RE: AGAVE - Guitar and Keyboard Improvisation | AsteriskedMusic.Com

This is my first time to see a music post with detailed explanation of how it was made. Interesting...

You mentioned about piano then guitar then another piano. How was that? Do you have an app that combines all of that or three different people were literally playing the instruments?

I came across your post through @bengy who featured it for the Pay It Forward Curation Contest. You too can join the contest.

Actually, I think we met before. I remember you inspired me to put out a binaural piece.

There's just the one keyboard track, here. But basically, what I do is improvise the piano part first (recording it through a direct line), and then record the guitar and/or other instruments over it.

Cool, you remember my previous bugging. 😊

then record the guitar and/or other instruments over it.

I did not realize this is being done by composers. I am imagining it's gonna be very hard to play and record again but still be able to match the previously recorded one. Is it?

I don't know that many other composers are doing this. I started doing this because I found that I could create viable music much more quickly and efficiently by simply recording improvisations directly, rather than writing them down and then performing them.

Matching things up is sometimes a challenge, but it is relatively simple to fix minor errors in the audio mastering process.

I think you have a unique technique there with the re-recording. It gives another level of composition. The recording sounds like from a band but who would have thought that it was just you! 😊

Lol. I always wanted to join a band, but never could find people who were willing to dedicate the time and effort. So I just taught myself to play the other instruments.

That's clever of you! Creative too for finding a solution on your own.
