Improvisation on 'Fly me to the moon" - Phillip21
on: January 16, 2006, 03:07:04 PM
Here is a piano improvisation on 'Fly me to the moon' in a reasonably modernist contemporary classical style.  It was recorded by line from my electric piano (my acoustic one awaits the tuner) to a minidisc and thence converted to MP3 using the Freecorder program.  Any comments on content or recording welcome.

I liked it.  Very atmospheric take on one of my favorite tunes.

i like the explosion of the really full harmonic chords when they happen.  'atmospheric' is a cool term for this music.  you're a thoughtful composer.

Umm......
It really has a great different with the original melody. I think I will feel better if I have never listen to the original one.

Anyway, the 'atmospheric' chords and tunes are really amazing=]
Thanks for sharing :)
