My piano piece 'getting to know each other' is out as part of the new solo piano compilation 'piano1'

The piece is a dialogue between different piano elements and deals with both the euphoric and confusing awkwardness of getting to know a new person. It starts with a call n response between a very simple riff played on a grand piano and a melody answering both in pitch and completely out of tune. It’s been fun playing a very expensive newly tuned grand piano and also layering 5 upright pianos each in its own very bad shape. The riff transitions into an ostinato and another piano enters and tries to learn that ostinato - sines played with an EBow on the piano strings flow on top

Looking back I guess I treated the piano more like a guitar and tried to mess a little with this clean and precise sounding instrument

The whole piano1 compilation will be out on section1 Nov 22 featuring new original compositions by Mark William Lewis, Kelly Moran, Ichiko Aoba and more
