This reminds me of a film i have seen where this man starts by smashing the piano with his hands, the house gests are horrified, he then  stops and plays his own composition.Am sure you have seen this movie its about this man who lies about his identity to the authorities by pretending that he is married to this women inorder to gain citizinship, great film a romantic comedy.

i also remember braking grandmothers lamp.

it was sitting on the top of the piano.....it must of moved like a half of meter those 30 minutes.
the rest of the stuff on the top of the piano had the same destiny.

in the end people stoped putting things on the piano because it would just end on the floor ;D

Ah, yes. Green card with Gerard Depardieu. Nice movie.

About "forkortet"... What to say? I will never, no matter how much i listen to simular modern stuff , understand the meaning of it. But if some like it, good for them.

i played only with my right hand the opening lines for mary had a little lamb
and deliberately messed up/ looked really nervous & scared... i heard a parent say "isn't he a little old for this song? " ::)
...then I started my real song lol

hmm... maybe i'll do that for my high school's talent show this year, my senior year...

well........actually i never wrote it down. it is in my head

it must be hard to write down a piece that is as messy as that.
maybee i can use a computer program to take it down.

i do a lot of "improvisation?". and suddenly one day i was playing on the piano it started coming up funny and wierd sounds.......and then i played it for people.

maybee i should become a composer then :)................i have comed up with lots of interesting and wierd stuff on the piano (when i improvize)

i have made lot of stuff that is ment to be humoristic, and i have that type of reputation.
I bet i could come up with tapes that would make people laugh for hours.
(or be scared for hours)

i remember how i destroyed revolutionary etude on purpose.....to make it funny.....
(lots of mad people ;D)

once i played revolutionary etude with holding the pedal in all the time and pretend like nothing.......reaction: :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

I absolutely love it.   ;D

Please, please post more.   8)

If you do write it down, it's something I'd consider playing in public.   ;)   Great way to get exposure as a composer. 

Just the stuff I like to listen to when winding down from a hecktic day.  Very relaxing (to me at least).

Rolling on the floor!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a similar comment: Prokoview on a combination PCP and acid!

But strangely, I enjoyed it because it was so short. I have no idea if the notes are right or not. How could you tell unless you had the score? I suppose this is too much for tamer human beings, but this EXACTLY describes my mood when I want heavy weapons on my hood and tail to blast the next person who does something stupid in traffic.

I think think think the title should have been: "Go ahead, make my day!"

i originally recorded this song on a movie.
the movies are the funniest.....you can see me acting wierd on the piano just to make people laugh(im not a clown by the way).

my next record, that im planning to put out on this site, is going to be 10 times as crazy.
your head will fall off........like the rest of the stuff on the top of my piano ;D ;D

I actually thought that was the best composition from that genre I had ever heard. I just assumed it was a published piece by a composer from the late 60's.

Fantasitc job! Write it down and sell it to us, will ya'? Please????

It has a little melodic development that could be used, but it's mostly about rhythm at the moment.

It's a very early prototype of a composition. I'd work on it more.

ill start playing drums ;D

actually i play mostly pieces from the romantic period.
and would like to compose something that is more like classic....than modern.
(but this song was just a test or a project)....and it seems to work and people like it
(it is mostly ment to be humoristic :))
