For those who enjoy classical-style piano, I just wrote and recorded a new song this evening on my keyboard. Here's the link:

Minuet in D Minor (mp3 download - 1.8mb)

Be warned: it gets much louder in the middle of the song! This is an actual songwriting effort on my part; usually I just record improv piano. Took a bunch of tries to get a recording I liked. What do you think? Should I bother writing it down on staff paper?

I didn't like it. NOT. That was beautiful, you talented so and so. Seriously...write it down, write it down.

hey man, that was nice.
i envy musicians, you can made images "inside" of our heads, i think that is SO cool.

Man that sucked!!!! Kidding!!! Great! Very nice. What Zep said. :}

That song is very sexy! Great composing and perfomance skills! >:D

Omfg. You roxx0rz my soxx0rz! -screams like a crazed fan girl-

beutiful

Hm... to be absolutely blunt and honest...

...it was awesome. I envy composers. It was beautiful, and frankly, I'm kind of speechless at the moment.

Yes, write it down on staff paper, and I hope you get somewhere with it.

Zack, I absolutely LOVE the piano.. especially the classical style. This is awesome! I've heard some of your stuff before and I'm such a fan. You play beautifully. And yes, I agree, get it written down!

Amen to all of the above. It's lovely.. write it down.

heh way cool Zach I didnt know you played any instruments! Passing tones are fun eh? ;) great work im interested in hearing more of your music

If you wrote this down, I'd definitely play it. It's beautiful, I wish I could write music on the piano like you.

You absolutely should write that down, it's wonderful. Very very good!

I swear. One of these days... BLIP! And with a power pellet in your back, I will become even more awesome. Megaman style.

Hey! Everyone who liked this song should go to his website and have the honor of listening to his other stuff... my favorite right now is the Future Nostalgia because I enjoy instrumental techno-y music such as this. His other stuff is great, too. Go Zack!

Wow, thanks! Yeah, I'll definitely make sure I transcribe that song over the next few days then. :D

Been there, done that, Die ;-)

I'm a stalker.

Holy Cow Man that is Brilliant!!! You have got some amazing talent Zack!! Your song is so calming, it actually brought tears to my eyes!! ^_^
And i agree you should definitely write it down!! Thanks for sharing!!!

The beginning reminds me of Chopin, Opus 28 No.4. I'm sure you've heard it (as well most everyone). Or maybe a darker version of Ave Maria, haha. The middle/end is a bit more lively i.e. I like the beginning more. Either way, this is a great composition and you're a good musician. Your electronica stuff rocks too, you should share more of that with us or me at least.

I'm not easily impressed. That was IMPRESSIVE. It stirred my emotions, which is one of the reasons I love good music. We should kill you for being able to do more than one thing so well.

I'm with DeadlyBlondeArcher on this one. Unless you are a robot sent from the future. Then we should feed you gasoline and watch you randomly kill things. Unless, of course, you were sent back to stop my scheme. In which case, off with your robot head.

what alex said. :}

damn I didn't know you can do that, Zack! I might have to marry you now, can you cook too?
tell me how you downloaded that and stuff, so I can play for you too! and YES, you should definitely WRITE THAT DOWN

Mmm, gorgeous and very gentle quality. Reminds me a lot of Elephant, a really disturbing movie that will totally change your attitude towards Moonlight Sonata.

i absolutely adore this song. i'm usually not big on piano pieces, but this is just fantastic. i would love to hear some of your other works

That was great. <:)
