Sounds

kami wa kagami – my contemplative solo piano album from 2024
Here’s some of my scribblings about making the album
improvs vol.iii – my third volume of improvised songs.
“This is the old ‘hit record, doodle, stop’ strategy. Don’t think, just believe the song is already written and you know it note for note and line for line. It works, strangely. But it makes it come from the same surprise place my dreams come out of. I’m blessed with not having a sharp enough mind nor a quick enough wit to just invent something, so the only way I can do this is to let down my guard and let the honesty factory cook something up while I’m not looking. Which makes it therapeutic. Some sort of surreally encoded truth just has to come out. It tells me things about myself even I didn’t know.”
Here’s another little scribbling on my improvisation process
(These sounds are also available on most music-streaming platforms.
And you can download them on bandcamp)
