Here is the release! Any support and shares are as always appreciated (and thank you to anyone who already shared the previous post.)

Over the last two years, I have been sharing videos of impromptu piano improvisations, played while wearing hearing protection due to hyperacusis - recorded wherever a piano happened to be available.

Friends’ homes, relatives’ houses, airports - across the UK, Hong Kong, Iceland, Hungary...Without a piano of my own, these moments had to be taken as they came, often quickly, without preparation, and without the possibility of return.

Some who saw these pieces as videos encouraged me to release the audio. Since I had never released anything in this spontaneous form before, it felt like an interesting thing to try. This collection follows that idea: letting the recordings stand, with all their fragility and environmental imperfections intact.

The individual captures remain largely unedited, but have been selected for their shared themes and characteristics from a larger group and brought into a continuous 53-minute experience. In listening back, I found threads running through these moments, shaping them into a kind of eccentric narrative.

Moment’s Notice is, in that sense, both a limitation and a method.

There are be plans to perhaps "properly" record more composed piano pieces in the future - but for now, this is offered as a free / pay-what-you-want download. :-)

The flower plant hated my improvising so much that it flew off the piano. 🤣

The listening party for my new album 'Habitations' is this Wednesday, the 28th, at 8 pm (CET) -

It’d be a real encouragement if any Mastodon friends joined. And since you all seem busier than I am, sharing sooner rather than later felt wise 😅

Ratcheted waves fed into my sampler, manipulating a drum sample
Pulsar synthesis beginnings jam - super basic but lots to explore here
Old grainy one with some simple generative stuff in the background

(this is an audio post btw, they seem to be broken for a lot of mobile users right now so if you're just seeing the text then sorry, it's a known bug)

I have dropped a few new tracks this weekend which are available as a digi download or limited 8" vinyl.
