  1. Without a root, it's a whole tone cluster, for a "cloud" whole tone effect. SK
  2. Hey Mark. Thank you guys... and DB, great job running this place! Best Regards, SK
  3. Amazed this thread is still here! I made the first post back in 2006. A big hello to anyone who may still be here from then. This is "In A Sentimental Mood". I did it a couple days ago, then realized it qualifies - at times - as a 'reharm'. Using Logic, and Keyscape customized C7, featuring a uniquely damaged Roland keyboard action from a guy who sat in and played too hard, and a sporadically sticking pedal. Other than that... My best to everyone.
  4. Sorry to hear this. He seemed to be a genuinely nice guy and his Spacestation product was innovative. I certainly hope the company continues, and RIP.
  5. It hurts to read this. I was on a weekly quartet gig with Kofi on flute back in the 80's in Va. Beach with Billy Drummond on drums. We only played a dozen times or more, but I always remembered Kofi's musicality - totally great to play with. Rest in Peace, Kofi.
  6. Hey thanks Dave, it's fine with me. Fun to hear these archeological digs from the RR - I wish it was all still intact. And thanks Carlo, Linwood, Dave and everybody who made this thread what it was/is - and to Dave Bryce for making it a Key Thread! Originally, I only hoping for a place on KC to share musical ideas, from full reharms to basic chord variations or lines. And it's still going!
  7. Glad you broke the lock open on the door. Nice Solar - it has almost a mysterious quality. Along with the unpredictable voicings, I like the intro being around G... and the occasional left hand lines playing off the melody.
  8. Joe, not sure that it's quotable, but you're welcome to it. ... like back when all the file links still worked! There was some good music in here from members. And it evolved as a harmonic workshop... I know for myself, I'd be influenced by something marino, Linwood or Dave did (and others), and it would be applied to the next song.
  9. Thanks so much for the kindnesses... fun to post in "the Room" again! Nice to 'meet' you, Uncle Jam, thanks. And thanks, Reezekeys. Actually, it's kinda low-fi... maybe it was recorded on a Zoom with an auto limiter, as the background noise drops when we play. Dave, thanks a lot. I don't know what I played there. The keyboard seemed like a toy... so I had fun just playing at it. I enjoyed your thoughtful, rich voicings on Polka Dots, plus the quality recording you're getting! And Dan, in the video - that was a nice, personal version of Skylark.
  10. Very nice playing/renditions by Dave (the tuned piano sounds beautiful) and that Skylark video too. So cool to see this thread inhabited again. Although I'm not posting reharms these days, just playing on a song will have its own reharms/ideas/substitutions. Against my better judgment, here's a very low-fi recording from a soundcheck (background talking, etc.), playing with a talented trumpet player and me on some keyboard I wasn't comfortable with. Just a spontaneous 'All The Things You Are' from 2 yrs ago, no reharm per se, but perhaps some 'harm'.
  11. Hey, nice to see this old thread alive again. Thanks, Dave, for reviving it and drawing my attention to it, and to all the contributors. I haven't listened to the newest files yet - I look forward to hearing them. Too bad so many of the early files have disappeared, whatever they were - that was a long time ago. There was a lot of music in those. My take on reharms has changed now - instead of approaching everything as total new reharms where you feel compelled to completely redo a song, it's really just playing with new approaches, ideas/chords in a personal way. That allows anything to happen, from total reharms to pieces with new ideas. Maybe I could have called it "The Imagination Room" or The Re-imagination Room". I hope to post something soon. Meanwhile, here's a fresh approach to a Xmas tune: [video:youtube]
  12. Yeah Linwood, most impressive. I think this is the new standard for virtual acoustic pianos and keyboards. At this level of quality, $399 would be a good price just for the C7 or Rhodes. Just from using Trilian for years, which has maximum body/tone and can easily dominate a mix - now there are pianos/keyboards that can match it.
  13. Very nice, Steve. Nice lines/feel (most importantly) and recording.
  14. Hey, just wanted to mention I listed my VR-09 in classifieds here. Thought I'd give it a chance to sell first on KC before I list it on a broader market. Thanks. [hijack off]
  15. As a pianist first, I understand your concerns. I was skeptical too before I'd played through it. Sound is impossible to describe, but the thing is the sound coming from the inside of a grand piano is not focused into a stereo sweet spot. It's a mass of frequencies that goes into the air - you hear it everywhere in "3D." That's really what this amp does. And sure, it will sound a little different if you're too close to it, but it still sounds present and clear everywhere, even when you're too close.
