Steemit OpenMic 83 - A little Rainy walz (original composition including improvisation) [EN ; FR]
Hello Steemit and especially hello Steemit musicians !!
So, I joined Steemit a few weeks ago and this is my first participation in this great contest.
I improvised a little bit and created a little composition specifically for OpenMic 83 week. It's like a jazz standard - a theme, a bridge and improvisation around.
I have two recordings, but I choose to present here this one which is not perfect technically on the piano. I have the feeling this one is more honest and interesting in the improvisation ideas compared to the first one.
As a classical pianist who made the road to jazz and improvisation as an adult, right now I am about to let go the obsession of the technique and visual effects. I am looking for simplicity and honesty in my music and music of other people.
THANKS and GRATITUDE
Special thanks to @luzcypher and @pfunk hosting and sponsoring this wonderful contest. Thanks to all the judges and really interesting community of musicians on Steemit which is source of inspiration for me. I had a real crush on some of the participants here who really touched my heart.
Thanks for listening and see you around guys !
Salut Steemit et les musiciens de Steemit en particulier !!
J'ai rejoint Steemit il y a quelques semaines et c'est ma première participation à ce concours génial.
Je me suis faite une petite session d'improvisation et j'ai sorti une compo spécialement pour OpenMic 83. C'est structuré comme un standard jazz - un thème avec un pont et improvisation en boucle.
J'ai deux prises, mais je choisis de présenter ici celle qui n'est pas parfaite pianistiquement et techniquement. Je sens que celle-ci est plus honnête et intéressante dans les idées d'impro que la première.
En tant que pianiste classique qui a fait le chemin vers l'improvisation et le jazz à un âge adulte, je suis au stade où je cherche à vraiment lâcher prise sur l'obsession du perfectionnisme et les effets visuels pour épater la galerie. Je recherche la simplicité et l'honnêteté dans ma musique et celle des autres.
REMERCIEMENTS ET GRATITUDE
Remerciements spéciaux à @luzcypher et @pfunk qui organisent et sponsorisent ce magnifique concours. Merci à tous les juges et communauté de musiciens sur Steemit que j'ai trouvée réellement inspirante. J'ai eu de vrais coups de coeur pour certains des participants qui ont su toucher mon coeur.
