(Scratch that previous post. I found some webspace. :D)
Well, a few weeks ago I got a new piano. My first actual piano. Until this
point I've been playing on crappy weightless keyed keyboards that are
missing octaves and have horribly synthesized sounds. But that's all
changed. So I've been improvising like crazy, an hour a day usually, on my
new piano, but I realized I haven't played some of the old songs that I
used to play on my keyboards in quite some time. With the acception of
Find Your Way, I've been improvising on that theme a little bit, mostly
just using the bass line and playing some licks in A minor.
Anyway, I grabbed my microphone and hooked it up to my mom's laptop
and got it going. It's pretty soft so you'll have to turn your sound up,
and it cuts out every couple minutes (usually at important parts) but only
for like half a second. Just enough so that you miss like 1 note and it sets
the timing all off. :p
It starts with The Nightmare's Beginning, followed by Find Your Way,
To Zanarkand, and finally Ahead on Our Way from the FFV piano collections
(first PC song I learned). Ahead is sort of...rough though. The piano is
old and some of the keys are sticky, so some of the bass lines get
a little empty, but for the most part I guess it came out alright.
Anyway, here it is, all one take and it's about 10 and a half minutes long.
Feedback appreciated...hope you like it. :)
