" Record a piece of music that does change keys"

This one I'm sharing is a track I've been working on since July 2022, eventually a week ago I decided to drop this take and start all over with a solo piano version. It has some key changes, not really sections but there's a permanent "unstable key" feel throughout.

Piano
Classical guitar
Drums (brushes)
Acoustic bass guitar
Wine glasses (background sequence)
Celesta (from sample library)
Synth pad
Key changes go like this:
1st bar E minor 
4th bar A minor
5th bar F# minor
8th bar B minor
9th bar G major
and then back to E minor for the coda.
All repeated twice in this version, with an extended coda.

Shifting Sands (disquiet0570)

This was my contribution for the Disquiet Junto Project 0570: Key Change.
Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0570 discussion thread:
I don’t think I’ve ever done a key change in any of my projects unless by accident, so thank you for this challenge. I had a lot of fun putting this together. This piece shifts from E minor to D minor and back to E minor. I used NI Playbox and ThePhonoLoop Tape.01 plug-ins within Ableton Live for most of the sounds and effects. AudioThing Noises was used to create the background drone.

Change Used To Be My Middle Name (disquiet0570)

Here I arpeggiated Felt Instruments' Helenko celeste and played two sets of keys sampled into Ableton's Simpler. I then passed both through the Felt Instruments Smugi sequenced filter bank. Bass is Softube's Monoment Bass, again passed through Smugi. There is a synth pad following along. Keys are changed. Keys are jangled. We stay mostly in A Dorian with a couple of visits to  C Maj. Similarly we stay mostly in the office keys but make a couple of visits to the house keys.

keys (disquiet0570)

This track is an improvisation on the thought that nothing is as simple as it seems to be. The piano and all other sounds were recorded live from the midi-keyboard.

This is my contribution to the Disquiet Junto project 0570.

20221202 MIDI Piano Variations [disquiet0570]

Months of hearing my kids playing bits of Rush E (Andrew Wrangell) on and off of the piano have inspired a couple MIDI piano pieces.  This second one uses a few different modes and/or keys and is in the style of a duet that has simple beginnings.

All here, in reality, are works in progress and are therefore apt to change at any time. All those except XIII Sisters and RAW which, as many of you may have done, I literally gave away in return for their placement in a library. Something I won't be doing again any time soon. If you have a use for something you hear here please just ask.

ChatGTP said of AI Music...
'Creative AI tools can be seen as sophisticated plagiarism software, as they do not produce genuinely original content but rather emulate and modify existing works by artists subtly enough to circumvent copyright laws'

Sometimes it takes a dispassionate, independent view to actually see the truth of it ...

There are links to XiiixxiQ below. Your mileage may vary as to whether it decides to work on your system or not. It only runs on a Mac because I really don't have time to do all the necessary work to make it compatible with anything other than my 2015 MacBook Pro :-(. It is still being developed (for my own use) and improved, and I may yet get round to doing another release if I can find the time to tidy it all up.
