Warm intro chords, vocal clear, nice mix. Slightly hoarse voice. Reverential style. A song that is also a prayer and an exhalation of belief, perhaps also a memory.

My personal version of  a brilliant and hypnotic piece to me.

Thanks for your time to listen.

God put a smile upon your face - Cold Play (Cover)

At the edge of a quarry near home, there’s a mighty grey wall of rock, standing tall like a row of bottom teeth. They’re blasted by salt water, spattered with lichen in blacks, yellows and a fuggy kinda green. They protect the quarry from storms, carrying waves the size of terraced houses and throwing them into the cliff. It’s a great place to watch sea foam, the bath bubbles flying by, gulls and gorse in tow. This song is inspired by some incredible people in my life, and the relationships which got dark and heavy when dark and heavy things happened. They love in a naked, brave, messy and defiant way, despite the risk of loss and vulnerability. With the power of those big quarry boulders under my feet, reminding me of the love I’ve felt from friends and lovers alike, I wrote this song.

This is the 6th track and sentimental piano solo song included in '24 Piano Sketches' that is a new solo album from Yuki Murata, the Tokyo-based pianist/composer and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF and Films, who fascinates music fans in the world by her lovely melodies and piano sounds.

As the name suggests, '24 Piano Sketches' includes 24 piano songs which Yuki Murata plays improvisations on her own grand and upright pianos. This long project is going to add 2 songs every month and ultimately 24 songs in one year, allowing the listeners to feel the changing of the season in real-time via the beautiful, warm, and sometimes melancholic piano sounds.

This time, she purposely selected a cassette tape recorder, a MiniDisc player, and an early generation of iPhone as the recording equipments for each song, unlike studio albums from her own bands such as Anoice. These retro and simplistic recording devices were able to capture not only a creaking noise coming from the piano and the environmental sounds outside the window, but also a noise occurred by cheap microphones, which make this album so impressive. Its nostalgic soundscape may remind her listeners of her first solo album 'Films' and second solo album 'Home'.

You should feel the changing of the seasons with the beautiful piano melodies.

I do not have a personal experience in it but I am sure it must be fun to visit the Egyptian pyramids on a back or a camel.

In a change from my usual record in one live take this was recorded in two stages. I used both VCV Rack and Ongaku from Giorgio Sancristoforo; https://www.giorgiosancristoforo.net. As both are running as stand alone instruments I cant record them simultaneously.  Having a good idea of how the two would fit together I was able to record the VCV elements then play them back and add Ongaku. Additional effects were then added to the Ongaku part, this was planned for in advance. For the final mix I copied a couple of them to one of the VCV elements to blend across the transition.
