Title: Silent Night - Me on the piano
Post by VernJensen on 26.12.2010 at 13:50:16
For anyone interested in a small glimpse into my personal life, I've finally recorded something of me on the piano.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFKhkgZv3ko

I came up with this arrangement in about 2 hours last Monday, and recorded it in another 2 hours or so Christmas Eve. It still has parts I'm not happy with, but it's not bad, given the amount of time spent coming up with the arrangement and practicing.

I like to mess around on the piano, improvising (mostly on hymns), but so far haven't taken the time to turn anything into a coherent arrangement. Just fun ideas here and there. So this is my first arrangement I guess you could say. Perhaps there will be more in the future.

I've decided to invest in some entry-level audio recording equipment so I can get better sound quality next time.

Wow, Vern, that is beautiful! I think you do a lot more than just "mess around" on the piano, you're very talented. Thanks for sharing that.

Merry Christmas!

Vern !  That was wonderful, and quite amazing actually, to hear all the beautiful backgrounds with the traditional piece.  You are very talented.

Thank you for this awesome Christmas Gift ! [smiley=engel017.gif]

Hey guys,
Vern asked me awhile back to put something I play up. So, recently I also took the initiative to record myself playing piano. Such a great instrument. Here it is:

This is me playing one of my favourite piano compositions. Hope you enjoy it. :)

Ahhh, you finally learned it. Congrats!

While on there, I found your Blork vs. Xork. It was an entertaining watch. :-)

Haha, I made that when I was 9 or 10, a very long time ago.

I usually have more hair, I recently shaved it off for a drama production. :P

I realize this is a post from 2010, haha, but whatever, I just now found it for some reason. This is really awesome, Vern. Totally brought me to Christmas in the middle of June. In Vegas!
