about

First of all: please note that this is NOT electronic music, neither is it ambient of any kind, it's just me improvising on a piano, partly in a slightly "jazzy" way. *

Filing through my archives this morning (looking for something completely different...) I stumbled upon this recording of a piano improvisation which I played some day in 2009 - and then had completely forgotten about.

It's actually one improvisations of (I guess) hundreds that I have played since when I've started to record may own music back in 1992; however, as I'm not at all an accomplished piano player, I rarely ever recorded these noodlings, nor did they often find their way on any of my albums.

Then again, on listening to this recording today, I actually thought it's quite listenable and definitely one of my better improvisations - so here we go...

The bigger part of it now is improvised, just on the spur of the moment, near the end however, as was my habit then, I closed my noodlings with the only "proper" piano composition I have written so far, a fairly simple (but hopefully still quite nice) little ditty called "Romantic Fool". Here I played it rather fast and almost didn't mess it up...

Plese note that this is (basically) a FREE giveaway - meaning You can just type in zero in the "name your price" field. You are cordially invited to do that!

* ...OK, so it IS actually a (humble) sample based electronic piano (my wife's one, to be specific...), but sounding fairly realistic, and with a real piano keyboard and pedals.
My wife also used to own a wonderful Yamaha baby grand piano on which I used to play a lot, however we had to sell it when we moved to a smaller appartment a few years ago.

This release is a pleasure in which to reside. No matter the length of your stay you will find comfort and rest while simultaneously being energized. Definitely worth a listen or to put on endless loop. String Theory sounds like Carolina Eycke on the theremin. Very nice. Other favorite tracks include Exogenesis and Morning Mist. 69dragynz
