Topic: Three Albums of Original Classical-Style Music

https://jordansmithcomposer.com

My preferred Pianoteq 6 setting is Steinway D Classical, but I've left older recordings as they were (with a few exceptions for the really old pieces). These are all unedited performances played on a Roland FP-90 or Kawai CA-65. All comments welcome! If you like any particular piece, I'd be delighted to hear it, or, if you have some musical or professional criticism for me, I'd be honored to receive it.

Happy Listening!

Re: Three Albums of Original Classical-Style Music

Hiya Jordan,

Firstly, pretty much 5/5 for almost any marker I can think of. The sonic pleasure derived is pretty stunning, and early on.

I can say very much that I enjoy your music on multiple levels and without too much rambling, just point out that I am mightily impressed on all fronts. So well done - and presentation is to the point and refreshing.

In terms of critique, there's little point - I think you're somewhere near a kind of vanguard when in comes to original piano compositions with the backing of the kind of technical prowess which you posses.

Just keep doing what you do - follow the muse - revisit your early works to keep re-informing yourself of your reasons for pursuing your vision and shine on.

A fine joy to find your posting today, thank you so much.

Hi Jordan,

Very impressive work !

My first impression after a quick overview (but I will come back to it as soon as I get time enough) :
Some of your pieces ( Cloud Hopscotch, Everlasting song ...) make me think that it's the kind of music I could make if I were a real pianist with years of practice, instead of my messy drafts...
