Title: Piano improvisations
Post by: Soft-Hedwig on November 04, 2008, 05:31:00 pm: Hejsan

As Karl has been sharing some of his music with everybody, it's inspired me to share some piano improvisations i did. Both of these are done from scratch, with no prior planning involved.

No.1: here (http://www.thengamer.com/misc/Improvisation%20in%20Db%20Major.wma) Pretty easy on the ear, pretty straight-ahead and tonal.

No2: (http://www.thengamer.com/misc/Untitled%20%283%29.wma) (http://www.thengamer.com/misc/Untitled%20%283%29.wma)http://www.thengamer.com/misc/Untitled%20(3).wma (http://www.thengamer.com/misc/Untitled%20(3).wma) A bit more experimental, might not be to everyone's (or indeed anyone's) tastes.

Hope you enjoy.

EDIT: First link should work now

Post by: Soft-Hedwig on November 05, 2008, 05:33:00 am: I wouldn't say that the 2nd one is atonal, i'm using triadic improv in quite a lot of it, and there are identifiable key areas in most of it.

Post by: Carathorn on November 05, 2008, 03:29:00 pm: Ok, I listened to the first one now as well durk, I must say you found some pretty awesome harmonics in that improvisation. I think it is enough material to make out a real track. You think you can/will try that? Or are these improvisations just loose "experiments"?

Im curious!

Post by: wishiwasfamous on November 05, 2008, 06:40:00 pm: Yeah "key areas," not definite contrapuntal key signatures a la Bach, Mozart, Chopin, etc. It's like Stravinskian...

Maybe I'm just old fashioned (https://forums.the-elite.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ezboard.com%2Fintl%2Faenglish%2Fimages%2Femoticons%2Fwink.gif&hash=4979046fbfc7ed25a03644bf608e503c4aa73f0f)
