New Piano Tracks: Raw Improv
So I’ve been working on my improv skills lately. Just messing around a bit and seeing what I could come up with. So what I did was pick a key, style and voicing and recorded what came out. No practice before hand, just a few seconds to find a key and voicing that sounded cool, and I went with it. They aren’t perfect and the quality ain’t the best, but that’s part of the fun and the charm.
Key: A Major
Voicing: Synth
Style: Disney World Melodic
Key: E minor
Voicing: Straight Piano
Style: Blues
Key: E flat minor
Voicing: Rhodes
Style: Jazzy
Now, I would like your help. Request an improve by telling me what Key, Voicing, and Style (like above). Also, feel free to include special instructions, like ‘make it sound like such and such song’ or ‘include a C# chord’ etc. Have fun, challenge me, and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

I thought the E Minor straight piano track was nice. I’d love to hear a cleaned up version of it. Nice work.

The E Minor one was very cool. I’ve always been a sucker for minor keys.
Do something in D Flat Major / B Flat Minor. Is there even a difference between the two? The trombonist in me likes those keys. Make it eerie! Strings!
