Once again !!! This is beautiful DAve !! I really have the feeling that i keep repeating mayself ahah ^^ but i can't help it :)

Great feeling and great natural timing, Dave.

(It's bad, but it's no longer possible for me to load your entire sc-page, it's only your page that doesn't work. The explorer will crash imediately when I try to do so. I can only do it by search a specific track if I know its name. Hope this will be adressed soon.)


I first heard it on Say's SC page...

...great colab. 
Three o'clock in the morning. It's you sitting in a smoky bar at a little round table somewhere in a dark corner. In the left hand you've got a cigarette. You're eyes are staring at the glass of whisky that is standing on the table in front of you. You've wrapped it with your right hand. Prepared to lift it up to take the next sip. You're alone with youre thoughts. Even the barkeeper has left the dive bar half an hour ago. The beautiful sound of the piano enchant your thoughts (your lyrics take place, dreamful wishes). 

Even the pianoplayer didn't realize that he's not alone. He likes to play as long as his fingers would do the job. The only thing waiting for him, is an empty room out there somewhere. He can't stand to go there... Outside the bar one already can hear the garbage men doing their job. Soon the sun will rise... A new day...


@greg-hentze: many thanks Greg...really touched by the response

Really well done Dave.  I get the sense of a somke filled room and a solitary piano man just trying to make a buck.  Something about this track with your piano melody added brings a new and subdued character to it.  Very jazzy, very hip.

I joined the Piano Cloud this week and thought perhaps I should make a piano track to celebrate. But the rest of you should keep the cork in that bottle: my piano skills being pretty limited you will very quickly understand why I haven't made one before. That should explain the title!

The chord track was a one run improvisation and then I improvised a melody line over the top...though it took a few attempts to line up this second track to the first. For the techies, the sound is the NNXT default grand piano patch in Reason, and I play on a semi-weighted M-Audio Keystation 88.

Don't Give up the Day Job! Dave McKeown

I am a working full-time musician, teaching, performing, composing, recording and arranging, and my gigs in the last few years have included jazz combo, big band jazz, folk, Irish traditional, rock, soul, latin, klezmer, funk, orchestral, chamber, minimal techno, musical theatre and more, so, safe to say, I’ll have a go at anything. 

I'm a firm believer in demolishing boundaries between genres, cultures, languages and ultimately people, and Soundcloud is a terrific place where all this can happen.
