Wonderful ❤ 🎉 i Like This - See you soon ❤🎉❤

That silly ol' bugger had some tricks up his sleeve for sure

I'm right with you! I've really grown to love these pieces over the past few months. Quite tricky to master if you're so tonally oriented like I am! I'm a regular visiter to your Piano Piece Op. 1 No. 1 btw, discovering something new with every listen. Thanks for your art!

I'm the same age as he was when he died and I feel like I can barely tie my shoes.

​@@sjaakdouma That's why my hack for this age and onwards is to wear shoes that you can just slip in and out of (with the aid of a schoenlepel because this body's creakin') Some people have such an overabundance of talent that their life can't encompass it. 🖤 Makes me think of these lines again from a Mary Oliver poem that is, sadly, always apt: "Let me be urgent as a knife, then, / and remind you of Keats, / so single of purpose and thinking, for a while, / he had a lifetime."

@@kobitoergosum Haha yes, I have slip-ins and I'm never looking back. Dang, that's a beautiful poem. I've never heard of her, thanks for introducing me!

@@sjaakdouma Heck yeah, slip-ins are the best! You're very welcome. I've been sharing her Fourth Sign of the Zodiac poem especially for years and years now because, in all its hopelessness, it's still so adamantly loving of nature and life. To use my own words from when she died a few years ago, "Her words meant everything".

It's relatively light-hearted for Scriabin, but I'm glad his usual agony and suffering can still be heard beneath the surface.

​​@@sjaakdouma Hahaha, we can depend on Scriabin for our daily dose of doom ✨

@@ElaineCulbert thanks Elaine!

Bach is never easy, but always rewarding :)

Thank you! And sorry about that, but I just had to due to some recent policy changes at Spotify HQ that f*cks over smaller artists. I do think its possible to listen to external files through Spotify in some way though, so rip away and importeth at your pleasure.

Thanks! Nu is deze setup een beetje anders dan je zou denken (lang verhaal kort; ik neem op mijn Steinway M op, en dub op de A88 voor video). Maar ik vind de A88 zeker fijn spelen (ik vind mijn MKI versie wel beter dan de MKII). Ik ben ook fan van de Kawai VPC1 en SL88 Grand, beiden met houten toetsen. Qua samples gebruik al een aantal jaar Keyscape, die reageert wat mij betreft heel natuurlijk qua dynamiek. Ook PianoTeq reageert heel nauwkeurig, maar die vind ik dan niet altijd overtuigend qua klank. Ik heb verder geen ervaring met alle libraries die er in de afgelopen jaren bij zijn gekomen :)

Many thanks Frederic! Previn's arrangement is so good!

It's a Roland A88 MK1!

Thanks André! I actually just started looking at the Mikrokosmos after a teacher of mine recommended them to me a while back for composition techniques. Really inspiring stuff!

I love how schizophrenic it is!

Sounds beautiful, thanks for the movie tip ;)

Greatly appreciated André!

Het zou er goed bij passen ja!

Short answer: Roland A-88 Long answer: check my reply to DeRanods' comment down below for the nuts and bolts of my recording process!

@@sjaakdouma legends say i am still finding that comment

Tell me about it! I severely underestimated these for sure. Really rewarding though!

He must've had a good day inbetween his usual suffering
