Call of the Night

[goldentone]

Here is something different from the style of my previous improvs.  The night calls. . .  
Enjoy.

Yamaha M302 with the Edirol R-09 HR.

It is very calm and atmospheric, almost in the sense of Respighi. (If you've ever heard any of his frozen, tranquil soundscapes with open chords and sparse textures - some of the songs fit the bill -than you may know what I mean.) But it is good for the night, and another long, late night it is. I like your piece. You should post more.

Thank you, Furtwaengler.   I'm glad you like it.  I'll have to check Respighi out.  It's been awhile since I posted an improv.  I've been wanting to wait until I reach another level, but I sat down to experiment the other night, and this came out.  I've been thoroughly enjoying your improvs.  I would like to produce some in the lengths you have.

Hi goldentone,

This is a very good improv in my opinion, having listened to it twice.  The piece seems to have a restless searching quality, also with some moments of dark intrigue.  There even seem to be touches of exotica too.  Some of the chord changes in the accompaniment are quite colorful adding harmonic flair and interest in their own right.  I thoroughly enjoyed listening!

Nice job!

Hi Rachfan,

Thank you for your comments!  I'm glad you enjoyed it.   Having people really enjoy one's music makes it all the worthwhile.

[goldentone]

Finally I can listen to this

Yes it's certainly different from your previous improvs, and that's interesting, I think you are developing your own style, you're on the way to being able to "say" something that only you are able to say

Hi Wolfi,

Thank you for your comments.   The possibility of creating anything I want excites me tremendously.  I guess we'll see what comes next.

Atmospheric with some great harmonys. It’s a very interesting piece. Good work

I'm really enjoying this as I write this. I'm a sucker for dark atmosphere and you really capture that here. I love some of the very dark, tolling sections. Gives me similar feelings to Ravel's gaspard de la nuit, le gibet. Is that a baby grand out of curiosity? It sounds a lot like a piano I recorded on in early 2005, at a corporate sponsors' reception at college. It was maybe 5'2". It sounded very similar to this piano. It was a Young Chang I believe.

Thanks, Chopinatic.

I'm glad you liked "Call", Derek.  And I like the tolling description.  It's nice to hear that my piano came off as possibly a baby grand, but it's an upright, a Yamaha M302.  I'm ready to record a new improv, for it's been since summer.  Thanks for listening.
