Topic: Tango-Phantasmagoria for Piano Four Hands - Harrington

Been a while; I've been busy on new music, etc... Another piece, previously recorded, on the new 2 piano album track, probably my most insane piece since Acid Bach: ‘Tango-Phantasmagoria for Piano Four Hands’ explores manic cluster accompaniments to big tango themes.

I posted my guitar piece on the wrong forum, but the new guitar really sounds great.

My new album will have 12 large scale piano pieces, most of them are up:

Fantastic. Edge-of-the-seat piano playing; a live performance would be electrifying. Some of the rhythm is just incredible.

Thanks! That was fantastic itself to read. That was Sibelius playing, well-articulated MIDI, my playing is poor these days.

Re: Tango-Phantasmagoria for Piano Four Hands - Harrington

Bravo Jeff!
Tango-Phantasmagoria,
A masterpiece again. Immediately reminds me of Blue Strider - This one and Blue blows me away! These two are beautiful to my ears,
like symphonies of colors…..love them.

Was wondering if I could do something with the midifile using other sounds...
You know I like to experiment.

Best,

Stig

Can't wait to hear it. I've been trying to do Tomita/Carlos type versions for years but just am never satisfied.

Thank You Jeff!  I did it !   
Enjoy!

Tango-Phantasmagoria for Piano Four Hands by J Harrington
My version with different instruments


To find images and clips for my orchestrated music I had to retrieve what I could find and what was deep down in the bottom of the tree structure folders in the old one tera large fragmented hard drive

This is, or is not, ”a film” in which very frightening or unnatural things happen, but images and music can make things happen in your brain depending on how you experience this occasion…..

But watching/listening this can give you much more than a good scare, it can also help relieve stress and anxiety, really, a certain degree of comfort nestled within the thrills and chills of your brain……. Depending how your brain react, we experience things so differently (I love this music and making something..thank you so much Jeff!)

Best,

Stig
