Silent Night - Me on the piano
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.

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.

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. Tongue

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!
