Deep stufffffffffff
I could hear this in a thriller type of film. Is that you on piano? It's very cool.

Like it much.

.
yup, me on piano. i improvised it, then edited out mistakes, then added the backing instrumentation. no loops anywhere here.

thanks!

lavalamp said 253 days ago

You're the man
And I am speechless... Very nice my friend D-loaded ;)

SmokeyVW said 253 days ago
.
thank you sir

bud said 253 days ago
Congratulations on your retirement
If this is any indication - you'll be just fine - I know you were concerned. Great first post as a free man. I love the improv and edit approach - I often do the same thing on guitar - but I really wish I could play piano anywhere near this good. Cool piece.

SmokeyVW said 253 days ago
.
this is another one of those "let it flow" sort of efforts - knowing you can go back and correct the errors later makes the improvising even freer. i've used this approach before - it really works for me if i'm in the right state of mind.

thanks

Fantastic atmosphere
Love the doubling on strings and piano - and the grainy basso. Suggestive of some of Scriabin's work - which is a marvelous thing. I faved it! Hope you get a chance to hear and comment on some of my compositions. Cheers!

SmokeyVW said 253 days ago
.
I like Scriabin. I wonder if I accidentally played that Mystic chord of his somewhere in here?

thanks!

MarkHolbrook said 252 days ago

Thank a lot Bill!
Now I'll have to go back to sleeping with a night-lite! SPOOKY!

Wonderful piano improve man. Simply wonderful!

Brilliant concept too (pun INtended! Ha ha...)

Be well friend!

SmokeyVW said 247 days ago
.
it wasn't meant to be spooky - but i suppose maybe the vastness of space is kinds scary. maybe that's it?

thanks!

davisamerica said 252 days ago
right then
no loops were harmed and the VW on piano ... really love this one ... ambience plus .. very cool track

SmokeyVW said 247 days ago
.
i love loops - as you know - but there's lots of other ways to make music - i hope to begin exploring more ways soon

thanks

Cosmic Flow
Nicely done, Bill. This is moody and melodic, with a very nice feel.

Thanks for this tasteful trip to the stars. ;)

space holds a special fascination for me.

thanks

oh my....
I need my blankey!! Turn the light back on NOW. This is incredible. It meets or beats every scarey movie I have ever watched. A lot of psycho memories and just scarey thrillers running wild. You did a great job pulling this off. Very creative. Great job keeping me up my friend. :) Forget the stars...this has "full moon" written all over it

SmokeyVW said 247 days ago
.
i wasn't trying to make this scary (as Micheal also said) - it was meant to be out there in the universe (and some other metaphoric stuff). but it's completely OK if that's what you got from it - as long as it brought about a reaction!

thank you

futzpucker said 248 days ago
Remarkable
Smoke, this is amazing. Your piano skills are formidable, and your expression in this piece is compelling. I love what you did with the strings. You've created a very unique, dynamic atmosphere throughout.

Congratulations on this accomplishment. A complete success.

SmokeyVW said 247 days ago
.
thank you very much. this was very intuitively driven, then back-filled with some supporting material. i glad you enjoyed this so much.

chipan said 248 days ago
spacey
Wow, this is amazing! You really created a wonderful universe of sound. I like it a lot!
