WIP in D Minor - old keyboard rough take WIP in D Minor - old keyboard rough take
Could use expansion. A real piano will help, or it can remain a short little piece - I don't know. I mostly just uploaded this to prove I'm still alive.

Beach Beach
This is the CD version (Steinway version) (except with compressed audio, just like every track on this page).

Reminiscence Reminiscence
The right side clips a few times on the loud part prior to the arpeggio section, oh well. Otherwise a nice recording.

Improv 2-15-05 Improv 2-15-05
I sat down at the piano and just played for about 21 minutes.. a lot of this seems heavily influenced by 'Build 5' from The Sims (music by Jerry Martin). This is 64kbps because of the size limit.

Distant Bells Distant Bells
Very mellow, another piece with imagery. Think of a quiet historic place, morning light coming through stained-glass windows, church bells in the distance..

Ardent Haze Ardent Haze
This is one of my weirder ones, and it's in one of my favorite time signatures (5/4).


Lullaby Lullaby
A really mellow piece; seems kind of influenced by Erik Satie's Gymnopedies for piano and Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. A slow 3/4 meter in 5-measure long phrases.

Midnight Cyclone Midnight Cyclone
Think imagery.. You're out at sea, sleeping in a hammock below deck in the middle of the night and a cyclone hits you.. at ~2:00 the wind carries your boat violently into the air and back down, at 2:18, you get to the eye of the storm.

Story Story
This is probably the ~500 millionth piece of music titled Story so far in history. This recording of it is unfortunately a mono recording also.

Untitled Improv Untitled Improv
just something i improvised, about 12 minutes long. it's improv so don't expect a masterpiece, it has its moments. (old early '00s?) mono recording.

Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu
Blah, so many missed notes, I'm getting rusty at this piece. (i have no idea what caused that loud pop at 3:16... O_O)

Super Mario World - one of the level themes Super Mario World - one of the level themes
piano cover of one of the themes from Super Mario World... mono recording

X Japan - Crucify my Love (piano cover) X Japan - Crucify my Love (piano cover)
updated, stereo recording w/out rain or overcompression like the one that was here before

Malice Mizer - Regret (piano cover) Malice Mizer - Regret (piano cover)
Gackt's piano solo 'Regret' from Malice Mizer, cover by Michael Martel. This is very, very, old.. well, all of this is old, or at least will be old later.
