Tetris "C" (Shire Style)
Title can't be empty.
Title can't be empty.
Here it is. My own submission for the SoFurry music contest. My favorite song from Tetris has always been the "C" theme from the Game Boy version- which itself was pulled from a song from JS Bach. Sadly, it was never remade for any of the later versions.
There are a couple things to be noted about this entry that make it different from the others. This is a live performance- just me and my two hands. I wanted to get away from the fast classical stately feel of the original and mellow it out a bit, and give it a dose of my own improvisational sound, make it a bit more organic. I think I succeeded on that count.
This is also the result of me ingraining this theme into my head over the course of a month such that my mind knew where to go. I can't read music except by writing each letter name out and plinking it into a piano until I can follow along.
I would like to thank SoFurry for having this contest to force me to try something different- and the result I think is well worth the effort, whether I win or lose. This was a personal contest for me, wanting to put something up there that was not computer generated or program generated.
With that, I hope you enjoy my contest submission. Thank you for listening.
Incidentally- the song lasts 4:44. A total chance shot, but hey, Tetris is all about the 4. :) Perhaps a good omen.

I saw that you were the artist spotlight and it's super cool to find a musician on the spotlight! As a musician myself and a beginning piano player I found listening to this to be very nice and soothing. I read that it was biased off of Bach and then I could hear an invention in there.
Fantastic Job! +1 watch and +1 admirer! ^^
Thankfully, there was the SF artist spotlight, or I would have gone on with my life without listening to the works of a musician of your caliber.
As a lover of piano music, you have yourself a new watcher, and I plan on listening through all your current works.
