Tell us something about your track Pine!
This little improvised piece is inspired by my walks in the nearby forest where I live. I like the meditative feeling I get when walking and this piece tries to capture that feeling a bit.
I usually try to find melodies and harmonies wo work with in my pieces. This is different, there is no real melody and very little harmonic progression. More like being in a musical state.
I prepared the piano with a worn out t-shirt attached to a bamboo stick with drawing pins. sometimes the hammers hit the drawing pins and that create some interesting resonances.
Thank you for this Richard!
