I am so insanely excited to hear this. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Looks like a big stretch but I'm sure it'll be amazing.

Does anyone have any ideas on the order?
I'd do it so that you play all the songs in one key, for example, A, and then go along your circle of 5ths so that the next key would blend in, and then play all of those songs, and work your way through all the keys.

Oh, the grand circle of 5ths, might work, but I always wondered how do you change from a major to a minor key signature using the circle of 5ths. I'm relatively new to theory, so a minor key signature is still a mystery to me. This sounds like it is going to be awesome if you can figure it all out. Keep us posted on how it works out.

[Pat M]

Holy fuck, Ben. I don't even know what to say. :lol

You're incredible.

[Stuntcheeks]

I can't help on the order, but holy crap, Ben. I really can't wait for this.

My wife & I listened to your 30 min set today. I can't wait.

I also want to send you a couple things to see what you can do w/em. I'd love to have some cello/piano added to a couple originals.

Let me know when you're gonna have time.

Thanks!

Oops... left out Granny. I'll stick that between Hello and Grace.

[justinandimcool]

I think this is the most excited I've been about a single track. Ever. When are you gonna start on it? No rush or anything :p

Well I actually started it tonight, but even though I was wearing headphones, the pounding on the keys was a little too loud for the neigbors to sleep, believe it or not. I'll try again tomorrow.

I played it for the first time about a half hour ago, so it's a bit rough at times. Ok, bedtime.

[jester29]

wow, ben... can't wait to listen to the big 90 minute jam. looks impressive!

[hckyplyr0822]

[dmattfiredancer]

I'd love to hear a little stay or leave.

Someone let me know when this is finished. I have the thirty minute version and have listened to it several times already. I am so excited for all of it!

[Stuntcheeks]

He'll post it in this thread, no doubt. Just check back here.

[dummydork]

His music is astounding. I can't wait to hear this!

[SportsME23]

Oh my God, I have been looking for this kind of stuff forever!! I can't believe I haven't discovered this guy sooner. Ever since I heard Jay Wood's #41, I've been so intrigued with DMB songs on piano.

Just got the chills listening to So Damn Lucky and that isn't a favorite of mine. I am so pumped for this, thanks a lot, Ben!

Do we have an ETA on this thing?

I need to plan a day to get high and listen to this thing in full.

Yeah, I've tried several times but each time I was interrupted early on. I won't be able to do it today because I don't get home until 9pm. I'll try again tomorrow.

[DMBand520]

I just got the 30 min version yesterday and I've been listening to it for the past few hours at work on repeat. Everytime I hear the stone come on again I get excited b/c another half hour of the day is over, lol.

An update: I'm working on puting together a new medley with less than 60 songs so that the songs and the segues can be longer. Plus it'll be on my new keyboard :thumbsup

weighted keys + better sound + several practice runs = better medley

watch my site for updates

[justinandimcool]

That's good news Ben! Can't wait :D

[tdowe99]

I plan on buying a digital piano one day.
Weighted keys are def the way to go. :thumbsup

[GSUdawg521]

That was sweet dude. I downloaded it, turned it on and went to take a nap, but I ended up staying up for a long time enjoying it and trying to figure out each song when it started. But it was great to sleep too and I'll be giving it all a listen another time!

[Pig17]

I just finished listening to it last night and I must say, WELL DONE! It such a relaxing mix that I find myself driving to school everyday listening to it. Thanks for the medley! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
