Same Whiskey, Different Piano  (Piano Improv)

I am a scientist who started composing music as a hobby in 2013. I have not studied composition and do not approach it analytically, only intuitively. I took piano lessons in my childhood and teens, but spent most of my adult life without playing piano until 2013. So far I have composed mostly for piano, in a polyphonic style that borrows from the Baroque as well as the Romantic spirit. I describe my style as "Baroquemantic". 

Most of my piano pieces are easy to play.  Some are very easy to play.  

All of my pieces rely on 2 or more concurrent melodies (counterpoint).

"There is no beauty in music itself. The beauty is within the listener."
Igor Stravinski
 
Or, as a Portuguese guy named "Carlos Miguel" wrote on YouTube:
"...a boa música é como as boas palavras, depende de quem as diz e de quem as ouve...podem não vir a ser nada e podem ser tudo...ou ambas as situações em simultâneo...genial também é quem ouve...pelo seu modo de ouvir... e não só quem  compõe...pelo seu modo de compor...Carlos Miguel"

Is Time a relative realm, or does it exist as unique, static & monolithic, and the things and beings pass in an illusory manner while it does not change at all ?
Who can say that time exists in any way other than intangible ? If this exists, can it be judging or helping in any other way than philosophically ....................................................
real music half composed with mouse, keyboard, mind and heart (No generative AI involved) and half played with my hands, in the case of keyboards and some synths.

Songs from the edge of somewhere. Bluesy, soulful rock with roots in folk and blues, shaped by years of traveling and chasing sound.

My debut album Strange Part of the Country earned ★★★★ from Q Magazine, a Blues Matters cover feature, and reached #3 on the U.S. Alternative Radio Chart, with airplay on BBC Radio 2, WWOZ New Orleans, and KROQ Los Angeles. Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), Marc Ribot, and Danny Thompson have all been part of the journey.

I’m now finishing a new album with Marc Ribot, Tchad Blake, and Danny Thompson — music that digs deep, raw and real.

All music, songs, lyrics and artwork are original, unless noted. No AI used, I have spent a lifetime learning.
Collaborations welcome.
 I advise playing on a good Hi-Fi or at least good headphones, otherwise you will miss all the lower frequencies and  only hear half of the music : )

Thank you for visiting my SC page!
I have been playing in rock bands for more than 50 years having had many exciting gigs.
Playing in the band in front of an audience is an incredible joy especially playing my own original songs.
About ten years ago, I was having problems with my hearing due to playing too many gigs, so I decided to give my ears a rest and focus on making demos at home.
DAW software has made remarkable advances, and now it's easy to overdub and finish a song if you can play  instruments. 
In addition to playing in a band, I discovered the joy of completing songs with overdub on my own.While I was taking a break from my band activities, original songs were piling up on my hard drive one after another.
I wondered if there was any way to get more people to listen to my songs? 
At that time, I happened to learn about a platform called SoundCloud. Musicians from all over the world participated and uploaded their songs there. I also set up my own page on SoundCloud and used it as a place to release my original songs.
Since I started this page, quite a few listeners have come and given me a lot of positive comments. Much more than I expected! I am very happy to contact many excellent musicians through SC. 
Just when I thought I had resumed my band activities, the coronavirus pandemic began. Many musicians lost their place to work and were at a loss.
The pandemic has finally ended, and now Japan's venues have regained their former vitality.
Now I enjoy having gigs and making one-man band songs simultaneously.

Music is my passion there's nothing else to say, I mainly repost Jazz and Blues Tracks sometime Pop, I am not particularly interested in House Techno Hip Pop,etc.
