launchpad67a Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Sweet...Loved it! If you don't mind I'm going to use your tracks to make a new version. With some Sitar, Drums, Bass and Auto Harp. Mabey a little Native American Flute also. All set in 'half time'. Should be very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drumnut Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Listening right now, fantastic!!! You definately have a talent for tickling the ivorys.http://www.websmileys.com/sm/music/2.gif Any chance you can turn this into a midi file? http://www.therushforum.net/html/emoticons/bekloppt.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 That is bloody awesome. I think, out of all instruments, the piano can be one of the most versatile of solo instruments and you may have just proved it. Maybe you could go round all the Rush wwebsites and record piano versions of the songs to replace all those incredibly annoying midi versions that drive me up the wall - especially when they intrude on the proper version of the song that I've got playing annyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostGirl Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 TMR, that is PHENOMENAL! Thank you so much for sharing. I play piano too...I'd love to have the sheet music. http://www.therushforum.net/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: Electronic Keyboard or real piano? I think keyboard? It's a real piano. The giveaway is the bridge section where I perform the "key-bounce" muting method called Depuche D'Telle. That something I haven't been able to find any decent reproductions of. I have some really good piano samples too, though... http://www.therushforum.net/html/emoticons/trink39.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmrpro Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 If I were given the opportunity to do a Piano Tribute To Rush, what songs would you guys suggest I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushGuru Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 A Farewell to Kings would sound really good. So would Xanadu. Maybe The Twilight Zone. Actually anything off Farewell to kings would sound really cool. Cygnus might be kind of hard though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I haven't written it out for piano. I rarely chart the parts for anything that I play on my recordings. I like to get my parts under my fingers and really know them before I record or perform them. Although I'm a decent reader, I am a much better performer when I know where I'm going by memory. I did chart the parts for 1st & 2nd violin and viola for this song for ESR. That was because I only played cello & bass on that album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool idea! http://www.therushforum.net/html/emoticons/1022.gif Can I borrow that one? Actually, if I did get the opportunity to do a piano tribute, I think I would do it predominantly with piano only. Perhaps a couple of four handed performances, and maybe some simple synth or string pads to support soft parts, if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get back to you with a few suggestions. http://www.therushforum.net/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hmm, piano only Rush arrangemnts. Off the top of my head the ones I think could work are: Tears The Sphere Different Strings Losing It Second Nature Mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
