.. amused!

i admit that i dont know your music really well, but this one here surprises me .. that´s a serious piece of music, and it has a deep mood to it.

and even though it has some wildness to it, it all is clear to understand for me .. its no chaos, it has its order. wow.

Thanks Putte, that means a lot to me. I've only just started getting the confidence to share some of my "noises" and up till recently I also didn't have a webspace to put them on so this is just my third public piece. I'm glad there are folks here that like it, gives me more confidence.

Hey aMUSEd?

you listen to Don Pullen, Myra Melford, Muhal Richard Abrams or Cecil Taylor at all?

They have some great bodies of work that are like this.

Very tasty stuff.

Awesome track

To be honest I haven't heard of most of those

apart from Cecil Taylor (I think) and not heard anything. It seems I'll need to listen to some more stuff - I have a very wide range of tastes including jazz and classical (and excluding very little) but I'm no "officionado"

Cheers.

Hang on - I think I know where I heard of Cecil Taylor from - did he work with Archie Shepp at one point? I like Archie Shepp a lot (esp Blase and stuff from that period) so maybe I have heard a thing or two.

yeah, I'm sure they crossed paths at some point, Shepp was a huge influence on my tone in college

PM me if you're interested in hearing some stuff

Like you said in the original thread;

There is nothing wrong with making errors, it often leads to new directions.

Great play again as it gave the feeling of being in a bar nearby the piano player. Loved the dynamics

Bernard Peiffer was a local jazz pianist in Philadelphia.
Originally lived in France.
Died a number of yrs ago.

To support what I said about you,he,and disonance...and for curiousity sake,here is an old radio to cassette recording of 2 original Peiffer pieces.

It was a strange coincidence that I had my recording of "Terry Riley" on that same cassette side with Peiffer!!

Don`t know if he ever recorded he original compositions...

I've had a listen now. Very lovely - I like the blurring of boundaries between Jazz and almost Debussey like tones - I like to do that and I can see similarities in places though his playing is a million times better than mine (I've only recently switched to keyboards from Guitar) and stays largely within normal tonal ranges whearas I'm pretty much ignoring keys and normal tonality and just playing as I feel - which is why I wished for more inbetweeen notes to increase the range of expression available.

Thanks for opening me up to someone new.

Although ive only heard just a few pieces of Pieffer`s,i`m sorry I never had the operatunity to see him play live,since he lived and played in my town.

While searching for his recording titles ,ran across an interview which he said he was heavily influenced by Mahler.

So if your new to the keys,I`d recommend sticking to the 12 tone tempered scale for some time.Microtunings will just spread out the intonations of that scale,(not necessaraly in a linear way),for ex:24 tones per octave!Get the 12 going well first!

As far as different scales within the 12 tones per octave...some vsti`s give you variations.
You may have one or more and not know it!
