First try to work with synthetic orchestra
Posted by Alex Franke | Filed under new albums
At very first let me wish you all a happy and healthy new year 2010!
Today my new album “First Sounds Of The Decade” found it’s way to the WWW. With this album I tried to create something more varied but also shorter. The songs have different feelings. Some songs do contain of more than just a piano audio track. I wanted to fill the sound with drums and other synthetic instruments. But fans of the classical piano play will not be disappointed: There are solo piano tracks, too. Furthermore I added a kind of project: The last track (”Concerto Minimale”) is, as the name already tells, a short orchestra and piano song beginning with strings and co. and leading to a piano part following the introduced theme. One day I had the idea of creating a orchestral sound by just using a usually known synthesizer. Never the less all tracks are improvised: The basic orchestra melody was an improvisation. All instruments which accompany this basic track are also improvised but of course adapted to it. Because I am quite involved, I’d like to get some feedback about it to find out whether this idea is something to carry on or better not ;).
All in all I hope you simply enjoy listening which is my only aim to reach. So have a good time and don’t forget to tell what’s your opinion!

From The Heart - the next 13 songs
Posted by Alex Franke | Filed under new albums
Here is my very new album ‘From The Heart’, ready for downloading now! This new work comes with two songs consisting not just of piano (first and last song). Nevertheless they are all improvised and played without preparation. Listeners who already have my previous albums will discover that the songs here are bit shorter. That’s why some people told me some song endings would be bit too long. For all the people who wrote and write recensions I want to tell THANK YOU, because for a musician, especially when we are talking about improvisations, its essential to get a feedback wether it is worth to continue or not. I hope you do also like these 13 songs and maybe you have some time to write a review!!! Thanks to all listening my music!
