::TURN UP THE VOLUME ON YOUR SPEAKERS!!!::

It's been a little while since I submitted a song. I'm still going to be relatively inactive. But here's a submission to keep you, my fans, enjoying your days with music!
This was a very fun piece to write, and also very experimental as I did a lot of new things that I hadn't done before.

I'm not sure how many techno/trance/dance tracks have stories behind the music, but this one certainly does.
Here goes:

0:00
The Pianist (represented by the melody) is writing alone, enjoying the music alone. But soon the allure of something more lures the Pianist.
0:27
The Pianist enters the music scene from the bottom (represented by entrance of bass). Soon more and more people become fans of the Pianist and start giving support. The Pianist starts to make a name for himself (reentrance of melody).
0:54
The Pianist finally makes it big and everyone is cheering him on. The Pianist has the big concert.
1:22
The concert is over, the crowd is dying out.
1:36
The Pianist plays the song... alone again.

I hope everybody will enjoy listening to this track. Please leave a review!

::EDIT::
02/22/2009 - As I've heard from reviews, the crowd sounds weren't really that good at all, so I just took them out. Guess they weren't that needed. :P

"Nicely done"

This is very nice. Do you have any sheet music for the piano (people may say i ask for sheet music a lot).

"5x8"

date: November 10, 2009

This concept is similar to "The Composer". In fact, its almost the same. But NewGrounds is an open site so I won't penalize for copying.

However, the song doesn't really fit the story. Its supposed to be a piano. The piano isn't used much, except at the beginning. In addition, when the pianist is playing by himself, there shouldn't be as much harmony. It sounds like a full orchestra.

But the song in general is good. 5x8+fav.

"A nice listen"

date: September 23, 2009

I liked the piece. In general, like piano music but the story listed above adds a bit more imagination to it.

I was curious as to how this would sound with more piano in the 0:27-1:16 instead of the straight synth.
