Ztar Musings : Myles de Bastion - Romantic Jazz Etude
Ztar Musings : Romantic Jazz Etude from Myles on Vimeo.
Here’s a short piece utilizing my Ztar MIDI controller. I am getting more accustomed to the legato technique. I can use the string triggers but generally find a double handed tapping technique to be a little more expressive and also as you can (almost) see here, this allows me to make use the left hand for sustained chords to accompany a little improvised solo performed with the right.
If you are interested to know, I used the free/donationware MrRay 22 VST Electric Piano and the very powerful Zebra 2
This may not be the most appropiate place to go too depth into the musical theory side but the etude revolves around the circle of fiths in resolved C major harmonies. I’ll be happy to explain in a bit more detail the basic jazz in the comments for this post.
Apologies for the camera shot being a little too high thus you cannot really see what’s going on with my right hand. I’ll make sure to get a better shot next time!
