New Age/Soundscape Track
Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2009 1:39 am
This is my first song I've ever really composed, and it took me awhile to get down. I've always enjoyed electronica music, but as of late I started delving into new-age and soundscape productions.
So, I went out on a limb and have done something I've never really done before and created this piece as a Christmas present for someone.
I have absolutely no musical training at all, and what I've learned is from trial-and-error, mostly. I've picked up a few pieces of material in regards to music production with electronic musicians in mind, and I'm learning a lot from it (have been at it for a few months now, but never really produced anything worthwhile).
Anyway.
It's a free-improvisational piece, and I have no background in piano performances. I sat down, cracked my fingers, and started to play away on the keyboard for about ~10 minutes. Thank god for live, as I was able to go in and chop up certain parts that I did and did not like in the piano melody - but overall I feel that the song has an amateur polish to it, and I would like to improve on it.
I wanted something elegant, yet simple - but I think this is a bit too simple, and I feel that I went up and down a few octaves more than I should with a linear approach.
Any input is appreciated! Here's the link:

I didn't program any sounds other than a few minute adjustments here and there.
May it put you to sleep.

I'm glad you were able to enjoy it.
