Wrote this piece some years ago when I was 17 in a night before I had a class test. I just had my first e-piano and could play at night. So I procrastinated with learning, didn't sleep and consequently totally failed at the exam. But well, there's now a piano piece instead..

Slightly rearranged over time and now renamed.
Original title: "Spross falscher Prioritätensetzung" / "Ich möchte lieber nicht"
The picture was taken at David Klavins Pianomanufaktur in Balingen, Germany.

hi! this is alice & her piano. 

here you'll find music inspired by compassion - and its absence.


///

compassion hurts. when you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. and you cannot turn away.
your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. you must either learn to carry the universe or be crushed by it. you must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors. -andrew boyd
