Description:
Minimalism piano piece, for the lower register; a second slightly out-of-phase piano is hiding in there somewhere.

I really like this. I feel like it tells a sad story that
somehow is about to change for the better. Perfect for a
film score, just before a turn in the story. There's a point
in the latter first half where the audio kind of flickers a bit,
like... an analogue tape glitch, perhaps? It's a minor
technical note. It doesn't impair my ability to enjoy this
piece.

Thanks for the kind words, Peter. You have excellent ears--the 'glitch' is, I
think, an analogue tape crease. This piece was orginally recorded on a Fostex
4-track cassette recorder. I tried to remaster it and clean it up on the G5, but
could not eliminate that 'bump.' Glad it didn't bother you too much! And I'm
glad you find a redemptive quality in the sad tone of this 'broken' piece.

Like to hear this expanded from this minimalist state into
something more.
The haunting chord changes are incredibly effective.
Nicely played with an even tone. I hear the glitch but it is
really very slight.

backfiring hammer? I heard some double attacks.

Anyway, nice mellow piece.

I just heard this on the home page player. So glad this one came up in the rotation. I missed it the first go-round -- and what a shame. This is really a beautiful and pensive little piece. Has a very "Moonlight Sonata" feel. Almost too beautiful not to sit and ponder.
