Dave Bryce Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Steve J. needs everything organized into one thread so he can harvest it easily for the art work. If you could take a moment to post your credits here (even if you've already posted them in the other thread), it'd be appreciated... Song list: Edelweiss - Frank Lucas Lucy in the Sky with Bartok Carlo Mezzanotte For Mr. Grove (tribute to Dick) - Steve Leblanc Rebecca Roger Hooper Promenade/Firth of Fifth - Dave Bryce Common Ground Laurie Z. Piano Improv #1 Michael Erwin Thoughts About Nothing - SP Gulliver For Mr. Grove (tribute to Dick) Part 2 Byron Gaither Trio of Tunes - Pat Azzarello Honky Tonk Train Blues - Dave Fifield Wabi-Sabi Carl Kramer Waltz in Db - George Hoar Are You Alone? - Janet Graham The Sentinel - Phil Traynor Sashi Jerry Aiyathurai So Little Time - Dan Stecko Rebirth Albert Ibrahim Hatikvah - Sruly Nachfolger Total time: 1:10:35 Intro blurb: After five incredibly creative volumes of synths, singers, sequences, solos, and songs, it seemed like the right time here at The Keyboard Corner to pull the plug, kill the power, light a candle or two and dust off that forgotten piece of furniture over there in the corner. The one that many (if not most) of us started onThe Piano. Whether it is a spinet or upright, baby or concert grand, the piano remains a complete and unique instrument. It is the strings and brass, the tympanis and bells, woodwinds and percussion all rolled into one. Its the whole orchestra. An acoustic instrument with infinite dynamic range. An instantly familiar sound that is as different as each person who sits down to play it. It is classical, jazz, country, Latin, and rock n roll, all at the same time. And its just a piano. So enjoy the next hour or so, sit back, take a deep breath, relax, and let the hammers and strings do what they do. Its time to lower the electric bill and raise a toastcheers. Byron "steadyb" Gaither ...and my tune credit: Promenade/Firth of Fifth (Moussorgsky/Banks) Performed on a Yamaha MOTIF ES8, recorded straight to an Alesis Masterlink. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakit Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 I don't know what amounts to too much information. Feel free to lop off anything you want from the following: I played a Roland RD-100 to a Tascam Porta 02 MKII through a Zoom RFX-1000 Multi Effect Processor. I then burned the CD from the Tascam to my friends Philips stand-alone burner. This work represents one in a series of stream of consciousness improvisations that started without a single idea in my head. Each attempt for this compilation was built from openings that my fingers simply fell upon at random. Since, this method of composition is bound to create a plethora of missed and or sour notes as well as off time passages, I have entitled this piece, Wabi Sabi Wabi Sabi expresses the Japanese aesthetic that there is beauty in imperfection. This philosophy pretty much sums up the feelings that I wish to humbly evoke with this musical offering of spontaneous creation. Thats about it.

Llarion Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 The Sentinel Phil Llarion Traynor This piece was recorded on a Korg D1600 digital hard disk recorder, played on a Roland RD-500 digital piano, through a Zoom RFX-100 multi-effects unit. Mastered in Cool Edit Pro, using Waves and BBE plugins. This song happened quite by accident. I went into the studio ostensibly to write a smooth jazz piece for what was to be my first Smooth Jazz CD (a dichotomy of silence now available), and I wanted to warm up. Something told me to roll tape, as it were (OK, bits), and so I flipped the deck on and started noodling. 9-odd minutes later, it was done. This is an edited-for-length version; the full version will appear on my upcoming CD, Heaven. Cheers! Phil "Llarion: The Jazzinator" Traynor www.llarion.com Smooth Jazz - QUESTION AUTHORITY.

marino Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 OK - I pasted from a couple of previous posts of mine. _____________________________________________ "Lucy in the Sky with Bartok" ("Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by Lennon - McCartney) Carlo Mezzanotte, piano and piano arrangement Yamaha C3 Conservatory grand piano, recorded with a Neumann stereo mic, thru a tube preamp into Cubase SX. We added a *very* slight EQ and a tiny bit of Lexicon 480 reverb. Recording engineer: Alessandro Guardia Notes: I had the concept of this piece a long time ago. I've always been a big admirer of Bela Bartok - one of his strong points was to take simple popular melodies and arrange them with striking modern harmonies, but leaving the strenght and clarity of the melody intact. I've alway wondered what Bartok would have done if confonted with some of today's best pop melodies, the Beatles in particular. So I took one of my favorite Beatles' songs ("Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds") and arranged it in Bartok's style. It's mostly in odd signatures - 5 for the verse, 7 for the chorus, with a few twists in the middle. ________________________________________ Of course, this is much too long, so feel free to strip away anything that's not needed or simply doesn't fit.

I developed this tune while on a work contract in Sweden, hence the interest in the Malmsjo library. I used to sneak into an 12th century church in Nykoping to practice it on an actual Malmsjo piano.

Dave Bryce Posted October 25, 2003 Author Share Posted October 25, 2003 Note on my piece: It is unusual for me to submit or even perform a piece exactly as it is written on sheet music - I much prefer to just sit down at the piano and improvise, or else do my own version of someone else's music - I rarely if ever play something exactly the same way twice. These two pieces are especially challenging to me for different reasons - Promenade has passages that are interesting to play, but to me it is so much about simple feel. The piano intro to Firth of Fifth is technically a blast to perform, and yet also has to maintain a certain feel which (as we all know) can be difficult to allow to flow when one is concentrating on playing the right notes. It was quite a challenge for me to be able to play through them pretty much exactly as they're both written (thanks to Bart Garratt for providing me with the sheet music for Firth); and, in it's own way, is more daunting to me than free-form spur-of-the-moment improv, which I do all of the time. Consequently, I felt this was an appropriate selection for me to submit. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 Steve - The art looks great, as usual! My only comment is that the additional thoughts that I put in the thread concerning why I chose to submit the piece weren't really intended to go in the notes - they were just sort of an FYI. I suppose it'd have been a better idea to have put them in a different thread... Anyway, if you need space, or wanna change to a larger font, feel free to remove that part from my notes. As always, thanks for your efforts! dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marino Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Yeah, same for me. I added the notes as info for you all - but I didn't hope there would be enough space in the cover to actually print them. So please Steve, feel free to remove, change or reduce them as necessary. I could also provide you with a shorter version. And... thanks again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
