[solo piano] Kiev Decays to Dust (mp3, online play) for CAP

[uncloned]

I had not touched my keyboard for a long time - couple months? So it was inspiring to play it again. I set it up in the living room of the new house and played pianoteq on my laptop. Actually I had to improvise the piece twice since I screwed up saving from pianoteq standalone and had to fire up Sonar 8.5 to capture the performance. Then I edited the performance to what you hear. About 20% of the notes were messed with - the rest is the original improvisation.

The title comes from the Collaborative Ambient Project for which I wrote this piece and is sponsored by a Russian associate Luigi Verona. I'll bet this is the only solo piano piece he's received so it will be interesting to see if its accepted.

Of course it is accepted!
Really good stuff. I am curious as to how we will tie it in together, but I think that it will add a very special touch to the whole composition.

I will update CAP page shortly!

Kiev looks to be a beautiful city btw.

A great piece. Usually I don't like improvisations and pianos, but there are some exclusions, yours is one of them. Should I call it ambient? For me it really feels like one.
Anyway, I'd like to thank you, clones, for creating these "exclusions" every now and then

Hi
Nahkranoth

My intent was to write / improvise an ambient piece on piano - so I am pleased you say it as such!
