Ok, fact: I am really REALLY terrible at updating this blog on a regular basis.
Hopefully however, in about a week or two after all my exams have been expunged I can finally crack down and start recording the 5-6 ideas quite recently lodged in my head and start producing some decent improvs!
EXAMS!!! That's all it's been so far for the last 3-4 weeks and boy are they are an unwelcome kick in the crotch o_O! There's literally been a 'time-freeze' placed on all things social, hobby-ish, most sporting endeavours and everything non-academic related.The days/nights/all-nighters are now filled with reading, writing, your general cramming sprinkled with a touch of procrastination (or in my case a dollop right in the midst of it all).
*major sigh-age*
So basically, unable to concentrate any longer I decided to sit at the piano and bang out 'whatever'. Fortunately for me, I also had a fully-charged camera (this is actually quite a rare occurrence) sitting on the kitchen counter as I made my way over to the piano and I thought: "Hey. Why not?"
Fingers randomly decided to start playing on the C Sharp keys, which was very inconvenient seeing as I had no idea which key I was in seeing as I'm actually quite unaccustomed to C Sharp related keys, but none-the-less, this is 'improv', so I ploughed through and hopefully it didn't turn out that bad in-the-end =S.
Tried a new style this time, worked out eventually that the key was actually A Flat Major with a key change that I don't know slipped somewhere in there. A great moment of serendipity (YES! I've been wanting to use that word in a sentence for months now!) as I've now learnt of a new chord progression.
The song is a reflection of how I was feeling at the time of playing. Stresssssssed, but a lil' relaxed with the help of (without wanting to sound too much like a typical muso) the piano.
