March 2015 – Day 22

I recorded a few piano logs today – here is the first! More to come throughout the coming week…

March 2015 – Day 21

Spring has come! And there are only ten days left of March! This is a recording from 2012, when I didn’t have a home acoustic piano to play. My Casio keyboard really saved the day during those months when I wanted to keep playing.

March 2015 – Day 20

This piano had no working damper pedal! So I made the best of it. What follows is a very upbeat, staccato improvisation, with many sequences. Sequences can be very satisfying!

March 2015 – Day 19

My second recording from the South Station pianos. I had at least a couple spectators – you can hear them in the background!

March 2015 – Day 18, Part two!

I launched into this jaunty tune. Seemed very appropriate for South Station. There were actually two pianos set up next to each other there, which was unique.

March 2015 – Day 18, Part 1

I’m releasing two recordings today: this first one is tiny – it’s just a clip of a woman I met who had been hanging out at the South Station public piano for multiple days, hours a day. She was trying to amass signatures for a petition to save the pianos. I wonder what became of that?

March 2015 – Day 17

Here is the rest of that improvisation I posted yesterday. This one is much longer. I think there are many cool sounds that emerged…enjoy!

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…
