piano attic

this is the second improvisation in a similar 'method' of 'reading beckett' (the first one being 'the portrait of a lame man').

piano in attic, attic in a piano.

this time more edgy in a dynamic range,

still slow and undecided.

That might change, but I liked the first one better, simply because this one seems to be much emptier than the previous, but anyway, I'll try to give it some more listens and see what happens.

if this emptiness comes/will come with sense of melancholy, then i'm happy with what the music achieved.

:)

I have to say that I enjoyed this one as well.

Well, this is very nicely put together. Sort of John Cage2. I like the way it builds and builds. How did you create all those glitchy sounds? Are they samples or what? Nice abrupt volume cutoffs towards the end.

Lush piano, by the way. TruePianos, maybe?

(You really don't pull any punches when it comes to MP3 bitrate. ;))

thanks, mike, for listen and kind words.

glithces (if you talk about them ones that come after the middel part) come into the file while you resample the building loops while they play, and play it afterwards, which results in cut files . all sound materials here are piano (i think from iowa edu center, grand piano big (in size) samples), clavichord, tonk (these are the glitches (when played way higher) i think you speak of) and bells. by playing them and resampling (all live) i got all the bass, glithes and other things for creating surroundings, space-place. naturally, it means most of them were out of tone in micro-macro way.

i'm a bit paranoid (among many other things) about punching soundwaves down, for then i start to imagine that i don't hear 'this crispy sound i thought was essential' or 'this subbass touch that seems to be lost somewhere' :)
