Hey guys
Thought I'd share a new recording with ya'll, it my first attempt trying something like this one. In my of time when I'm not writing "Sing-Songs" alot of the time I am writing solo piano music. I have a nice amount of these solo piano pieces that I've written while noodling at the family piano lol!
Anyway this one is about 2 years old now I guess but the strings are a brand new Idea that I added after recording the Piano(Yes its not a real piano, its my Roland rd 700 ) I did it all free time, I was trying to use the metronome but it seemed to ruin my feel for the song I believe preforming it this way os more expressive...
I named it Nocturne' Lament, One it sounds cool, two, its kinda sad sounding, Three, I have no other ideas! lol. It's in F# minor.
Link is in my Signature!!
Thanks guys I hope you take a listen and let me know what you think! Cameron
P.S. Mike thanks for the birthday email! I have a new track in the works already thats looking awesome so far! Hold on!

Nice work, Cameron! Excellent piece, impeccably played. I agree that the restraint of a metronome would have impeded your execution, particularly the dynamics. Nice separation in the recording as well - great use of the stereo field.

Cameron, I say increase the sadness of the song all the way up to desperation by wailing some Cry-Baby WAH licks into it!!! Well, you know me and my great ideas? Brilliant piano playing and nice clean-sounding mix. Always enjoy your posts, definitely inspiring. Stan

Cam - Yes, the piano has a very nice acoustic sound to it. Some of the tempo changes are a little to abrupt for my taste, so maybe trying it with the metronome might have helped smooth out some of those rough spots. I can hear where you and I would have different approaches to the string parts. Not that I could have done it 'better', but 'different'. Certainly this piece aches for strings, and what you've added supports the piano very well.
I liked some of the changes, which sound almost like key transistions here and there. Overall the piece reminds me of Charlie Chaplin - very sad, to be sure, but those little melisamatic runs lend a touch of exuberance and nobility, which act as a counterpoint to the general minor feel.
I may end up d/l this to add to my bootleg Cameron Pierce CD.
