That's beautiful!
I like that
The music is beautiful Rose,
Be careful about compression in recording tho. Music and sound needs room to breath.
Hugo, I know the recordings still aren't much good, I can't work out why but I suspect I need much better equipment to get the sound right!
That's really nice, very relaxing too. If you would like any help with software/settings/using any equipment etc... feel free to message me. I trained as a sound engineer many years ago, although I never actually worked in a studio I keep up to date with things through home recording.
This is my usual style for home recording: https://soundcloud.com/thevdm/machine-time
I do also play piano and guitar for the less synthesized days.
Some good tracks here Rose.
SDTROL - Like this lots
Titania Awakes - Beautiful, very restful
Hymn (piano version) - Lyrical, great tune.
Over The Trees (short piano version) - Good but I prefer the longer version
Nothing - Really like this track (ignoring the wow and distortion)
(Flying) Over The Trees - Particularly love this track
Same Old Story - Absolutely great, nice vocals
'Nothing' is probably my favourite, which is why the tape is so stretched on this song. The words certainly came from the heart.
I am glad you liked them Mike, thanks for taking the time to listen to them.
It's been a while since I listened to these and it's like hearing then all for the first time. Still can't get over how ridiculously talently you are. I am so jealous.
The pleasure was all mine Rose they repeated on a loop must've listened to them all 3 or 4 times.
I hope you get back to playing piano and composing more songs. :)
I really hope I can find a way to improve the quality of the recordings so they can be listened to at their best.
I messaged my dad asking him if he found the 4-track machine, I have the 4-track tapes, about 8 of them (they are unlikely to be stretched because they were not played as much) so there is likely to be hours of music I can't even remember composing.
I just listened to 'Same Old Story' - it's played on my real piano. That piano has such a gorgeous sound, I miss it so much.
An old fashioned piano is probably best but you need the space for it so I can see a modern electric piano or keyboard can be more convenient.
There is software available for cleaning up old recordings whether it is vinyl or tape.
Yes, I am looking into it.
My real piano is at my aunt's house waiting until I have space for it again. It was a gift from my grandmother. ;(
What a phenomenal gift!
Are you saying you want more? I will try my best.
Rose I'm trying to be on my best behavior due to the promise on more. You can take that as a big yes
Me wants more too Rose.
You know how there are daily calendars where you have to do a crosswords each day? How about making your own music calendar playing one song each day, try recording it and put it on here? I bet there are lots of people wanting to here this.
I missed your post Sam! And it was such a lovely post too!
Well, there is good news. My old music, about 5/6 cassette tapes, will soon be accessible as my dad has purchased me a new 4 track. I have literally no idea what I am going to find in there, but I am excited to find out.
Probably some of the stuff I've already shared, but I should be able to get better quality recordings as I am getting them from the source.
I think there is going to be some drum and bass stuff too....
I am also working on SIX new songs.
So, watch this space.....
Oh how random.... Look what I've found!!!

That's absolutely beautiful, Rose
And I've the got others playing on my iPad in the background :)
That is beautiful!
I've been recording a lot of my music, the original stuff from 15-20 years ago.
I've got three partially recorded albums now.
If you want to listen, you'll probably need headphones turned right up, as recording analog to digital comes out either quiet or distorted (so I went for quiet)

OMG! I've just been reduced to tears in Wetherspoons. You have an incredible talent Rose.
Ok honestly...it was a combination of things. The lyrics struck a chord initially and then thinking about a young version of you and how you are so in tune with the emotional side of things and to be able to project that through your art...Trust me you've managed to connect with your audience and I thank you for sharing your music. You are amazing.
Thank you Stella.
So beautiful...
They are lovely, you have a gift
If you want a good cry.....

This is probably my favourite song of all the songs I wrote.
Wow. When did you write that?
I didn't think you write songs. It's beautiful.
I was 16. It might have been recorded when I was 17 or 18 though.
16? You were still a baby then. That's the tragic part I think.
Sorry, Rose, I haven't listened yet. I'm bursting into tears at every moment as it is so can't put myself through listening to any emotive music - yet. I'll binge play your songs when I can cope better, I promise
No problem Paula. I really hope you feel better soon (bear)
Maybe that's what you need? I love getting lost in music and if that bring tears or laughter or whatever it's all good to get it out of the system. Music can take you on a journey, and that's why I love it
