Night Fall

Here is a new song, Night Fall. You will notice it's very ambient. I'm currently writing a bunch of different songs and some of them will go into my final CD of laid back ambient music. This is one of the contenders, but who know it could get cut :) Keeping with the norm I wrote all portions...

The Holocaust

Time for a new song. This is a laid back sad feeling composition, hence the name The Holocaust, containing piano, violin, flute, and a dark pad. I composed all the parts and played them into Cubase 4. [mp3]http://www.playingkeys.com/music/holocaust.mp3[/mp3]

True Pianos

Piano Recital Complete

On Saturday, 5/12/2007, I had my first piano recital since my younger years. Recently I started taking piano lessons. I took lessons when I was younger, but like most kids the social aspects of your life tend to take precedence and the first thing to go is usually things like piano lessons. It wasn't...
