Some piano solo
Just some piano, nothing fancy.

That’s nice. What piano are you using? Btw, the piano image is inverted. The curve is on the wrong side.
Thanks @LinearLineman for taking the time to listen.
The piano is an old Erard, recorded with two AT4050.
I know the image is wrong, it is AI generated and I loved the mood with the piano on the left, but couldn't find a way to make dall-E draw the piano right.
Ah, dall-E strikes again! It is a good image. I think I’ve heard of Erard.
It is a very old piano made before WWII.
Wait… that’s a physical piano. It sounds almost as good as Ravenscroft 275.
I tuned my own Grand after I paid an elderly gentleman to do so and his Peterson Strobocon tuner was set incorrectly
And I couldn’t play with backing tracks… at the time I didn’t have access to the iPad tools I do now to pitch shift files.
OK… back to the music at hand: a real piano recording of an actual performance. I am humbled by the effort required to produce such a piece. At my age I prefer using technology to avoid the practicing needed but I do respect people that have done the work and can create “old school” musical artifacts. There will always be a small percentage of children that take
Road to competence in musical skills of all approaches.
Thank you @McD. It isn't my piano. I wish I had the room for it (and the money to buy it and keep it in shape and tune). I didn't record it all in one take. I quite struggled with a few passage. There are 5 parts, the best 5 of many many takes.
I spent too much time on the EQ trying to revive the basses (my mics are clearly not made to record a piano), clarify the mediums, mitigate some weird resonances on a few notes, and remove some annoying shhhhhhhhhhhh in the recordings.
In the end, you can't even really ear the stereo take.
The piano sounds great. Beautiful composition !
Very Nice! Good composition, and playing. I love the moody image too.
Thank you @Dav and @JanKun .
This one improvised a couple years ago. Then I rewrote it a few weeks ago because I knew I was gonna be allowed to put my greasy fingers on that Beautiful Piano.
Really couldn’t tell it wasn’t recorded in one take… lovely piece 👌
Thanks @GeoTony . Even if it isn't a super technical piece, I wish my piano skills allowed me to record it properly in one take.
But of course, to make things more complicated, when rehearsing, I play somehow ok, and as soon as I hit the record button I F up the first 3 notes and can't seem to play right anymore.
I try to cut -> overlap crossfade paste in the tail of the notes decay, that way you can't ear it when the final reverb is added. Well you can still ear it at 2:10 if you pay attention and look for it.
Ha… know exactly what you mean… I did a version of Mood for a Day a while ago… could play it fine when not recording… must have taken me 100+ attempts as soon as it was listening to me!
That does sound lovely, I keep trying to persuade my partner to let me take one of the many free uprights offered round here into the house but she’s not succumbed to the idea yet…
I love that the ai flipped the piano, reminds me of those old war comics where the bad guys would try and impersonate the good guys but hang the flag upside down…
Thanks for listening Jason
