I like everything but the soppy poem at the top

Well, in the track it was actually just OpenMPT driving Kontakt.

Yes, I acquired an acoustic piano. It’s a twenty-seven year old upright, with a really beautiful sound — a mixture of the ‘bright’ American sound and the mellower German sound. I was given it by the piano tuner at my church, who restored it to as-new quality. Now my house feels like a home — lots of books and a piano.

I thought the piano sounded very real.

You acquired an acoustic / real piano?

Thanks for the feedback, Sam_Zen and Clones! I had fun writing this, partially because it’s the first track I wrote based on playing my new piano.

@Clones: Yeah, I really enjoy writing drum kit and percussive lines. Glad you liked it.

nice peaceful piece Barry. I especially like the sound of the percussion.

Simple and straight, an hommage to love. A very tender song, Barry..
