Piano Sketch #1 (disquiet0540) by Sonic Search published on 2022-05-05T23:44:37Z This is my submission to the weekly composition challenge Disquiet Junto #540. --- It's raining outside all day long and for this challenge I used images of ocean and rain as inspiration. I'm not a piano player by any means but this time I decided to record a piano piece, staying true to the original record. I listened to it a few times and sat down to improvise. It all started with a 4-bar loop in a lower register that I liked. I softened it a bit, looped it and started jamming along to come up with new parts: high staccato notes, arpeggiated phrases and a few improvised melodic lines. And then I arranged the material so that the parts fit together and there's a certain dynamics and that I liked. Finally I mixed in a layer of waves crushing on the shore to communicate the image I had in mind when working on this piece. --- --- More on this 540th weekly Disquiet Junto project – 5ive 4our (The Assignment: Take back 5/4 for Jedi time masters Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond) – at: https://disquiet.com/0540/ 1 More on the Disquiet Junto at: https://disquiet.com/junto/ Subscribe to project announcements here: https://tinyletter.com/disquiet-junto/ Project discussion takes place on llllllll.co: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0540-5ive-4our/ --- Genre Piano Instrumental Comment by Nate Trier lovely!
