I have an Aunt in New York who has a piano. When I visit I always make time for the ivories — playing piano is one of my favorite things to do. This somewhat well defined, somewhat unfinished piece started with some simple piano voicing and evolved into a couple of piano overdubs … some of the overdubs could have been done easily by a good player I’m sure, but I haven’t quite gotten the hang of hand independency.
It was April of 2007 and I have a vague recollection of it raining and being at night. I got a hold of some storm sounds to hammer that home, and whipped up a Garageband session (my tool of choice at the time) complete with Apple Loop drums which I’ve never had an opportunity to replace. This is a very straightforward tune, but for me there’s always been something about this kind of downward motion that I find appealing. There’s a piano ostinato that is established and eventually mimicked by a synth, and that’s really about it!
