This is an impressive improvisation, Simon!

I'm going through a faze of recording real acoustic piano releases & here is another in the series entitled, "Instinctive". Once again, I used 2 Nuemann U87 microphones, but added a AKG C414 as a room microphone in the studio, to capture the ambient sound in the recording space. This was also an improvisational track. I didn't know what I was going to perform until I hit record, ran into the rec space & started playing. Enjoy!

I started off learning piano at around 6 years old, but only realised my ear for music when I could pick out melodies I heard on the radio & from then on I started writing my own music & playing long into the night, to the point where my parents told me to stop so they could go to sleep!
In my teenage years I joined bands & learnt basically on the fly how to work as a group. Once I realised that keyboards were not as portable & able to be played on beaches / around campfires, I taught myself guitar. By adding drums, harmonica & bass to my arsenal, the stage was set for a fully working band to record in my garage. Since setting up my home studio, I love recording a tune each week & especially love collaborating with all the extremely talented musicians on soundcloud. I'm a full time musician, with many different hats in the music community. Including songwriter, composer, live musician & blog writer.
