Song #4 for FAWM. More solo piano.

One of the things I struggle with, with all of these pure piano pieces is how much to edit/fix them.

Way way back in the day, I quantized everything precisely and made all of the velocities the same. To this day, I have no idea why I was messing with note volumes like that. It all made for some Very. Robotic. Playing.

These days I think I almost border on leaving the performance too human. I leave complete mistakes in sometimes (if they sort of work). I leave sloppy timings in. I’ve stopped quantizing by default. Now, I just seem to be fixing the horrible stuff.

I always assume I’ll come back to it and really learn how to play the piece mistake free and do it in one-take and leave it completely alone.

Yeah, someday.

Another beautiful piece. I think a drummer said it, something like, "I spent 30 years trying to be perfect, and now I'm trying to unlearn it." Or something like that...being human is always better than being "perfect."
