Reminds me of some of the Chick Corea I used to listen to... .... though that could easily be because Chick often used electric pianos in some fashion (often a Rhodes). Anyway, very nice playing Rik. Its interesting and lyrical and the improvised lines arn't dissconected from each other (share some rhythmical or melodical patterns). Theres a couple of slip ups with phrasing or timing that I can hear, but they're pretty minor. The strings add a nice change in timbre to the music and help bring out the sense of a beginning, a middle and an end (which I might mention was nice how kept the bass constant and changed your chords over it). To a certain extent, I would have liked to have heard a little more variation in the chord progression/structure... but the piece still worked quite nicely being contemplative, relaxing and easy to listen to. My only complaint is a minor one with the reverb. The high attack sound of some notes can be clearly heard in the reverb and sounds un-natural (unless you are playing in an empty room with hard walls). I'm not always sure how to deal with this (as I've only just started picking up on it), but a little more high end roll off (lowpass filter) on the reverb can cut that out a fair bit. Nice work again Rik and I still want to know when the next installment of DuoAzzoni is comming. Check out my latest song called Blood Is Boiling (By Faeble)

Reminds me of some of the Chick Corea I used to listen to... So, that was the point with the reverb! I was also quite annoyed with that unnatural effect, I tried to reduce it by reducing the reflection parameter of the plugin (with little or no effect), but did not consider the lowpass slide... I think you're absolutely right: by lowering the lowpass threshold down to 1800 Hz this effect reduced consistently (here the important frequency was around 1900-2000), but finally I brought it to 1200 Hz (!). I found also that the reflectivity parameter was not important in determining the unwanted alias so I increased it to compensate the consistent lowpass, and I added a mild chorus plugin with no (0 Hz) rotor. You can hear here the result. Thank you Bryan, your comments, as always, are good as gold. About Duo Azzoni, well, we have one or two more pieces from the last session which could deserve a release here on MJ, and we're about to schedule a new session. Thank you again.

Cheap new-age effect? Nah...it's not cheap new-age! But maybe it needs some ambient voices?? (Ok, I'm kidding) When I saw the genre 'Jazz,' I was expecting something with more motion and pep. But I quite like this. Your improvisations are so very impressive, Rik (they are...yes, they are! ;) And your songs always lead me from one musical idea to the next quite happily. This lovely journey is no different. Thanks for this one! Check out my latest song called the snowflake dances

strings love it when the strings come in. you could add a bit more reverb on them to blend them a bit more into the back, they seem to cut off "accoustically" compared to the rhodes. Lovely playing and a very beautiful piece. peace. Check out my latest song called DubComplexion

Smooth and very good playing. I'm glad the strings were so subtle.
I think I enjoy listening to improvisiations because it's a way of
discovering melodies that were not intended.
