Really beautiful stuff! Thanks for sharing!
This is great too! Saving it for future listening.
Great work @McD and @Dav . Preferred the first version of ‘Walking the Path by Dav’ but as @McD says the original is a great piece of music in its own right 👌
Thank you @GeoTony and @bpert!
I finally purchased pianoteq (been using it in demo mode). Plan to start recording more with it now.
I bought the new Bosendoefer piano for pianoteq last night and played around with it making this chord improv thing, I will call "Tahiti Time'. It wasn't meant to be a recording but it ended up that way.
First played some Polyonesian chords on the piano, added a bass then vibraphone and a string pad in iM1. Used MIDI tape recorder so there's only 4 track to this. It sounds like more than 4 because I opened Borsta/Ting/Speldosa/Moodunit and assigned a track to also play those AU sounds. Doing that generates an instant soft beat without work. While AUM was recording the song I played DrumJam live with it so there's more percussion sounds because of that.
Used MIDI Tape recorder, 4 tracks in AUM at 85 BPM.
Track 1: Pianoteq Bosendorfer piano (track also plays Borsta & Ting AU's)
Track 2: BeatHawk Total bass (track plays Borsta and Ting AU's)
Track 3: Pianoteq Vibraphone (track also plays Speldosa and Moodunit AU's)
Track 4: Korg iM1 Cloud pad preset (i think...)
It's not really a song, jut some relaxing chords.
Really putting the new Bosendorfer piano in pianoteq to the test tonight.
I'd like to dedicate this night piano improv to @LinearLineman. Hey LL, listening to your solo piano the last couple years, how free and expressive you are, has helped me grow as a piano player too I think. I'm still much too chordal, but feel more free playing than a couple years ago. This one's for you!
Here I took a short little idea and just played with it some. No plan, just improving (getting lost!}. I mainly wanted to see how expressive this new piano sound can be, and if it was work the extra $50! Minimal effects added. This is the Bosendorfer Jazz piano setting. I really like the new piano!
Hi Dav, that’s a lovely track. In case you haven’t read all of these, they’re the three most important subjects my teacher, Connie Crothers taught me. I can honestly say that this was all that was necessary for me to get in touch with the “zone”,
plus a shitload of chord work
(Written out pages of chord voicings 135, 1356, 137, 1357, 251, 2561, 3561, 369, 5713, like that, played thru all 12 keys)
and singing along with solos of jazz greats.
and playing scales with different fingerings, like 12, 13, 123, 45, 345… which I learned to play ultra slowly using the non muscular technique described below and also, by my own inclination, to play scales as though they were melodies.
There was very little harmonic structure work, since it was a weakness for me.
One thing interesting about chords. For me, it became very much about the shapes my hands took playing chords. Interesting shapes, interesting chords.
You’re good, and you express a lot of feeling… which is, in my book, the most important thing.
I think these essays and the exercises could take you a long way, my friend.

Interesting! Leaving home now, but I will digest that when getting back. Have a good day!
What a lovely bit of playing, and yes, the Bösendorfer sounding gorgeous here.
I’d pay good money for a @Dav / @LinearLineman duet…
Lovely gentle playing on those last two tracks 🙏
Extremely good improvisation! What beautiful chords. Chapo! frenq
Wow! Thank you @LinearLineman! I have a day off tomorrow to get into it! Will explore that concept! You were so fortunate to have such a piano mentor.
Thank you kindly @Gavinski, @GeoTony and @Frenq. Much appreciated!
Here's a little night time waltz I quickly put together tonight after coming home from playing a very long and loud party gig. Just had to unwind with something soft and different, using a classical Pianoteq piano.
Used the 4-track Midi Tape recorder setup like the others.
Track 1: Pianoteq piano (NY Steinway D Classical)
Track 2: A Soundfont bass
Track 3: Moodunit sound of some kind
Track 4: A low drum sound
I’m not sure how I missed these new recordings. I’m caught up now!
I can’t sleep and I noticed activity on the thread and listened to the new work.
I’m a fan of your playing and improvisations. Some really interesting chords… very evocative if some great film music in many spots.
The Tahiti piece brings me back to the music of my youth living is Hawaii in the 50’s… thee was a whole lounge era led by Martin Denny. Very commercial music but still beautiful to me and I’m sure it shaped my love of the piano + vibes pairing.
People say I like sad music but I also love these types of lounge jazz and appreciate people that can just play it without sticking strictly to some pre-composed arrangement but make it different every time.
My dad had that skill and would find better lounge musicians and invite them to the house. One of them very careful gave me a beginer's intro to playing 12 bar blues. Tgat changed my life. i was probably 12 or so.
my dad was strictly standards abd played to accompany himself, my mothrr and friends singing. so his solo chops were under-developed but he had many fake books for me to learn chord progressions from. i never did the serious work until college and hit a good enough plateau and stopped practicing.
i hope yiu keep sharing here.
Hey, thanks @McD. Oh yes I’ve heard some Martin Denny stuff. I like a lot of the tiki lounge music. Sometimes I listen to ‘Tiki Radio’ or ‘ The Quiet Village’ online radio stations to fall asleep to.
My dad was stationed in Hawaii in the 50’s. He said it was really nice back then. He was in the Korean War. My wife is Korean, I use to joke with him that I’m in a Korean War now, lol.
Here’s the midi to the waltz if you should ever want to mess with it. I converted to format 0 MIDI file, for some reason the MIDI format Midi Tape Recorder saves files in isn’t very compatible with most of my MIDI apps.
It’s messing with me… the performance doesn’t align with the MIDI clock of the recording app.
StaffPad tries to put the notes close to where it’s clock expects notes to be and the results are
less than musical. I have had similar experience trying to arrange piano performances by @Linearlineman.
Ah, I guess I should record things with a metronome instead of free play. Oh well, don’t waste any time on it then. Thanks for the try though.
Since StaffPad is on sale I am seriously considering picking it up now. I sure like the staffpad songs I hear from you and others.
