Whispers (a tale on piano)

Post by jeanette_c »

Hey hey, here's something from the archives called Whispers:
https://youtu.be/yjeilEyrcBI
It was meant as a story/lovesong. I picked it out because it creates a nice arch from the brooding moody intro, through the stuff of lovesongs on to something else...
I think the piano was PMI/Sampletekk's Black Grand (medium ambience) with a lexicon chamber IR reverb processed through jconvolver. The rest is noise or music. :)
Best wishes, Jeanette

Damn, you are good! I listened to it with Kajsa, we liked it a lot!

I am impressed with some chord changes, and how you play it piano/keyboard.

Very beautiful!

I'm always impressed by your proficiency with the piano, and this makes no exception... actually, this may be one of the pieces you shared I liked the most so far, just for the brillancy of the composition and execution. The first minute in particular, with the 7/8 (7/4?) part and how it then changes, reminded me of the amazing piano parts in Renaissance songs, while 4:30 onward reminded me of Brad Love, yet another aor/prog artist that really knew how to make a piano sing!

Hi @Rainmak3r , funny thing: I didn't even know/realise at the time that I was playing in 7/8, that's how I'd count iot now. That's the blessing and curse in playing completely free. You just do it. :)
The end of the piece foreshadowed the next song of that album and thus has a much more proggy attitude in preparation. :)

Let's hope your archives continue to grow, and go public. 8)
This is a very enjoyable tale. It would be unfair to name-drop famous artist names here,
because the music is not theirs, but yours. So I will only suggest that if you were playing this
in the lobby of some high-end resort in Las Vegas, that people normally worthy of being namedropped,
would stop and listen.
Godspeed

I am speechless at the quality of this. Totally agree with @glowrak guy, I think I could not have said it better. I think if you are interested and someone here has some connections, you should try to get signed to a label. Not necessarily for commercial reasons, more because I think your music deserves to be heard outside of this forum, regardless of the fact that it's made on Linux!

No surprise @Rainmak3r liked this because I think it has some points of contact with his music!

Very nice piece, @jeanette_c, one of the best I've heard from you although I'm not into solo piano music.
Personally I liked the first part more. It reminded me of some King Crimson's passages no matter how weird it may sound. Seems that I can even hear it in polyphonic, with guitars, bass, drums, flutes and everything like that. Not reaching its climax, all this jazz madness passes into the second part - simpler and lighter. And although my polyphonic vision collapses here, I still think that everything is done in style.
Thanks for it!
Sorry if I distracted you with such a nonsense.
