The Promise

Hi All,
This is a bit of an experiment - I've bought a matched pair of Rode NT5 mics and had a go at recording my old Challen upright piano. I'd be really interested to have any feedback on this - I used a simple stereo configuration.
It's pouring with rain outside so I called the piece Rainy Days.
I hope you enjoy this :)

Rainy Days

Hi all. I've been experimenting with felt on my Yamaha upright piano.  Recorded at home in preparation for my new live piano album to be released in the New Year.  I hope you like this track!

Recorded at home with a felted Yamaha upright piano using a pair of Rode NT5 microphones to capture the soft, ethereal, enchanting, beautiful sound that transports the listener to a world of tranquility and introspection, resulting in a mesmerising blend of relaxation and emotional depth.  Some may describe this music as sad, melancholy piano music, but I like to think it as uplifting and potentially spiritual.

Hope (felt piano version)

Contemplation (piano Solo)

Hi all,
I've been experimenting again!  I've tried to soften up my old Challen piano using various materials.  For this track I've used additional felt on the hammers to create a delicate sound.  Please let me know what you think :)

Desire (from my debut album "Heart Strings")

Here is another track from my recent reel-to-reel recording session.  I'm really pleased with the sound quality of the tape recording.  I hope you like it :)

I used a Yamaha U1 upright piano with two Rode NT5 mics recorded directly onto a Revox B77 reel-to-reel tape recorder. 

Desire (taped version)

Hi all,

Just for fun I thought I'd upload an instrumental version of this track.  You can hear the original here... https://soundcloud.com/edhaydon/one-of-the-stars-ft-izi-thomas

I recorded my Yamaha piano onto tape using two Rode NT5 mics and a Revox B77 tape recorder.  The strings are a combination of Native Instruments and Spitfire Albion.

Please feel free to download this track - and like/repost at the same time! The download is CD quality (44.1kHz/16bit). Thanks :)

I'd also be happy if anyone wanted to have a go at creating their own version of this track by adding their own vocals and/or instruments.  Lyrics are available if you follow the above link.

I hope you like this version.

One Of The Stars (instrumental) - free to download

Hi all - I produced this piece for the latest Piano Cloud challenge, which was to create a piano piece using an odd time signature.  I chose 5/4 timing.  It started out as a gentle piano arpeggio, but as I continued to work on the piece searching for ideas, it morphed in quite an unexpected direction towards a large orchestral ensemble.  I hope you enjoy this piece :)

Bleeding Heart (from my debut album "Heart Strings")

Hi all - this started out as a piano solo, but I thought I'd add some choir and then some strings.  It became a bit more operatic than I was anticipating!  I hope you like it ;)
