already seen the YouTube vid but watched it again anyway; always good for another listen. (Was that a version of "FunkyJ" in the intro part of the video? Sounded similar...)

Thanks again! Talk to ya later.

Closed my eyes with the headphones on and practically had a flashback. (In a good way.) That was jammin'!! Hey also wanted to say thank you for posting on the forums and sharing your advice with all of us who someday hope to be good enough to go pro. It's really cool to get to hear from you and all the other greats here. Cheers! -- Dave
