Classical Improvisation: Fantasy in F sharp minor.  Improvised on March 8th, 2014 by Brad Stark. 

Improvisation recorded and improvised on a Yamaha Grand Piano. 

My piano improvisations range in style from classical to early 20th century, to more contemporary harmonic styles.

In developing my improvisations I usually begin by creating a short intro section of music which captures my interest and I wish to develop further. This usually becomes the basis for the improvisation but I use different techniques to develop my improvisations.

Some of my classical piano influences include Chopin, Ravel, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Bach, and others.

INTRODUCTION:
I'm an Awards-winning Composer & Music Producer with lots of depth and experience in several musical genres, but also for visual and music symbolism.
Recently, I'm focusing on Music for Licensing. Both individual work and producing other artists with the same aims.
I'm also offering my services for pro music productions for media, musicians and singers.

For projects, my music can be focused on the single emotions and effective cues, to greatly enhance moods, or more complex and closer communication to bring extra plot dimensions to the script and screenplay, on a highly professional intepretation & correlation level.

The thing I value the very most in music is the emotions it touches, both my own and for listeners.
It could be technically and theoretically advanced, but not always necessarily.

Some of my personal tracks here are very complex and not suitable as cues, more for showcasing my depth, composing level & musical versatility.

Recently, I've focused a lot on improved mixing & mastering skills quite a bit, and I also consider re-mastering most of my existing tracks. 
I use professional plugins & software, but one can always learn more.

Thanks a ton so far, and stay tuned for new versions & new tracks, reaching the next level!


MORE ON MY MUSIC BACKGROUND:
With 7 years of full-time post-college music education, and more than 15 years of teaching music subjects, I've begun to focus a lot more on my own music again in recent years.
Still improving my production skills towards Music Production, but I now feel ready to start marketing myself and my services, whether it's for moving image and other  medias, freelance musician for track projects, or editing and mixing your own tracks.

So let me know if you think you got some task for me to work on. Either as a hired talent, or for mutually fulfilling self-promotions of pro quality.


ON WHAT MAKES ME STAND OUT:
I think the attention to details is of highest importance, be it details in phrasing, melodies, chord changes, sound and mixing etc.
The diverse and extensive music background and close studies of film & game genres all certainly help for these things. But there's more:

Another aspect is that I often design my own music for deeper analyze challenges, for anybody who gives it a try.
Therefore, my most personal tracks are heavy on both traditional music symbolism, but some also including sublime or hidden symbolism. 
It's a highly personal way to add depth, multi-layered concepts, mystery and challenges while listening/analyzing.
In specific tracks, I avoid spelling out any sublime references, because I'd rather invite you to have all kinds of personal & individual thoughts on my creations.

Before I picked up composing again, I spend most of my spare time with personal research on numerous subjects, from different perspectives & media for a wider picture.
This too helps me in my highly personal composing style - Metaphors, allegories, and to reference well-known and less known knowledge & media alike.


ON EXCHANGING TRACK COMMENTS: 

For OLD FRIENDS: 
Give me a holler if you wish for some new in-depth feedback of your own material. (I'd wish that you will take a close listen to another track of mine in return, giving me your honest thoughts too.)

for ANY LISTENER: 
Put a REAL listening comment on my track, and I'll prioritize giving a real comment back on yours. 
If I feel you're the kind that welcome critical ears mentions with close attention listening, then I'm usually game for offering some in-depth feedback.
Personally, I welcome all kinds of nitpicking and remarks on my own tracks, but I'm aware that not everybody appreciate that on  theirs,
