This was for my mother who had just had the all clear for a cancer. She was on a flowing stream of life. All ok now.
I experimented with some acoustic buttons. Terrible sound and it did not transfer well from the Smartphone. This is raw...but it flowed to where I do not know...

Mothers Flowing Stream

Mothers Flowing Stream (Acoustic Church Version)

Well, I had to start somewhere. I couldn't even give it a proper name. It was recorded on my Smartphone in 2018, as a one- off as I play and raw and unedited. A real experiment. 
I might be a little embarrassed about its simplistic naivety. It got me to compose more tunes though.

My First Piano Tune

Played and recorded unedited straight off my head.(smartphone recording)
Well...it was worth a try.
Thank you for your listening interest.

My Soft Classical Piece

Platinum Sky for our late Queens platinum jubilee, Not sure if it works, but felt I had to compose something.

Platinum Sky

I just came up with this tune sitting at the piano whilst looking out of the window at the autumn leaves whilst it was raining. Some folks seem to like it. It was an experiment using those instrument selections of strings and the Clavinova sound, but in the end, it sort of suits the 'rain feel' of this tune.

A lilting story of young Japanese Geisha girl performing a beautiful dance with the setting sun.

Sunset Dance with strings

Piano version of my remastered track.
 “The sun does not know good, the sun does not know bad. The sun illuminates and warms everyone equally. Whoever finds you is like the sun … ”

Just the piano version, that many prefer.
A tune for all my vintage friends over the years...with thanks.

My Vintage Friends

This is an alternative version of my tune 'My Vintage Friends' for those who prefer no artificial strings accompaniment.
I always had a great time with my vintage friends. Nice to share ways.

My Vintage Friends and a Piano

Nick Waite

Composed for a young couple moving into their first home, with an air of excitement.
Previously unpublished tune, so  I have  just put out for the hell of it.
It's very basic and one of my early 2019 tunes recorded on my iPhone, so its like its coming out of a tin can and recorded in one take with all the mistakes...I probably couldn't play it again now.

Hi,

I am a Soft Classical, 1930s-40s British Dance Bands , Big Bands, Jazz music listener and small time amateur composer.

I play the saxophone and piano by ear and I normally only play tunes that I know well from memory.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my first album and tracks.
These compositions are some of my musical ideas and experiments in assorted styles of Soft Classical, New Age and Tudor England style music.
I am not a musician and cannot read or write music down and I have had no formal music lessons or piano training in my life. 
I play very basic piano, on my old 1994 Yamaha Clavinova … a real pianist will hear this straight away, so I prefer the composing side of music more.

I usually get my inspiration whilst sitting at the piano or if I see something outside of the window or if there are any special occasions at the time.
Some tracks, you might be able to hear that I am recording them straight off as I play, in an unedited improvised way, so some tunes are a bit of a mystery tour, all 100% original, albeit raw…
My long-term aim is for someone to convert some of my composed tracks down on to manuscript and then it would be great if a professional orchestra could make a full orchestration of certain tracks and then may be used for a TV theme, or a film score etc.

One of the hardest things for myself to take on board is that once a new tune has been finished, I can only ever play it again if it is still fresh in my mind or practice playing it repeatedly…time passing is not good for my recount.
I did not ever envisage that I would put an album out to the public, so apart from the newer tracks, which sound better as they were recorded directly from my piano to my upstairs PC soundcard with a 7-metre cable.
Some of my earlier composed tracks were recorded with just a Smartphone, so they are no way near to approaching studio quality…. saying that…hopefully they give you some atmosphere and charm with a flavour of what I was trying to achieve.
I have put this album out mostly for my family and posterity …. music is for sharing and I have nothing to lose.

Best wishes,
Nick
