it's great Veikko, is this the recording you talked to me about?

great track, great sax and piano work love it.

Next stop the future! All aboard for a sensational track that gets the blood pumping.  This project was short sweet and to the point and it knew what it wanted to be early on. Drums and lead from the Synthstrom Deluge, chords and melody from the Arturia Microfreak, arpeggiated bass from the Novation Ultranova. Music video on YouTube

Not much to say about this track. The sounds just kind of make me happy.

I took the picture a few months ago when I got an Apple II out to play. I wrote a little BASIC loop that continuously printed a pattern of ones and zeros. Then I played Ultima 4.

Having A Good Time

I listened to the song "No Speed Limit" by OSS & The Orb and wanted to get serious about processing the sound.
I wanted to further modify the sound I made, like touching the paint with my finger and stretching it on the canvas. The artists I admire have a lot of influence on us. I can't say that I want to be the same, but I felt trembling and wanted to try my music.
The title is a passage sung by the baritone that appears in Beethoven's 9th and 4th movements. I think it's clear that my song is still half-served.

Canope, le dixième prélude du livre 2 est l'un des morceau les plus étranges du compositeur. Les bocaux canopes sont des urnes, souvent avec des bouchons minutieusement sculptés, utilisés dans le processus de momification de l'Égypte ancienne - la signification précise dans le contexte de ce prélude est inconnue. Pour ma part j'y entends un hommage à Erik Satie.

Do You Love Me
I wrote this song back in early December.  I have sat on it since then trying to decide if I liked it enough to publish it.  I am still not sure if it deserves the light of day.  I like the chorus.  But the verse doesn't have the quality feel I desire.  Let me know.  Should I have tossed this song?

Lyrics:  Do You Love Me

Intro:
Do You Love Me

Verse 1:
You loved me once
I was not a dunce
And I still love you
And I am not blue

Sometimes I have my doubts
Days with ins and out
But maybe it’s all me
Trying not to flee

Chorus:
I am a small man
And I have my clan

Verse 2:
I am not a leader
But I am a good breeder
Just a regular guy
Who will look you in the eye

Living a normal life
With you I hope my wife
Full of insecurity
Nothing is a surety

Verse 3:
I have some confidence 
I can hold a conference
All mixed together
Sometimes light like a feather

Not sure where I stand
But when called, I can command
I can lead those in need
and help those who need freed

Outro:
Do You Love Me

Do You Love Me

My warmest thanks to everyone stopping by for listening to my  'REVIEW   OF THE PAST TIME PIANISTS' INTERPRETATIONS ON THE HISTORICAL PIANO ROLLS, and also to a small LIST of MY MODEST OWN RENDITIONS, all of the latter representing a variety of piano music & some pipe-organ classics, - and  TO THE Growing LISTS OF (just lately done and reproduced)  TRANSCRIPTIONS OF VARIOUS CHAMBER MUSIC CLASSICAL PEARLS FOR TWO PIANOS.
A HEADSET IS RECOMMENDED for optimal sound experience!
This kind of 'touching' on these old pre-sound-rec. era works by the great performers of the past, and giving my sound to these old 'punch rolls',  makes me feel  deep humbleness, .and I wish that this modest attempt to bring these  performances alive will satisfy you listening to them!
To introduce myself...
I am a Finnish M.D., PhD. and Hand Surgeon (now retired), previously when young with 10 years of professionally orientated piano studies at Turku Conservatory in 1965-1975, partly  along with medical University studies. 
The digital sound techniques have become very familiar to me already from 1980's along with my university research work  
and my musical activities.
As continuation to my musical and professional experience, I have, during the last few years of my retirement, adopted a music historical challenge
to bring the past time major and minor pianists, prior to sound-recording era, onto the same 'start line' with the present pianists, by making their presentations, played onto 'punch rolls' i.e. piano rolls, audible with modern digital techniques. This wouldn't be possible without the pioneering  efforts of Richard Stibbons, Wayne Stahnke, Terry Smythe, Warren Trachtman, Spencer Chase, and others, who developed the optical digitizing techniques of the piano rolls, and digitized them.

The main part of my recordings here in SC consists of selection recorded by me from optically digitized piano-rolls** (from 1910's on or earlier, classical and 'vintage era'). These recordings of mine are not and will not be commercially unavailable. - The rolls were first optically scanned and converted into a digital form by diverse operators** (see also to the info of each piece). The pieces here were partly (minor part) picked from various open net sources, publicly available, but mainly from the huge archive (n=ca.5000) of digitized copies copies of the original reproducing piano rolls, made available to me by one of the pioneers of roll digitizing tehchniques (willing to keep anonymous), and then recorded from this archive mainly with virtual grand piano (called by me 'Bluethner Model One') modified/re-designed by me, as well as the rec settings. 
Also a minor selection of my own renditions among my records can be found here, included on my playlist 'Bach Goes Virtual', the name of the list telling something about the techniques used for getting the end result... The list includes various organ works by J.S.Bach and others, and also a few piano renditions of mine. Then there are included also various pieces which have been in my repertoire, but here played mainly by the  'guest' great players of the past (before the sound recording era).
MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO THE NOBLE DONOR  OF THIS INVALUABLE PIANO ROLL MATERIAL FOR MY USE!!!
My Sincere Thanks also to The Player Piano Group, UK, for providing me their permission to use the information about the piano rolls collected and provided on their web page ( https://rolls.playerpianogroup.org.uk ),  and for simplifying my short historical presentations of these renditions on their re-publication here!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO EVERYONE  OF YOU FOR LISTENING, AND FOR YOUR 'LIKES' & COMMENTS !
YOUR LISTENING & FEEDBACK IS TRULY APPRECIATED..!!.
Use of good headphones or speakers will make your music experience more enjoyable!
Best wishes, all the best
Veikko
