Another one - slightly prepared piano
on: August 22, 2011, 03:42:08 AM
-Headphones; check
-Pop can tab; check
-Book with Ravel G major concerto; check
-Extreme boredom from over practicing at night; check
Covered the bottom range with the book, put the tab around one of the strings, and stuck the headphones between two other ones (no pianos were harmed)
It was originally in an E tonal center (no specific key I guess), but I sped it up a third (At least I'm admitting it! It sounds happier, and there's no fuzz in the background
)
So there's this twangy sound in the middle, a kind of snare drum-ish sound below, and a few tingy notes. (this was at about 1:30 AM on campus, and I felt I had practiced long enough)

Jarrett sometimes plays rhythmic, spritely cells like this. Yours is particularly enjoyable. I like the buzzy sound in the bassline.

Haha that's very good! I like the different sounds, especially the oriental-sounding dulcimer-like ones! Love the lively rhythmic touch, too!
