Just written and recorded a piano concerto

[markgibson]

Hi everyone,

I've just finished writing and recording a three movement piano concerto. The whole project took about three months to complete, and I recorded all the instrument parts on my Roland HP207 Digital piano. This is the first major piece I've composed; I'm primarily an electric guitarist but I've taken a few years off to learn about piano playing and composition. Rachmaninoff was a major influence to my writing. I'm self-taught, and I know it isn't perfect, but hopefully some of you will like it. Please listen at

Very impressive! I just listened to the 1st movement so far, but I'm already humming the theme to myself. I appreciate how much effort you put into composing this, I will listen to the other two movements later.

Huge props to you! That's not nothing O.O
The piano part is very interesting! When you'll have this recorded by an orchestra it's going to be insane!! Congratulations!

I bet you could get an orchestra to play that easily, especially since you can play the piano part, so they won't have to work to find a soloist to learn it. I haven't listened to it all the way through yet, but it's great! Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the comments!
I'd love more than anything to have an orchestra perform this with me, from what I've been able to find out it can be quite costly and difficult to get to that stage. I'd have to score the parts properly too because they're all written in my strange personal short-hand haha

Brilliant! It sounds like a mix of early Scriabin and Debussy.
Much enjoyed it.Good job!
