ambient


this piece caught me unawares - I used just four cells to start, and already, I had a beautiful, sparse, grand piano / ambient piece...but maybe a bit too sparse, there were still too many really overlong spaces...so I decided to add in a few carefully placed cells, to try and increase the number of notes, and reduce the super long, note-less spaces.

that was a bit tricky, but eventually, I found a balance - not too many long, long silences (but, still, a few, because they are nice!) but not too much activity...

in the end, I ended up with a really, really beautiful piece of ambient music, OK, maybe the format is a bit predictable (grand piano in a big, echo-ey reverb room) - I realise that "grand piano into reverb" is maybe one of the biggest clichés in ambient music, but - in this case - it works beautifully; mixtikl randomly selects single notes, partial chords, in a beautiful, unpredictable way - and the result is one of the nicest pieces of ambient mixtikl has produced so far - a really beautiful piece, and another one that I could listen to for hours on end. sigh.
