Title: Autumn Tempest
Post by: Q.K. on October 06, 2008, 10:51:45 pm: Well it's fall again and this time generally has so many emotions I just *have* to write a song about it. Take a listen, C&C is welcome.

Forgot to mention, this is written, played by, and recorded live by myself. I'm still learning in regards to miking and post processing a piano though, so sorry if the quality's not amazing...

Edit: Haha, you edited before I refreshed. You can really play piano well O_O.

New version, retouched a few things. Quality of processing should be better this time around. No more comments? :p

At first I noticed the lack of "special effects" you usually put in your pieces, but it seems it's because you recorded it live, isn't it?
In my opinion, some parts of the song are too silenced; makes it sounds like just a "rain", and only become a real "tempest" at 01:30~2:00; maybe it would be nice if you added more notes along the song to symbolize the numerous drops hitting the ground?

By the way, very nice effect with the double notes. This song has a very good harmony.

Post by: Q.K. on October 13, 2008, 12:51:46 am: Yeah I took any special effects out because I just wanted a solo piano piece. I dunno, it didn't seem fitting to put anything more than just this in.

As for the other comment about just being a 'rain' not a 'tempest' to get technical a tempest refers more to wind so the silenced parts symbolize more of a cool autumn breeze at first which grows into a heavier flurry of falling leaves. Either interpretation works I guess but I'm not sure if I'll add more notes to it... I think it's a very simple piece right now and that was on purpose. Like the previous thing with no effects added I think doing anything past this point would only make things busy.

That said I still really appreciate the comments :p gets me thinking about things I could do or could have done if I wanted to change the mood a bit.

I see what you mean. I was thinking of a "rain" tempest when I first saw it :P Now it makes more sense.

Maybe it was just me, but the timing felt off in some parts.
