- Chucki Ho presents -- Smells Like Teen Spirit, as performed by Tori Amos.
-
- This version of Nirvana's ode to teenage wasteland's finest hour, is probably
- more poignant and heart-felt than the original. I really like the original,
- but Tori Amos has brought it into a different light, with her sombre
- phrasing and sparse piano.
-
- This sequence has separate tracks for vocal, piano [left hand], and piano
- [right hand]. I am amazed at Tori's terrific piano, as many of my piano
- playing friends had admitted. The patches are arranged for general midi;
- make sure you've got a piano patch that will respond to sustain.
-
- I actually only heard Tori's rendition on the radio a couple of times; I saw
- a transcription of her work in Keyboard magazine. I sequenced the thikng to
- hear it once again. [I believe it's only available on one of her CD singles.]
- My feeble sequencing will not hold a candle to true grit playing; however, I
- did try to make it as expressive as possible. [Maybe someone can suggest to
- Bob Mace (he post up a lot of midi piano works) to do a sequence.]
