Standing Upright

I recently acquired some new piano sounds. Again. Finally I've found an upright piano that sounds fairly authentic, although it still is missing the sheer power of having this moving, heavy instrument shaking at your commands.
So this is the first recording I did with this. Unfortunately, in the mixdown process, there were some glitches on sample, so there are parts where the strings sound muted, as if I had put a piece of paper in between them. It's grown on me. This isn't what I played when I recorded it, but it came out as something a little different, and I like it.
I may go back and remix some older piano pieces using this piano instead. I'm much more inclined towards an upright piano than a big grand piano. Grands are too pretty, they also don't respond to the pedalling the way I'd like them to.
There are some lovely moments in this. There are some not-so-lovely moments too.
