Okay so here it is, this is the blues piano piece I've been learning since **forever**. Tonight is the first time I've been able to play it through, twice, without making some kind of mistake. That said I had to slow to 80bpm which is too slow…

This is a remix of my earlier track [Metaphysical Beat 2](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/metaphysical-beat-2). In fact it's the 4th remix but the first one I'm really happy with. I even found myself trying to dance along to this when I…

My piano teacher thought it might be nice for me to learn to play a carol and came up with this arrangement, by Gilbert DeBenedetti, of 'Silent Night'. Not being much into carols it wouldn't have occurred to me to try one but I liked the sound…

This is the recording of my performance of Einaudi's 'I due fuimi' at the Littlewick Green church hall as part of the Cherry Garden Music winter concert. It was played on a seemingly quite old Steinway concert grand. I aim to find out more…

Another progress recording, with another month or so of practice and a 16-day practice streak. The concert where I am playing this is next week. I'm hoping to lock in a little more speed between now and then (although I note I seem to have…

A huge improvement - it's coming together very nicely. Good to hear some dynamics in there!

This is a recording of the first time I have played Ludivico Einaudi's "I Due Fuimi" all the way through. It includes numerous errors & slight pauses but I managed to keep going and finish it and after MANY months of practice that feels…

Woooohooooo!! Go you! :) So glad you got the recording. Hope it's given you some confidence. I know you took a break from learning for awhile, but delighted you went back to it. Onwards onwards! More more!!

Just what I needed. I *really* like that this was recorded with the room sound, hit the spot.

This is a track I've been working on for quite a while so I am glad to finally have it out of my head. I have a kind of love/hate relationship with time and its humble functionary, the clock. Ticking, in particular, is something I am ambivalent…

A piece of experimental whimsy. I took a nice piano loop from the Logic library and utterly destroyed it with The Finger. What's interesting about this to me is that I was not playing the MIDI driving The Finger but using Elysium to do so. Here…

Nice. I'll have to go listen to more of your stuff now.

It's been so long since I've made any music I've kind of forgotten how. I was just noodling about and thought I had a sound I liked so I bounced it out quite quickly. This one is all made with Reaktor and Boscomac's Air Piano ensemble, plus…

Very cool tension. It feels like it's speeding up and I'm not completely sure it isn't.

I have no idea why I thought "Edward Lear" and "Ring Modulator" in the same moment. Probably I shouldn't have.
