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 the time I spontaneously compose the piece based on motifs I invent and chord sequences I spontaneously 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 also creating with my Roli Seaboard Rise or my Expressive E Osmose or my Ipad using Geoshred and my Microfreak synthesizer. I sometimes use chance like John Cage, and then rearrange the music as I do with my abstract paintings. I break up the improvisation and edit it in various ways, often altering the original piece greatly using LogicPro11. I call these free improv creations.
