What about some samples of the music I am playing? nobody has to like it, but I have a hell lot of fun playing it, so who cares if nobody is listening?
As examples of "Classic jazz Piano", here are two samples:
The first is a "real" composition, recorded in the good old times with a tape and passed to the computer using the microphone (no jokes) so please excuse the quality (or the lack thereof): The piece is called "Moods", and was composed in 2003:
Then I got my new iMac, with GarageBand. So remaining in a similar style, but cheating (mixing in some loops, and mostly, making it a "5-hands" piece, here the result. This piece is called "Starshine", and is composed in 2006 (you may recognize the piece that welcomed you on loading this page):
Again in a similar style, using the drummer of Garageband for the rythm and some other instruments. This piece is called "Hope for change", and was composed in 2016:
This time, completely different - let's go for a full orchestra! This piece has no name yet, and was composed in 2016:
And I cannot resist in adding a small sample of my former party-hit: a
Some pieces may be funny, but all are missing something - feel free to tell me what!
Some samples are given below without much further ado...

Now you got this brilliant GarageBand, and you think you can make anything. Well, the answer's no. As soon as I dabble in other instruments the result is questionable...Some pieces may be funny, but all are missing something - feel free to tell me what!
Some samples are given below without much further ado...
Praeludium | This one is almost audible, thanks to Bach. | ||
Sample #1 | Close to my usual things, but with drums and stuff. | ||
Sample #2 | Pretty bad... but I'am trying to be modern... | ||
A Good Laugh | This one is supposed to be nothing but funny. | ||
Sample #3 | The first trial. Only loops, I had no keyboard connection. |
