This is another experiment, very short (1:19). I Played it on a Yamaha P80 using the electric piano patch. Uses Lydian Mode. If you want to know more about modes, just ask... Lydian Mode Experiment:

P.S. Typo in the subject line... sheesh... as usual... (corrected by some nice person now)...

Feb 04, 2006 11:30 pm That was great, just sat back and enjoyed it. Love the E piano sound you got going there. And just a nice little verb going to add some air to it, very nice ring out on the notes.
And I fixed the subject line for ya.

Feb 05, 2006 03:41 pm Thanks Noize. Glad you enjoyed it. I might extend it some day. All these experiments and no complete song. Don't know where I'm going yet...

Feb 06, 2006 06:58 pm All my experiments are what led to doing commercials for me. Short but interesting little pieces that never get finished. But they work great for 15 to 60 second commercial spots.
Feb 07, 2006 12:16 pm Television commercials? That's pretty cool. Tell me more!

Feb 07, 2006 03:46 pm I agree very nice and relaxing. I like the progressions, I don't have a clue on modes, but I know what sounds good to my ear. :)

Feb 07, 2006 04:03 pm Thanks Dan! Appreciate the feedback. Lydian in modern times really just means playing a major scale but when you come to scale degree 4, raise it a half step. So in C Major, your scale would be:
C, D, E, F#, G, A, B
That raised scale degree 4 (F# in C major) is the deal...

Feb 07, 2006 07:10 pm Not to much on TV, mostly radio. I've worked for a couple of beer companies as well as a few car companies. Also a couple for a MN smowmobile and ATV company. Also video game, short film and a couple of foreign TV show slots. 2005 was a quiet year though as I turned down several due to lack of time.
Feb 07, 2006 07:14 pm Wow! That's seriously cool! I've done a couple of short video soundtracks for some college students and some animation. Nothing much and nothing paid...

Feb 07, 2006 07:40 pm Honestly the pay can sometimes not be what you would wish for. But from 200 to 2004 word of mouth led me to many good paying jobs doing short and long bits. Mostly short though.
Feb 08, 2006 09:01 pm I'm working on a price to quote someone to make a little DVD presentation. Doing some video, some animation alot of titles and voice overs. Won't pay much but trying to build the portfolio... err... build it with things that are current... They have some music to put with it but it's kind-of not right for it...

Feb 10, 2006 12:18 am Bulding the portfolio is good indeed. That is kinda how it worked for me. I dont really go looking for work, it kind of comes to me. I've been really lucky that way. Work for one guy, he tell's the next and so on. It worked that way for hired studio keyboard work as well. You carve out a niche for yourself, in my case as an experimental sound designer and off it goes. I have been fortunate to play with some really cool people, and some not so cool.
