Didnât hear it, but you know what: my experience is that some of the âbestâ playing I think Iâve done in terms of impression post-rectal or recording⌠when I play it back it turns out to be a bit bland. Really difficult to gauge. Audience experience often totally contradictory too.
Well then, dereâz de obviouz solushon: cuntivate da myztery peniszt in yoself n let it take ovah durin performance. Caus itâll nevah b bland or acamedick dat way.
But pianopera has a good point â your alter ego may be the better choice between the two (I mean, frankly, it seems you can switch between them, so why not do it?).
After all, you donât like the kind of playing which youâre currently doing (and criticising). So switch it up.
I think weâre all so conditioned by teaching expectations, recording norms etc, that a certain âcorrectnessâ creeps up on us. Itâs as if weâve been so encouraged to expect the notes to all be there, pristine and precise, that the musical âstoryâ and âpointâ is almost forgotten amidst the obsession with accuracy.
Much of this has a HO in Jap sound. Awful perf, idk wtf I was thinking to play like that!
Thankfully at least SOME color but this could pass for a rec of my ex playing.
Goddamn, I voiced octaves with just tops? Inner notes in chords, hello?!
Pedal? Hands together?
Where the fuck are the textures, no swathes of pedal in spots.
A few of the lyrical spots are ok.
This is a PISS POOR perf.
Oh wellâŚ
Zero fucks given.
At least my tone isnât too fat.
This isnât a Liszt Sonata though⌠idk what to call this SHIT.
4 months ago - luckily my cock grew since then.
I can listen to this rec in preparation fo any future perf of anything - and remember NOT to play this pussy ever ever again.
Hearing this, goddamn, maybe I should have married my ex and quit da 88 for good, after all.
These niggas are right for what itâs worth. There are things to praise here, but your greatest asset at the piano is your creativity and here you sound like a school boy who wants to be out playing but is forced to sit home reciting bible verses. Itâs ironically only when you don the MP mask that da tru TM appears. Let go, show people what you like in the 78-rpm era (maybe not the hiss), donât hide the TM wackiness, and dare do things in a way which feels instinctive and natural to you.
