First Light

This week I took a slightly different approach. I heard about Christian Henson's idea of a collaborative systems music event on youtube the other day. The idea was started with him doing two piano takes for the upcoming #pianoday. Then sharing his project with everyone for them to add their own take to sort of make a Steve Reich-esque track. So far there's all kinds of submissions ranging from pianos, guitars and even a lawnmower. My take is pretty basic with a few pianos (from my Roland) and some light ambient stuff in the background. The youtube versions don't include his takes because he will be mixing what he likes. So for this week's track I figured why not just use his two takes since he supplies the chords & midi in the project. If you'd like to check out the event visit Christian Henson's channel on YT or check out my "video" for the links below. Hopefully I get the BBcode correct. Also I'm horrible with video editing, hence it became a screen cap of Ableton. Oh and all off the videos can be found with the (hashtag) #pianobookpianoday2020
