First smoke-free recording

[pianoguy]

I haven't been playing piano much at all for the past couple of years, but I got the itch to record something tonight. So I revamped a tune I wrote back around 2004 or so, called 'One Last Ride'. It felt funny not to have to run out to the garage to have a cig every so often as I used to do during the process. Anyway, here it is, rust and all:

Very nice.

That's a nice piano sound. Is it sampled or a mic'ed acoustic?

If it's acoustic, what mics/piano did you use?

 

[pianoguy]

Thanks much! It's a Yamaha Clavinova, sampled from one of their grands.

Wonderful playing and recording, man! Have I seen you over at homerecording.com? I do a lot of recording myself and have suggested that studio owners keep some vaping gear available for the artists. Like you said, it sure beats running outside between takes.

It's shame that you haven't been playing much. Your music is beautiful pianoguy!

VERY nice. I enjoyed it immensely! I just told my husband that I should go buy me some piano compilation discs to listen to on the go....I then asked him if it meant I was getting old if I just wanted to listen to piano, bag pipes, jazz, and such without music. He rolled his eyes..You know, I don't guess it matters IF I'm getting older as long as I'm growing wiser as I do it! Thanks for sharing. I hope to hear more of your music (as I'm growing older)

Thanks a lot, everybody!

jeffree, I haven't been to homerecording.com, but will be sure to check it out.

I remember the garage (and it's only been a week of vapin'), it was my sanctuary for analogs!

This was one of the reasons I started looking into vaping.

As a lot of people here don't know, but I love piano and classical music. This is probably the best piano playing I've herd in a long time, you are very good. Keep up the good work with it.

very nice

Thanks much!

I was rooting around looking for something last night, and stumbled onto the original sloppy sketch that became the chorus for this tune:

I'd love to hear some samples of what you other folks that record have done!

There is a fair amount on the site (I think 54 tracks), so it might be easier to search by the Music Genre categories for a style of music you prefer.

Being a piano player, you might dig this one.

That's very tasty, great stuff! I'll be sure to check out the others as well. I see you used a Kurzweil on some of your tracks - I bought a PC3X a while back, but haven't done much with it yet.

Beautiful! My dad was a piano player, how I miss hearing him Play.

Thank You!

Why smoke when You Can VAPE!!

 

[flying low]

Pianoguy - that was beautiful!!!

Thanks.

Yes. I have two Kurzweil pieces. The PC88 and the Micropiano. The PC88 is a fantastic controller. It plays and feels almost like my Steinway. The Steinway is a little lighter on the action actually. The Micropiano is just a box with the same piano sounds as the PC88.

I haven't used the PC3X, but from what I can tell most of the Kurzweil weighted action is good.
