Ok, so I am lucky enough to have more creative projects on my plate than I really have time to dedicate to them... and sadly WB is kinda the first thing to dial back to make space... so this week is more of a sketch than a fully produced track. In spare moments throughout the week I cobbled together a rough idea for a piece, and then today I scraped together an hour or so to track it and do a (very) rough mix. I'm not really sure where this one came from... like emotionally... it just kinda fell out of my hands, and I think it might be me pulling things back together after last weeks primal scream.
But at any rate, I still very much consider this a sketch and I would greatly appreciate any constructive feedback folks might have on really any portions of it (composition, performance, mix, etc). I do think I like the general piece, and will likely circle back to it so feedback would be super useful.
Well, with that I'm off to get back to my other projects... I hope life is going as well as it can for everyone reading this, and I'm looking forward to getting lost in all the amazing sounds you all have made over the last week.

There's not really a ton to say here, you know... solo piano. But, technically this is me continuing with the "year of hardware". Because it's pretty much just the Nord Grand 2. I used the Studio Grand 2 (medium), and then put it through a little delay, and the "stage" reverb on the Nord itself.
For the performance, I just hit record on my Tascam and did like 4 or 5 takes. What's uploaded is the one I didn't hate (not comped). Then I hit it with some basic channel strip EQ, compression, etc. The only interesting thing was I used the "shimmer" reverb preset in MTuroReverb, to add a little extra somethin' somethin', and then side-chained the main audio to a Neutron Unmasker on the reverb to duck it out of the way of the piano, and allow it to fill up the quieter spaces a little...
But other than that, it's just kinda me sitting at my piano playing a noodle that's been stuck in my head all week... so... again feedback would be appreciated.
