Using Ustream to Share Life LIVE

This weekend I was tasked with recording some video for my nephew, Conner, who is applying for university music programs. Some of of them requested a live taped performance as part of their requirements. As his video blogging auntie it was my job to help him figure out how to capture what he needed to deliver it to the schools. I recorded his audition on a Sony Handycam and when we were done with that I decided also to stream it live too. This video and audio is from my Sony VAIO laptop computer. I broadcast the audio and video you are watching above live to friends who tuned in after I sent out a few notes on twitter and facebook pointing them to the URL.

I’m astounded by the technology both on my computer but also of the website I used to stream live called Ustream. I recorded a similar video back in 2008 and it was almost unwatchable. This time, I’m proudly sharing the link over and over again both because the quality is so good and because my nephew is a star. BTW- some of the pieces he performs are his original compositions.

Enjoy the concert and if you have any questions about the live stream, or about the music leave me a note!

    Wow Sukhjit, I finally had a chance to listen to your nephew. He is an artist. Let us know where he ends up. would love tips in a few years when my daughter is doing the same.
  • Ana! Thanks for taking the time to listen! Will share all that we've learned about the music school application process. It's a lot of work... but worth it. I'm excited to see where my nephew ends up going!
  • oh my gosh Sukhjit! I remember when you were live with this and I bounced in the stream and heard it live for the first time! I thought I was hearing an angel! It touched me so deeply and thank you for sharing it with us! Divine!
  • Hey Jenae! I totally remember that video. It's been over a year... that was one of the first videos I did when I started experimenting with live video streams. It was so exciting.. still is. Plus I'm so proud to share my nephew's music. I wonder if he'll go to college near where you are.

    BTW- It was so great to see you in LV. Great to see you back in action!
  • Love the piano. Your nephew is pretty good. I used to study piano when I was younger and then went to boarding school in India, so that did it for my piano career :) When I am older I would like to get back into music again. Till then I get to enjoy listening at least.
  • I saw your tweet thanking people who had stopped in. This was very nice he's good. Your proud life is good.
  • Thanks O. You reminded me how important it is to capture moments with family. Thanks for the visit. =)
