Disklavier

Phil,

The other piano you hear is intentional.  It isn't an acoustic, it's an electronic piano and the blending of the sounds is something we were looking for...including the reverb effect.

I'm producing them myself along with the musician.

Glad you liked them!  And thanks for the feedback...It helps!

-Kevin

Hey Kevin,

Yes I am interested in these songs for sure. Nothing better than raw, warm, heart filling jazz! 

Anyway, they sound great, I can however notice the piano in the background, I suppose it's hard to have that completly isiolated from the recording without having the piano far away from each mic on the base/drums and or each band memeber in a recording cell. 

On the song "In you're own sweet way" I noticed a slight - funny sort of reverb but it's more of an pipe echo, it also reminds me of a low res MP3 compression artifact noise but it seems to fade in and out.. but this is common if you listen carfully to some other .wave audio on the Mark4 for some reason, some songs are worse than others.. 

Where did these come from?

Cheers,

Philip

I'm trying to gauge interest in some "pianosoft+audio- like" jazz improv songs.

These would work on any disklavier that can play those CD audio+Midi formats.  I think that means some (all?) Mark IIIs and all MarkIVs.  Maybe others?

The "+audio" is basically jazz accompaniment.  So, think upright bass, and a drum kit.

All of these songs are played by a real live musician, with no editing, and no planning ahead...it's basically real jazz improv played from lead sheets.  I think that it is quite a bit better than the stuff that you generally run across.

Anyway, I've put together 5 samples of these for anyone who is interested to download.  I'd love to hear any and all feedback.  The files are zipped, and in the zips are WAV files.  To play these on a MarkIV, you only need to get them into your piano's FromToPC folder.  On a Mark III, you'd need to either burn the WAVs as an audio CD, or play them back on a computer plugged into the correct jacks on the piano.

This is a link to the "folder" where each of the files can be downloaded, or all can be downloaded at once.

Thanks in advance for any and all feedback.

-Kevin
