Monday Morning at the Piano

Hey it’s Brian.  This is probably going to seem like a weird response to Christine Coke’s post “Saturday night part 1.”  but that post really made me want to write music.  i agree w/ kait, “last week’s alcohol” is a great title, and there was something about the techno idea that was interesting to me.  so imagine all of this pretty music w/ a techno beat behind it.  like a Death Cab song.

so yea, I just kind of sat down at my piano for the past hour and played, and i like some of it, and some of it is complete crap.  usually i would then give it a couple days, then go back and listen to it and pick out the melodies that aren’t crap and write them down.  but, in case anyone out there is looking for some piano music to listen to, here they all are.  the first track and the last track are the best i think, i have a nice simple treatment of what i think is the verse material in the first track, and then i found my chorus in the last track, and the prechorus in the last like 2 minutes while looking for a bridge.

i don’t know why this makes sense to me tone-wise.  i know it’s really sad music, but i want to put a beat, and lyrics and scenes that are telling this story overtop of it

also i kind of mumble a lot in the second one.  sorry bout that.
