About Me:

- 29 years old.
- Renal physician. Underpaid and overworked.
- Plays the piano whenever time allows, which means rarely. Used to be a good pianist, or so he thinks.
- Happy that he is surrounded by beautiful music on this site, even though he secretly harbors some envy.
- Definitely a Yamaha supporter, although he doesn't mind a well made Steinway.
- Has a thick skin but a weak heart, so feel free to criticize him to a certain extent. If he remains quiet it is a sign of silent myocardial infarction.
- Had been asked to take Haldol to improve his vibrato skills but does not have the patience to wait for extrapyrimidal symptoms to appear, and may worsen his inherent restlessness.
- Failed his music theory exams when young, no skill in harmony but would welcome any questions related to health of the forum members especially if pertains to kidney disease.

Setup:
Piano: Recently his 9 year old P-120 decided to retire. Now has a Yamaha Mo8. No plans on getting a baby grand until he moves in June. It would be a good decor for the house.
Recorder: Tascam Dp -2
Software: Finale - unable to comprehend this monster >_< !
Guitar: Ovation celebrity
Saxophone: Soprano - yamaha YSS 875, Alto - Jupiter

I too am definitely a big Yamaha lover. I love playing the Yamaha pianos!!! As another pianist and I agreed....its like playing with thunder! Their pianos really suites my pianistic techniques and playing. We had a lot of Yamahas in the practice rooms at the conservatory and it was just heaven practicing on them.

Yamaha is definitely my first choice of pianos lol.

I love the lyrical serenity of your music.

Anyway, I'm glad you like my page :)

Thank you very much for welcoming me. This has been a great experience so far, to be able to listen to so much new music. Your music is beautiful, I especially like 'City of Angels'.

Thank you for the welcome, the kind words about my Judgement piece, and the encouragement. It means a lot and I appreciate you taking the time to check out my music. I also took a listen through your playlist and I'm really impressed... your pieces are quite beautiful and your playing is wonderfully expressive. I really enjoyed listening to them all. "Colors of our lives" and "Autumn in New York" I particularly enjoyed. Will be browsing your videos next.
Thanks again,
Don

You must be an amazing physician to be at Johns Hopkins, my sister who is an amazing mind, just got her PhD in clinical psychology and was turned down by Johns Hopkins, so she has taken her residency at CHOPS in Philly, where she is quite happy, but I understand what J.H. means, quite an accomplishment, and you music shows the excellence of your mind as well, glad to meet you here!

Thank you for your comment.
Firts let me tell you that i enjoyed listening to your music very much.
Briliant performance and beautiful themes each of them tells a story,i was touched the most by "If the world became silant"...
I am using Yamaha Clavinova CLP 220- has the best sound for me but very simple technicaly.So i am using DAW- Cubase 3SX and i combine sounds of different VST with acoustic recordings.Just experimenting.......
I also have Finalle but cant use it :(......
I also prefer hearing the real piano playing.
It touches the most.Just like your performance...

effortless and light, and your music has something to say, although its instrumental..

looking forward to hearing all these original works, congrats on your hard work
