A music piece - Munbe Vaa

Music has been one of the biggest stabilizing forces in my life. I'm glad that I stumbled into the world of music years ago, and it never ceases to amaze me that combinations of 12 notes can result in so many wonderful songs ...

Here, I picked Munbe Vaa. I had put up a version of it earlier, but I was disappointed with it myself. So I decided to re-record it a little more carefully ( maybe down the line, I'll be disappointed with this version too :-) . The tonality of the instrument used has a great impact on how effectively a song's mood is conveyed. Here I chose an Electric piano, modified its sound, added human-pads, and was pleased with the overall tone, though, in hindsight, I should've used the after-touch more effectively. Maybe next time...:-)

If you would like to listen to it, you can find it here
 The danging wire that shows up now and then is my headphone cable..:-)
