mattrettig Jan 12, 2013 - 14:54 | Love the "Nocturne" theme! Maybe something from Nick Cave's album Nocturama is next? |

You will notice the noise floor (hiss) getting louder during quiet passages, then going away once there is a crescendo. I personally don't prefer this but it makes sense for ipods and car listening as all of the music gets presented to you at about the same volume. Sorry Bill, this is a soapbox issue for me. The overuse of compression has become a plague. Some compression is absolutely necessary, but the current tendency is to super compress everything. I think you are right, in that car and ipod listening has had a good deal to do with this, but the tendency seems to have gained a momentum of it's own and gotten completely out of hand. It's just bad audio engineering. |
ziakut Aug 08, 2012 - 12:00 | I'm drawn. I'm captivated. This is so beautiful. Love Chopin. |

kvmrdj Jun 06, 2012 - 07:52 | Beautiful music to start the day, thanks Bill :-) |
rashad Mar 03, 2012 - 04:44 | Who's this guy? Needs to change his publicist and maybe his label - kinda nice, but they seriously need to rebrand him maybe, snappy name and a one word title for that k'board piece.
Naw, it'll never catch on... |
