I liked playing with Pripyat Pianos so much today that I did a second track...a little bit of jazz using a piano in the space of the top floor of a ruined hotel in Pripyat.

Tricky one today as I lent out the dongle that lets me plug in all my music peripherals so I had to make this music using my laptop keyboard...still it helps to learn some new tips and tricks, and I felt like the result had a bit of a feeling of someone uncovering a mystery so I made this picture of someone peeling back layers of colour to 'uncover' something.

I'm starting to integrae the rest of SOTSOG from Logic to Cubase and...it's going pretty slowly. I've got all the parts across but need to set up the instruments again while fixing some elements that got borked in the process and it'll all need a bunch of mixing. Maybe even I'll rewrite some parts once I've got the rest in.

Today's Noisevember prompt is 'Purple'...so I've used instruments with a purple interface ;)

A Friend Afar - Everyday834

Today I decided to go back and add a little more interest to the arrangement as an additional exercise. I think the biggest win was adding a bit of melody to the bass...it plays nicely with that top melody, but also extending the octaves between the celli and bass as the piece progresses adds a bit more drama, and then just a bit of tweaking of the middle parts to avoid some parallel lines brings a bit of richness to the harmony.
