Winter Calm

Testing out some recording gear and mic positions.  Pair of large diaphragm, plus a pair of small diaphragm mics.

Interesting coming from you, shows your versatility. At the beginning I thought I was hearing one of the new age lot but a few chords and phrases later on give you away. Nice piano sound, beautifully recorded. The ambiance where I live is more akin to summer panic at present so this is a welcome respite.

Thanks for listening, Ted.

I was aiming for a string of pivot modulations and there was a point where I thought the piece needed something different harmonically.  As for the recording gear, I want to allow a bit of time first to evaluate before giving a more thorough report.  That said, I am generally pleased with the results so far.

Aha, 'pivot modulations'! (Goes off to read Wikipedia...)

Lovely stuff, gripping surprises in the melody and the ending is beautiful, fittingly calm. I particularly like the sequence of jazzy sounding chords about 4 minutes in.
