I wasn't going to upload this, but I figured I might as well. This was originally gonna be my entry in the first round of the NGADM. I hooked up my midi piano, set the instrument to a harp, and just went with the flow. I was going to layer it with a bunch of other stuff but I just couldn't get anywhere with it.

I'm kind of embarrassed posting this because I'm not very good at playing the piano. I've barely practiced with it and I'm sure this song sounds terrible to anyone who actually knows how to play it for real. But I wanted to have something that felt more tangible and... uh... improvised? I guess? I don't know.

Hope you enjoy it, regardless!

Fantastic.
This is something i would probably expect the part of myself with the shallow amount of sanity that's left within myself to be creating, if i could play harp that is...
Come to think of it, it kinda reminds me of David Firth's animation...

I'm glad it gave you such vivid imagery! =)

You did damn good. nicely done!

Chemiqals responds:

Thank you! Much appreciated! ^_^

funny that the harmonys and progressions in this piece kind of reflect your description of the story behind it. It really gives me a mellow sort of depressed and if you will ashamed feeling, so in my oppinion this would have had something to be successful in the ngadm. Then again I don't know that much about how you would have been recieved by the judges and so on. I think it's nice. Not perfect and your mixing could have been a little more expressive and open but the accentuation of the low mid still suits the vibe of the tune. Very emotional in my oppinion! You might have a talent for this kind of stuff.

Keep on going and stop being so hard on your self, this could have been great! (and it still is in some respect)

Chemiqals responds:

Thanks! I figured that the judges of the NGADM would like to hear something a little more layered and "interesting", so I made Swan Lullaby instead. Not that I don't think they can appreciate a more simple and toned down piece. I just wanted to push myself!

I don't think this sounds terrible at all :)
I have heard better, but this is a solid improvisation for sure!
I'm not too good at improvising either, even if I can play the piano pretty well. Thus, I'd say you've done a good job here, so... Good job! ;)

Chemiqals responds:

Thank you! I'm glad you think so. Your piano work is beautiful!
