Piano Dreamer
Jan. 15th, 2014 02:29 pmI recorded an album Piano Dreamer - for Paradise music. Had a great time - recorded it in 3 days and mixed it on the 4th. Wafty piano improvising over a backdrop of wafty ambient electronics & acousticness. A continuous 50min piece I divided it into sections and made each section a different modal scale, varying the keys, and adding one section of Scribin's Mystic chord scale. I improvised the piano part in one go which was quite a trip.
I later found that the piano-only mix sounded pretty good too, so offered that to the label as Piano - an alternate mix for download.
Then G suggested a mix with wafty background but with no piano - that sounded good too so offered that to the label as Dreamer - another alternate album for download.
I then did the graphis and worked on the cover art for all 3 of these "albums"
Paradise wanted versions of each with the sections divided into separate tracks, so I cut the sections up and tidied/faded the start and finish of each track.
The album will be out soon.
For the moment I've pt some tracks on Soundcloud
