May 25, 200619 yr I write this piano piece a while ago. It's not just piano, but it carries the melody, and the other instruments (a string and some light drums) could easily be removed and have the song essentially the same. http://www.bekleined.com/Vol4/17Sanctuary.mp3 (new link) Yeah, it's not exactly Beethoven, I know.
May 25, 200619 yr I think this would be much nicer without the drums. They detract from the piece as a whole, in this case, and don't really (at least, in my humble opinion) at much to it. It's nice, relaxing, except the drums take enough away from it to make it slightly irritating, heh. Also, the drums are exactly the same throughout with no variation. You might want to add some variation to it if you leave them in, since no drummer will play exactly the same thing over and over again.
May 26, 200619 yr Author I can't get a real pianest for this (and I'll show you why later), so I'm not bother going to try to get real drums. :)
May 26, 200619 yr That's not what I meant, heh. Whether or not it's actually physically playable, it's still best to make it sound realistic.
