Isolation does wonders for the creative mind...

Post by JustTakeAPebble »

Believe it or not, its true in my case.

I was asked to look after my sister's house and where everything was going wrong, cats and dogs growling and hissing,
broke the toilet, things not working out, atmosphere made me feel down and not being able to talk to my girlfriend on
phone much. I felt isolated, but, I sat and played on my sister's keyboard, messing around with various instruments,
chords and settings, I played just for fun.

What happend? I ended up learning Imagine by John Lennon (the intro and first verse) by ear and improvised some stuff
using some minor chords I worked out, and ended up created what I feel is an improvised piece simular to what Vangelis puts out when he improvises, namely this piece.

I will upload soon as possible, just right now I want to relax, now I'm home and away from my stressful time looking after my sister's house.

Hi Simon

I am with you here. I like to shut myself off and enjoy holidays to the middle of nowhere!
