Piano Log 2015-3-12 Part 2

March 2015 – Day 16

This one is from earlier on last Thursday. I thought that I would try to shake things up by trying to intersperse unexpected and odd chords with my more habitual flow of improvisation. You’ll hear more things than usual that could sound like mistakes, but I try to run with them and see where they lead. This is really the first of a two-part recording. I stopped recording, then decided I wanted to continue, so started again where I left off. You’ll hear the second part tomorrow.

Also, I have now officially made it halfway through this one-recording-per-day project for March! Woohoo!

March 2015 – Day 15

My last recording of the night on Thursday. I had tried some improvisations earlier with a relatively large concentration of random chance chords and sonorities (you’ll hear these ones soon). In this last one, I gravitated to one lovely, dependable key: the fabulous F major! Enjoy…

March 2015 – Day 13

This is one of 17 recordings I made on October 5, 2013. As you have heard previously on this podcast, I started at Old North Church right after tower bell ringing practice. I then made my way down the greenway, over to Quincy Market and the old State House, back by Government Center, by this park, then over to the Chinatown gate. Quite a long tour!

I liked this piano because I thought it sounded a lot like a hammer dulcimer.
