Hey Alex....twilight zone,man this is very cool material...very reminiscent of a free form oscillating instrument in Native Instruments Reaktor5 (Metaphysical Function)but so much better because your playing it in real time,every time I listen to your music I feel some presence of Joe Zawinul,not in his corporeal form but more in his method,you use the synthesizer as a vehicle for space travel...next time you do something similar(if you have the inclination that is)send me the track and I'll put some acoustic bass on it if that's agreeable with you.....Invariably keyboard players always turn out to be the best composers and your no exception,it's like you have the universe in your hands....superb work! cheers Dave
thank you so much for listening to my music and all kind words! I was thinking a lot of creating something new and sending you some materials but still I will probably need more time with all this. I am busy (and struggling) with real life currently (I will try to explain it more precisely soon) and there is only a little space/energy for practising keyboard playing that is available. Opening the daw and fooling around there is always much easier than serious practising, needless to say. Over last weeks I was working on the transcription of one Keith Jarrett's piano piece from the 'Koln Concert' and want to record it on my old upright piano. This is very ambitious project haha.
Now, right at this moment it is a rainy Sunday early morning of very hot summer and I have some free time for working out the piano today, maybe I will message you at the end of a day when something interesting will come up!
Also soon or later I will make my version of the 'Pelican Feet' project but I need more time to get into funk playing. That's the challenge.
Thanks again for pointing Joe Zawinul! I discovered some of his older recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xufea3dGCjo and this is an excellent stuff to learn from. I really want to develop some stylistic bebop elements and acquire more licks. Bebop is always the basic and probably most important foundation. I will try to work transcribing and internalizing some of the patterns from that video sometime.
'Hot Coffe' was played on Roland JunoDi - I was inspired and finnaly bought better hardware synthesizer. Maybe I will be getting even more of the professional hardware equipment in the near future. I will write you if so! There are some classic synth sounds but also fine electric pianos presets there. I am happy because I do not need plugins to create. I manipulated a lot simply with cutoff and resonance knobs when playing but I can't open the external editor software to check out the actual internal settings. The reso knob was probably assigned to change some other parameters of the sound which make that preset quite complex and interesting when performed.
Thank you again for the nice words. I really appreciate that. I do not know if I really deserve the comparision with such amazing players but anyway I will try to work more intense and keep up with! Thank you for a great inspiration!
Another tasty jam on the keys you've done here! Your playing always brings a smile to my face, and ears if that makes sense. I didn't pay as much attention as I should have, as I'm way over-heated right now. Great tone on the keys, and the rhythm worked great. I'm gathering a few short ideas to send you for things we could develop together, and I will try to send the message soon. Great song!
thank you for the reply and for listening to this one and commenting!
I am really happy you liked this little inprovisation. No bebop stuff and jazz lines but my own way of playing haha. I must say I make piano quite different nowadays recording everything directly from Casio digital piano or Roland synth (it has nice 'tones for Rhodes') This one was recorded using MrRay plugin but at a time there was also an annoying midi latency issue going on that pissed me off a lot. Now I am free - no plugins for keys! haha
As for our conversation: please give me some more time to respond first to your last one, ok? It is too much and I have a feeling that I might ignore some important points.
I think if you simply send me some 'beats' or basslines or anything that has a 'groove' in it I could try to improvise along on the keys. That would be a great start.
Super amazingly cool piece you've done here! Especially good since you played the synth part live, which is not always easy. As far as instrumental fusion goes, this sort of thing always gets me (in a good way). It is a good one to listen to today, as I just finished my regular struggle with my newest espresso machine... half the time, the steam comes out from around the bin for the ground instead of making a decent double. Frustrating to say the least. I am always more stressed when my coffee doesn't turn out right. Anyway, the synth work, and the drums are both tasty. This has just the right balance of chillness and tension. Great mild processing as well. Total fave!
Thank you so much! I really enjoyed reading your reply to my 'spiritual' comment on your track.
I whish I would post much more informative stuff on other's lm music sometime instead of giving apparently 'provocative' usual every-day comments. I am struggling with my body limitations a lot almost all the time now- the brain/mind is not really a big problem: noticing thoughts and observing them falling into space for a few seconds is enough.
I can see the similarities with your coffee machine operations haha because I am struggling with all my hardware synths as well in the same manner haha. Roland Juno Di has some really cool software sound editor but I can't use it on Windows7 for some reason. So just presets so far.
There's a lot of green and plants around here - how are the plants you mentioned earlier grow btw? I have only 3 plants of that sort this year to take care of (not sure we talk of the same plants haha). Just an experimental trial cultivation of mine this year hahaha.
Thank you a lot for the fave! So glad you enjoyed my work!
At some point of the future I will add male vocals to this one.
Hey this is pretty awesome and unique! Sorry, just needed something pretty short. I need to be quiet and calm currently...the walls have ears. I love the breakbeat rhythms here, and some awesome synth work is contained within. Good momentum. Your music is pretty much always a pleasure to hear, and when you're working with Cruce, it's just one more reason to listen! Big Fave!
cool. Thanks a lot! this is actually a 3rd version. I really like 2nd one which is very dark and very unlike-sounding from anything I have ever produced. Just a picture from my current work posted very quickly... Maybe I will post remastered verison of the 2nd one sometime.
Really nice man,
I can really feel the soul here.
it sounds really professional
Its really nice to have a song like this in the background,
while drinking beer with my friends or something.
neat guitar work! it can't be easy to put together a "live band" jam session like this sharing tracks online. It is a very convincing performance. well done!
A most excellent track, Alex! I love the clarity and musicianship you have created. Also great to see you've teamed up with one of our bandmates, Franco.
hey Burt! thanks for listening and nice words. I gave a backing track to ferryterry but it was a different backing then. once he recorded guitars I reworked all the rest completely.
This is a great great track and insta-favourite. The guitar is played soo nice and the supporting rythm and keyboard fits perfect. Grat collab. You should work together more often if you would ask me.
normal im weak when listen to a nice bass guitar. you got all for 58sec, but you should work more on mixed a full song it isnt eazy one of the main reason i dont do it.
hi. thanks for listening and your comment. I do not really understand what you mean by saying all that because it is already mixed and it is a full song. but thanks anyway!
Ferryterry's guitar awesomely soars through the synth, into the mix. As I listened, I pictured an old film-noir setting. Mysterious and chill. Great listen!
There has to be a limit to how many go in my favourites ... I've put so many in just today!
This one included.
I think I'm fussy but the quality of stuff some of you are turning out is incredible.
Great piece.
ferryterry has recorded great guitars to one of our current projects but I slightly modified the harmonic context behind his guitar lines afterwards so it sounds like a B phrygian mode used at parts. In fact there's only a electric piano playing the 'phrygian' notes.
Thank you again for your nice comments and the fav.

this is all an illusion. music is an illusion, sorry to say. live performed or digitalized it is only a thought (which is an illusion in itself).
again sorry for such a spiritual tone here. hope you do not mind anyway.
