the piano is a monster.

Some not-very-professional-sounding recordings of me playing the piano. I hope to soon acquire a better microphone, which will make these much nicer to listen to. I didn't get around to doing Pavane pour une infante défunte -- sorry, spican!

Maurice Ravel - Une barque sur l'océan

Just the first bit of this fiendishly difficult piece. It's *starting* to sound right, but I have a long way to go.

Maurice Ravel - Forlane

I haven't quite got it together on this one yet, so I didn't want to subject myself to the stress of trying to capture a perfect take. So I just recorded myself messing around with a couple of the themes. I skip over a big part and then start to go back to it, and then quickly mess it up. :)

Radiohead - Like Spinning Plates

I *can* sing along with this, but I happened to have laryngitis the day I was recording. D'oh. The arrangement comes from littlerowboat.net.

Radiohead - Paranoid Android

This is my own arrangement, which I haven't transcribed yet. There are points where you can hear me whispering to myself, which I didn't think the mic would pick up. D'oh again.

Radiohead - Pyramid Song

Just a short demonstration of the difference between the first and second entrances of the "string accompaniment" (i.e., my right pinky finger) in my arrangement.
