Today has been a series of experiments on the piano with the music: ‘I dont like Mondays’…
Well, actually it started off with me getting half way through the tune and then forgetting the key signature a few times in exactly the same spot. :/ So I found a bright red pen and vigorously highlighted that bit of the music. Very cathartic. :D
Then after I got the hang of it, I thought I’d try adding to the melody, changing bits and generally just experimenting. And then my hands got cramp.
I’m still debating what kind of style to use- whether to go with the straight up original or a twiddly version. I think I’m rather partial to the twiddly version as it means there’s more room to experiment and deviate from the original tune, which could be useful with my plan of playing it live in case…
a) I miss a note.. or two…
b) The film ends up a certain length and I have to add/subtract time from the song so it all fits smoothly
Anyway, the following video is my twiddly version… although whether It’ll sound the same the next time I play it is another matter :)
