Post Meditation on Psalm 23 - first original piece.
Here is a video that I made today. It started as a linear bass exercise a few days ago and morphed into a whole piece. I was going for 'maximum air' on this one, trying to showcase the lush tone of the Stick. The piece is fairly atemporal, and often just two notes at a time. But, I'm happy with the way it turned out and think is fairly listenable.

This is my first fully original stick piece.

Cheers,
Marty

Everything's coming together. When you're not reaching too hard for a new piece is when it comes best.

A great example of the importance of the space between the notes.

Bravo Marty. Most enjoyable and very mellow, loved those decending slides.

Thanks for posting this.

Cheers,
Eric

Really nice, Marty.

I like the way you resolve to the chords, and your use of the three-finger melodic approach makes the lines in both hands really flow with consistent tone and dynamics.

Pieces like this are rarely "finished". There are so many thing you can do — modulations, little embellishments — so if you have the urge to go beyond this "recorded version" follow that urge.

Congratulations on your first original tune!
