Sorry it's been a minute posting anything new here, I've just been enjoying my Summer. I've just started going live on TikTok while recording these episodes so you can now see the entire process and just hang out with me over there! https://www.tiktok.com/@elijahpiano
A Little Time Off
2024/07/27 | 33 mins.
Fresh off a couple of weeks away from my piano, spending time with my family in Greece, I'm feeling refreshed and a little extra creative today. Just a quick one but a few new ideas in there for sure.
New Synth!

So I went out and bought a Novation Summit to add another layer to some of these organic piano sounds. I've had it about a week now and I'm still trying to find how to best fit it into the workflow the keys are much lighter than I'm used to as well. It will take some time but I'll figure this thing out. So here's the first of many episodes using this beauty.
Back to normal..ish

A little jam from last night. There are some interesting rhythms in a few of these pieces that only can really happen if don't think too much about what I'm playing as it's happening.

Monster Planet and Me
2024/06/09 | 20 mins.
Had the pleasure of jamming for a couple of hours with Monster Planet the other day. It's so much fun to play off of other people's energy! I've always told myself that I can't play nice with others; but really the only way to fix this is to get outside of your comfort zone and work on those things that you've been telling yourself for so long you can't do.
This podcast started in the Summer of '22 really as a way to encourage me to play through my old compositions and keep me sharp for when I perform live.
The focus of these shows has sort of shifted as I started to get feedback and seeing that people are actually listening to them and connecting with them. Now I'm taking my time a little more with each episode and focusing more on the quality of the content in hopes that we can grow something special here.
If you enjoy Piano + Sounds as much as I do in creating them, please consider supporting me in this endeavor!
