Description:
Simple Piano song. Meant to do it as one take but didn't like the original ending so I fixed it up with GB repeating a middle section. Added the synth to give the tone a bit more depth without (hopefully) overwhelming the gentle simplicity of the tune.
Reflecting on some excellent comments...Decided the synth was a bit much and released the second version with cello and bass instead of the synth.
On further reflection I removed the bass and turned down the cello. Then I made some careful changes to the left hand piano part and the cello part to give the impression of more chords. And finally did some careful fine tuning of the dynamics.
Thanks to everyone who commented on the first two versions. I am slow to take things down but I will take them down in the next couple days. This is now my definitive version. If you can envision more changes, additions, deletions.... send me a note and I will forward the GB file for your editing enjoyment! Comments and suggestions of course are still very welcome.
Peace

perfect &mdash 06/23/08 - 07:37:11 PM
i haven't heard the other versions yet, but i can't see it getting much more perfect than this. great melody you came up with for the piano. and the cello part is the clincher. nice sounding cello sample, i like the quiet volume, and the note choices are excellent. well done! [ Reply to This ]

Thanks for the comments. Melody is just the same in all. Other notes are most carefully chosen here.

Thanks brother for sharing this... Peace, Love& Respect

Its okay if you missed the first two. Sometimes the suggestions I get match up with the time and energy to act :) Usually though, that doesn't work out even when there is much room for improvement. [ Reply to This ]

You did some tasteful choices of editing to get to this version! [ Reply to This ]

i'm really liking this one. some very pretty chord changes, and I love the slow feel with that grinding cello (i like the boldt cello a lot). great job. [ Reply to This ]
Michael &mdash 06/25/08 - 01:51:36 PM
Feter suggested a cello, I didn't have one at the time so I searched around for soundfonts and stumbled on this sample. Glad you liked it. [ Reply to This ]

Well, thanks for the interest. I do have 32 other tunes up on the site, but not many like this one and no plans for an "album". [ Reply to This ]

Put me really in a great fine mood. Great piano work and how I love that cello sound. It could use a classical guitar with a dark vocal to speech... I'm trying to get it to "Private Investigation"!! This is truly great.
Take Care

Classical guitar... are you volunteering? No pressure. I do appreciate that you took the time to listen to the last version. [ Reply to This ]

Less &mdash 06/30/08 - 05:23:55 PM
Less is more, and this piece has a sweetness to it, due to its simplicity and lack of excess ornamentation. Meditative and wistful, this is. Chord changes are pleasant and work well.
Best,
John

I like the sound of "meditative and wistful" :) Its good to hear you like the chord choices, the original was maybe too simple. [ Reply to This ]
It's baaaaack.... &mdash 07/01/08 - 01:47:51 PM
...and better than ever! I'd have been here sooner but I thought this was the same version that I already faved and commented on! Ha ha...Good thing I came back for another listen!
Beautiful. I like all the changes you made Bill. You EXCEL herein my friend!
Be well! [ Reply to This ]
Michael &mdash 07/01/08 - 05:30:35 PM
Back indeed. I saw your new comment and had to look up through the list, because I thought you'd already heard this one. Glad you like the changes, this is now one of those rare pieces that I like enough to leave alone. No more versions :) [ Reply to This ]
Nice and cool! &mdash 07/07/08 - 01:21:01 PM
I really liked this peaceful piece, Mr Pease! I am a sucker for deep chello and the piano is not bad at all. A very nice slightly melancholy melody. If I had to offer you some critique it would be that in a few places some of the notes sounds a bit "hard". They could possibly be softened a little by altering the velocity a bit, which should give the playing an even more natural or soulful character - if you understand what I mean. Maybe it's just me, but since I did notice it, I thought I might as well comment on it. Maybe for your future CD release..!
Thanks for sharing. It's an instant fav and download, of course!

Sharp ears. I know exactly what you mean. I did soften several of the notes, but not enough. I'll be sure to have you give it another listen before that CD release ;) And thanks for the careful listen! [ Reply to This ]

Nice job. Quite sad, though. But, that's the way it goes sometimes.
