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.
This free improv musical diary is coded by year, month, day, songs on that day eg. 111202 b. interesting over time.Have you performed in front of an audience?No, since I do everything, it is too complicated to set it all up before a performance.
