About the Music

This original music was recorded in my home studio on a Kawai grand piano or my two keyboards. The music evolves from the first notes I play on the piano. Like a conversation with the piano, I listen and something new is suggested. Sometimes the piece is built on specific chord changes like a jazz musician improvising. But most of time I spontaneously compose the piece based on motifs I invent and chord sequences I create. Each time I attempt to do something a little different from the last time. Like speaking with a friend, nothing is pre-planned but evolves through careful listening. Over time I have developed a specific music vocabulary and grammar that has become my piano signature.

More recently I have been creating with software instruments sometimes using chance like John Cage and then rearranging the music as I do with my abstract paintings.

This free improv musical diary is coded by year, month, day, songs on that day eg. 111202 b. By going to the upper right hand corner, you can listen to well over 380 pieces of the music on Sound Click. I randomize the listings periodically to make listening more interesting over time.
