It would have been nice if the piano was able to show a bit more but it was out numbered by the guitars. Also it had a more video game sound in some parts, at least compared to the original pure piano recording. Very cool experiment and nice work keeping so many guitars from just turning into a loud buzz. I don't think I ever reached 10 guitars in a single piece.
Thank you so much ken, for your comment. Appreciate it. I wanted to try a more soft version with guitars. Anyway, here is a piano version where I experimentally mixed in many other pianoteq sounds, vibraphone, church bells, out of tune pianos, harpsichord etc etc……….
………because you probably were not on board when I made this one
Enjoy!Best wishes,

Yes indeed I hadn't heard this version previously. Quite interesting, reminds me a bit of the Character Piano collections I put together, at least in terms of the mix of instruments. I can't really say which of these three version I prefer, each can stand on their own for different reasons. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you ken. Just wanted to give you a bit more of pianosound as you mentioned before
Best wishes,
Stig
]]>very cool experiment! i felt like the guitar orchestra added a new perspective to the piece. i also liked the surreal polyhedral video
Thank you budo. What a great choice of words for the comment! ."...the surreal polyhedral video"
Love it!

]]>My orchestration of the piece and sound and video. 10 guitars and one Petrof Mistral.
Jeffrey Harrington, Big piano piece BlueStrider from 1994, as it says "Harrington's 'BlueStrider' is a pounding monster of a piece, with the drama and contrapuntal skill of Beethoven and Stravinsky married with Harrington's own New Orleans barrel-house-blues roots. Obsessive riffs weave their way through both iron-clad logic and exuberance."
Paul Hoffmann gave live performance of it at Renee Weiler Concert Hall, Greenwich Village, on May 18, 2007.
Attached link and link to score pdf. I think it is number 34 in the list.
(I don't understand how anyone can play this on a piano, checked the score.)
But I love this comment…
…a pounding monster of a piece, with the drama and contrapuntal skill of Beethoven and Stravinsky married with Harrington's own New Orleans barrel-house-blues roots. Obsessive riffs weave their way through both iron-clad logic and exuberance.”
Well one of my experiments again, as i say, sometimes you succeed in being inventive and innovative, sometimes you fail. Maybe to experience the experiment itself is better than the result sometimes.
