Memory

This piece is entitled "Memory". I don't know what else much to say about it.... although I will say that the piano music playing is not by me, some of you may recognize it (if you don't know what it is, I'll tell of course).

Memory

what is it? it sounds very familiar though. So you just mixed this? not bad, even though im not a fan of this kind of music. or did i misunderstand you?

Nah, I can't place it either.

It's a very picturesque kind of song. Though after the first 5 min, it........I really don't know how to describe this. It sounds a lot like some of the scenes from the SNES game, Earthbound.

Very strange indeed.

Hi Jeremy,

I like it when music is put into perspective/context, just like you did. No, I did not recognize the piano play, but you can always PM it to me :-). I was wondering how many recordings you used for the background. Was it a continuous recording? I also like the Chorus effects around 1/3 of the song. Later on this turns in some real explicit speed modulation as the piano gets more and more alienated I also like the end where the background takes over at surrealistic speed and when the piano kicks in one final time to close the piece.

Very nice! It evoked quite some images with me

Sorry, it's been a while since I've checked this. The piano piece I used is Copland's Four Piano Blues, and all of the background audio came from a single sound file of children playing outside in New York.

The reason I decided to use the Copland is because the piece has a very New York feel to it, sort of an urban thoughtscape. (Actually, Copland did write a piece with an Urban theme in mind, the Music for a Great City). The reason I titled it Memory is because it has a very nostalgic sound to it, and it reminded my piano teacher of the days he spent practicing in an urban enviroment. My teacher also proposed it could have something to do with how society tends to drown out beauty - just a thought though.

It is really cool and I like the various alterations "down the road"

Cheers,

Serge
