Sounds from Silence

I like to think I am not just a keyboard player, but I am also an Entertainer. So it's not just a question of sitting down and playing music.

This is a performance I did a few times with my PSR S900. It takes a lot of setting up with the voices in registrations. The timing is important. If you have a reasonable audience, ie Senior Citizens 50+ then the time can be stretched out to 15 minutes with playing the various sounds and the explanations. People who have a low listening time then it is reduced to about 7 to 8 minutes. The last piece is the song "The Sound Of Music".

Read my notes below explaining how I go about this narrative .. with my keyboard set up so I can make the appropriate sounds at the right places.

I'm sure you get the idea behind it all!

I just thought I would add .. it is the imagination of the person who is going to present the performance to set up the sounds. With effort some of the sounds can be put onto multipads, they can be pre-recorded but playing the sounds live with the commentary gives a wider scope for volume control and length of time for things.
