I like it. The LABS collection and Pianobook have been a great gift and source of inspiration.

Lovely choice of sounds, captures winter very well

I'm late to the party on this one, but it is absolutely gorgeous

Nice track. Tu racontes une histoire, où l'espoir est présent à chaque seconde malgré la mélancolie.✨ Bon boulot j'adore  👌😊

For me this piece expresses a certain kind of yearning... Great job👍😊 

Wow!

Doing this with https://soundcloud.com/florian-luethi-59518579 really managed to create very uncomfy feelings in the first place..... I am very afar from the point where i would call myself a Keyboardplayer or a "Keyboardist", but that is something i really want to achieve some day. Then there is this Swiss Army Knive of a man, playing in a Band, playing in a Bigband, reinventing old classics, playing the Keys like a young god - how can you keep up with someone like him.

He sent me the first stem back then , i think in April 2021... and said that he want it to be our thing. There was a  toiletpaperroll kind of instructions which came along with it and music sheets which i really cannot read. Thank you, goddamn! AHahahah.  It is also slow, has various changes in timing and there is also a short variation in a part with a bpm change. 

Adding this into my DAW and setting it up was one thing, finding the right key to jam along with it and trying to go JAZZ was a complete different take. Holy SH*T. 

I prelistened alot this two milestone versions out there:
Thelonious Monk Quartet - 'Round Midnight -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yg7aZpIXRI and
Miles Davis Quintet - 'Round Midnight - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIgLt7LAZF0, and while doing so, i felt terrible feeble and developed some slight depression torwards the thing which Mr. Lüthi sent me. I was flatterned, that he thought i can keep up with something like that, but also frightened AF.

So i did listen to his version and i simply was not able to do it. I gladly was able to work on any music, but going 42 BPM, sorry, i fucking started going idle ... so slooooooooooow!!! (Remember : Dawn of Damn is 160 bpm - so this track here is a bout 4 times slower). After many months i finally set everything up and for another few months tried to play something to it - progress about to be aligned with those BPM hahah....

Late but nevertheless, the inspiration finally came and while i tried to line up with this jazzy thing, Florian wanted the FY - Mojo and Crazyness, so he completely changed the whole base for the song and bam bam bam - boomarang!! We both hope that you enjoy this new version of a classic which has been re-issued about 2000 times! We are pretty confident, that this version is quite different... :)

Thank you Florian for the possibility to do this with you and all your patience, your super cool uplifting attitude and positive and constructive critic! Also pretty happy, that he allowed me to collaborate with his unique drawing style. I really tried to adapt and went full drawing mode this time! This was so much fun!

All the best to all of you and a great 2k22 !
Yours,
CMD FY

For Any Given Space

... tiny blues attempt .... guitar* and sax improv each in one go ... photo: Anthony Torres, unsplash
... *I'm checking out my my new guitar ;-) ... and I record my guitar attempts with the (weak) hope, that I get something useful out of it :-) .. today I had a little luck :-D

Gimme a minute ... or two

I woke up this evening following a dream in which I was in some sort of hotel where there were ten or so beautiful Yamaha pianos, in a long line beside one another...each piano more lovely than the one before. Paradise. And in my dream, I had played this piece, which I then wrote down on a lined manuscript pad, when I woke up, with a fountain pen (still half asleep)...leaving blue ink on the fingers of my left hand. I played and recorded it immediately, hoping it would be acceptable to name the Sonata....A midwinter night's dream.

Sonatas Op.2 No.22 (A mid-winter night's dream)

Will I be forever dreaming
Tell me what is the meaning
Have the answers while I’m sleeping
when I awake, I’ll be weeping  
To know it all, would that be wise
I’ve lost it all, a million times
A grand adventure off to find.
If only life could be this kind

In Dreams I see these visions, 
attacking my suspicions
leading me to conclusions,
yet awake to pure confusion.

Sit in silence, the world unfolds
All the stories they’ve been foretold
In dreams, in dreams, in dreams
We see these things, that sing

To our hearts hope they bring
Calling us, to a greater being
To reach the stars let glory ring 
But when I awake, life is fleeting
If only I could be so bold
To reach out my hand and hold 
A treasure worth more than gold
How has the trail become this cold

In Dreams I see these visions, 
attacking my suspicions,
leading me to conclusions 
yet awake to pure confusion.

Pure Confusion (remake)

Something About Nothing

Ocean Drive

A short track composed with only instruments from spitfire's LABS collection. I wanted to set myself the restrictions of only using LABS, only using 4 tracks, and writing the full composition in only an hour (I did some mixing separately). This is the result, which I hope you enjoy, although feedback is most welcome!
