I think you need to give yourself more credit mate! You're an artist, you can draw inspiration from anything! :thumbup:

This is one of my favorite videos. it starts off piano and shifts to electronic but it's really two songs.


Four Tet piano remixes



Deaf Center White Lake remix

been putting more focus into learning la campanella now, learned a few new bars just gotta get quicker, gonna try to see if i can learn it as quick as possible, ive seen people on youtube claim to learn it in 3 months but didnt play it amazingly but still thats encouraging on an estimate on how long it might take me with more focus put in.

so im at about 3 pages so far out of a possible 12-14 i have to count it. Lol. but a lot of those are just long runs of scale type shit.
will report back :smile:

Piano player here.
Taught myself back in highschool.
Then I took an introductory class in college.
I'm thinking of taking a level II class to force myself to get better.

The house I recently moved into has a nice hall piano.
I've been playing a lot more recently as a result.

It's reminded me that real pianos are so much more satisfying than electric imitations.
The weight of the keys, the resonance of harmonies.
It makes it a very meditative practice.

I've composed one piece for the piano that is intended to sound 'classical'.
A friend overheard me playing the piece and asked me what composer that was.
Couldn't help but smile from the unintended compliment.

ayy thats awesome, :cheers:

I would only ever want to compose virtuoso pieces so i'll definitely need a large body of material to work with to be able to do that.

so i just have to learn as much of the high level stuff as i can, i suspect after doing that i'll have a better idea about what id want to make.

ive been spending a massive amount of time on la Campanella lately but jesus i made progress :awesomenod:, although ive been spending more time on it at the moment than my art; which im now going to switch back to my main focus for a bit, its great that i got this much better at playing it, was playing for 3-5 hours a day this week

With a lot of time spent just playing it again and again and again x billion i can add a few more bars and just keep doing that,
ive been playing it so much i figured out how to relax my hand while doing the jumps and my hand literally moves like a whip hitting every jump accurate as fuck and ridiculously fast, and i am SUPER happy with my trills :shocked:. the more relaxed you can get your hand the faster you can move it, i have it at the point where it feels like a rag-doll when i move it. Its odd though, it seems theres a threshold speed that once you surpass it, it almost sounds satanic in how it opens up a more complex range of dynamics that you cant get at slower speeds.

  The accuracy came from just trying to hit the notes properly at a crazy fast speed and it just calibrated to the point where i dont need to think about it and the proper note gets hit, wicked. Although i dont think i could do this if i was nervous at all so preforming it in public is a different story.

im still only on around page 4 out of 15 but what i do know i can play pretty much at a solid professional level with clarity and no mistakes. I wont be happy until i can play all of it near valentina lisitsas level so dont worry nothing is gonna be half assed.

Once i finish it fully and can play it at a quality level im proud of i'll put it on shroomery and maybe i could get some critiquing.

Okay i decided to record a sample of what i know so for, but damn i gotta say, playing for practice and trying to record it are too VERY different things.
even the hint of pressure to perform causes my fingers to move out of calibration, so i have trouble hitting the high jumps when im trying to record myself doing it, but once i turn the camera off i can do it with ease. Its like fucking double slit nonesense lol, so frustrating.

I have no idea how people perform this at professional speed and not mess up, any hint of nervousness and you are pretty much fucked because how fast you have to move makes it almost look like you have parkinsons disease :lol:

but i tried my best to record a reasonably accurate run to show you where im at, but alas i still play it much better, accurately and smoothly when i have zero pressure on me to make sure its perfect.
but obviously it starts off decent and gets progressively shittier as I get near the end, obviously cuz my fingers have practiced the first parts longer, but just try to imagine what it will be like when every bar is played at the same quality, once my fingers get more accustom to the new movements.

its nice though the next parts are just variations of a similar pattern in the right hand only getting slightly more complex, but i have been practicing the right hand for these parts and i find no trouble with it so i cant wait til i get past those part.

Anyways heres the sample

Im still trying to desect valentina lisitias smoothness, it is really hard to produces such a smooth run at such high speeds, but playing over and over gets me slightly smoother each day.
unfortunately my smoothness goes slightly down when i try to perform/record it because of nerves.

fuck man that is fast! I don't think it's too hard for you. Pity pianos don't have a line out hey? Would be good to listen to without hearing the 'click' of the keys (when you're playing up that high that fast I don't think you can help it)!

thnx guys! Yeah the click is annoying, and having the phone up to the piano that close just makes the sound so shitty quality. plus the piano is an old yamaha electronic. Really wish i had a grand P :yesnod: one day

can you record it that way maybe? Get a headphone-headphone and use line in/mic on your PC record through audacity? Maybe you wont be so nervous if we can't see you too lol?
