Tom Mitchell's Music page.

 

This page relates to my long time interest in music. Late in high school in Sylacauga, Alabama I began playing flute in a band with my brother and some friends. We played dance/rock music and my interest was in that area. As I entered college I began to hear some musicians that interested me very much but played music that I did not understand. This music was jazz. I became hooked. At the age of 18 got a tenor saxophone and intended to play woodwinds as a career. Within a couple of years I got an electric piano in order to learn how improvised melodies went with chords.  Over the next few years I became more interested in piano and started to make this my main instrument. I no longer play professionally and for about ten years (my thirties) played almost none as my ex wife and I began a trek to change our lives. These samples are some of those recordings. 

 

All of these were made on a Kurzweil K2600XS keyboard. The song parts were recorded and mixed on the K2600. When a song was OK I then sampled it into the RAM of the K2600. This was then saved to an external hard disk and transferred to a desktop computer where I can create a CD and/or make an MP3 file for the WEB. Remember that these recordings are for personal use only (CYA notice)!! Enjoy and let me know what you think.
