I’m still alive! [t'was a triumph, great success...]

I recorded this about a month ago – sorry, no video. I only had a microphone on me, and I’m still trying to find a video camera for recording.

This improv turned out a bit more harmonious than I expected, so here you are. It’s primarily an experiment; there are “mistakes,” if you see misplaced harmonies and very intentional accidentals as such. When I improvise, I tend to imagine a scene, like for a film, then fit the music to the mood of the scene. Here I was imagining a storm, so hence the title.

Sorry, no sheet music.

Another improvisation, after listening endlessly to Final Fantasy songs. This one has slightly less oomph than the last one, but I still like it since it’s cleaner.

I finally decided to title my improvisations, starting with this one. “Quest for the Truth” somehow fit. I have no idea how to explain, it just fit.

After listening to the recording, I noticed that I brought back the melody from previous songs and the motif from Fire and Ice (a student film for which I composed the soundtrack). I really like how this one came out.

No sheet music.

This is my third (recorded) improv session, since it’s been a while since the last one. Once again, I’m not too happy with the outcome; too muddy in many regards, slurred chords, odd harmonics, but generally decent and good enough for youtube. I listened to Tim Burton and his wondrous music before (Nightmare Before Christmas), so that perhaps gave me some inspiration towards abstract notes and chords.

I was never really happy with how it sounded and I stored it away. Somehow it got lost on my computer. But! I found it, so here it is.

I don’t like the way that the entire song is basically just chords, either broken up or not. I need to work on better melodies, themes and motifs…

I recorded this in March- which means: my piano was still out of tune. All negative comments are to be blamed on the crappy microphone and the equally crappy camera.
