Cry in Sorrow, by Nobuo Uematsu, is a masterful composition with so much emotion. This was the second score (after FF6 Shadow's Theme) I learned and it stuck with me throughout the years. Melancholy with power, the melodic flow resonates through my fingers as the weight of time fades the past away. 

After moving into my house, this beautiful baby grand was the first must in my life. This antique by Hardman, Peck & Company fostered my passion for composition, elementary jazz, and playing music itself.  But 2023 is a year of change... I haven't played piano much in recent years, so we are planning to send Hardman away. I'm hoping to find a place where this instrument sings into souls as it has done to mine.

Final Fantasy IV - Zeromus' Theme (Ymp's Hard Remix)

Fan of epic orchestrations. Here to do and share the same.

I had my first keyboard at 14 years old. I remember finding out about the concept of chords by randomly spreading out my 3 first fingers on 3 white notes with 1 white note in between not being pressed... wow! 

Then later came the interrogation, from a friend of mine, of why "the sound made when playing a chord (it was major or minor) kind of varies slowly over time...

A few years later, when I was in college, my friend who studied in electronics gave me a sheet with every 432Hz-convention's notes' frequencies in Hz. Looking at it I would notice that there seems to be simple fractions approximated by the frequencies of a major chord (by then I've gotten familiar with all 3 & 4-note chords).

Following my observations, I would then come up with the idea of making music made of notes that would be 4/3, 5/3, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 6/5, 7/5, 8/5, and 9/5. Mind you; I wasn't aware that the notes chosen would resemble that which I already used before on a 12Tet keyboard, 7/4 being the farthest my experiments would get me from what we get to play on a regular keyboard. I was still young, and did not even remotely considered to come to the fact that this is what harmony is actually based on.

It was only in 2011, like 13 years later, than I would one night find out about what Just Intonation is, and realize my old idea of using ratios to tune notes wasn't an original, Machiavellian, super-mastermind plan.

About 5 other years passed, before one day I purchased a new keyboard which came with Ableton Live software. I would then use that to make improvisation tracks over popular songs. It took about another year before I started producing microtonal music using FL Studio.

For 21 years I have carried my desire to make my own music without actually doing anything else than talking (and thinking) about it, like a friend of mine once pointed me out after I shared my ideas on "what I'll do when I'll make music". Better late than never...
