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.

Wow. That made me really ... happy.
ReplyDeleteAmazing.
BEST YET BEST YET (on this blog) REALLY enjoyed that. Oh and that key change worked beautifully. Loved every second of it :)
ReplyDeleteLess youtube searching, more piano playing. Who would have thought a new blog post would lead to more nagging about uploading more blog posts? :P
