The previous work title was 'Warsz'. 'Warszawa' is played on my Petrof upright piano with the middle 'study' pedal pressed. I replaced the vilt that demp the strings with a thicker vilt. It produces unexpected resonance sounds and a dark very warm sound as well. I often play with the 'study' pedal pressed (the middle pedal). Other sounds came from my PC3K8 synth I added later.
I was inspired by Warszawa from Bowie and the stories I read about this ambient track with Brian Eno. A city with an impressive history, The lack of freedom at the time of the iron curtain, the cold war was the inspiration for Bowie. Also the use of an existing composition for a choir made the track sound hopeful. But you may hear what you like to hear. It's Warszawa. 
My interpretation is a feeling of waiting in a park and think about the history of this city, a very big role in the history of Europa.

The three famous notes from the original intro I also use in this composition when I start playing  with the right hand.

Capricious Lines

Warszawa

Ambient very old school ala Brian Eno. Inspired by Ennio Morricone

Once a place like heaven and now neglected, almost forgotten. But I enjoy the ruins, the (forgotten) memories and see the beauty. I like to visit abandoned houses and fantasize about the past. I paint it more beautiful than it was ever before. Something like heaven, sweeter than heaven Nostalgia!

Abandoned heaven

Cover 'I Feel Love' van Giorgo Morodor en Donna Summer.  Zangeres is onmisbaar en zou het enorm doen opfleuren en tot z'n recht laten komen, maar het blijft te gek.

Covered Wagons

I Feel Love - Donna Summer | Giorgio Moroder

compositions can be played very differently and deviate from the original, but the melody remains recognizable. Arranged on piano 2017 thanks to  the composition from Gary Numan - Tubeway Army

Thwum 8

Are friends electric- Gary Numan

The first sequenced based disco hit I heard was from Donna Summer (music from Giorgo Morodor) in the seventies.  It was amazing that time when I was a kid. But most inspiring sequences in popsongs were made bij the Eurythmics (Dave Stewart).  When I was lookin for a title 1984 came up (Dave Stewart wrote the music for the movie). The story was a revelation in 1948 13 years before I was born. The thruth in 2018 is even worse! So why not a flashback to the future, go go go!
(When I was working on this doubleplusgood track in 2007 I heard the Knight Rider passing by after some time(ha!).)

"Boopy Doopy Doopy Doo Boop Oopy Doo", I Wanne Be Loved By You komt uit 1928 geschreven door het trio Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby en Herbert Stothar. Het werd vnl. bekend door de bioscoop tekenfilm Betty Boop en zangeres Helen Kane die model stond voor Betty Boop. Het scatten (boop oop a doop) is weer geïnspireerd op Baby Esther Jones wat Helen Kane ook erg leuk vond om na te doen. Betty Boop kan haar achternaam niet anders hebben gekregen door de beroemde scat van Esther Jones. Het is een interessante geschiedenis van dit ontzettende leuke liedje wat ik leerde kennen van Marilyn Monroe. #getmoreplays

I Wanne Be Loved By You

I used the sequence from Daniel Fisher in this ambient composition. The lyrics from 'Breathe' inspired me too. Thoughts about this time we live in. 

The sequence is from Daniel Fisher made for the K2000 and adapted for the PC3K8.

Dig and run

I have played pianos that I cherish, such as this lonely elderly Waldemar with serious flaws in a cathedral near me just outside the village where I live. The recording is from a digital source (synth). #getmoreplays

My second interpretation of 'Come as you are' one of the most beautiful songs I know. I re-used an old composition of my own ('Hello') for this arrangement. At about 0:32 you will recognize the melody. Again I'm convinced about the enormous talents of this band Nirvana and the power of the melody and message of the song. Thank you Kurt  R.I.P. #getmoreplays

Come as you are

Come As You Are

PopCorn is de eerste synthpop hit (eerste versie 1969)van de
componist Gershon Kingsley. Gemaakt op de legendarische Moog synthesizer. Het was een enorme hit destijds. Mijn aandacht viel op een piano arrangement van producer componist Damien Riba (gevonden op soundcloud). Ik vond het op de sfeer van Erik Satie lijken, de nostalgische romatische sfeer van Parijs.  Het past uitstekend in mijn piano repertoire. Gershon werd geïnspireerd bij het maken van dit nummer door Invention van Bach. 

Gershon Kingsley werd 97 jaar † 2019-12-10
