Anmut Track #14 - The Little Things (out on spotify, iTunes, amazon..... February 28th)

An interpretation of a wonderful piano piece by Fivos Valachis. I love his music, and thought the piece sounded very moody and French, so I added orchestra and accordion to it.

Having grand piano at home is pretty addictive - spending hours and hours playing every day. I would play even more if I had the time :) However, recording improvisations on the grand piano is a tricky and long process. No more fixing wrong notes. Not that I play many of those :) but when a live performance is being recorded in MIDI - it's tempting to fix even a single one. When it's an acoustic recording - alas. Besides, it's not that easy to transcribe acoustic recordings - MIDI is way easier to transcribe. Easier, but not trivial as I don't compose in any notation software but sit in front of an instrument and improvise live, what is sometimes called "an instant composition".  It takes about a week to transcribe a single improvisation into sheet music but it's an absolutely amazing feeling when I get the notes for my own improvisations - they stop being "moments in time that never repeat" and become compositions that can be played over and over again. And not just by myself.

Anyways, here is a new improvisation from me..... based on Arty's motif :) This isn't an acoustic recording but same MIDI recording, produced using one of sampled pianos in Propellerhead Reason - same way as most of my piano pieces... However, now I will make a note sheet for it, so I'll be able to play it again on the acoustic piano.. in the future :)

On another note, I am happy to announce the release of my new piano album "Spirit of Journey". The album is available on iTunes, Amazon, BandCamp, CDBaby, Spotify and other major online stores and streaming services. Your support is very much appreciated, all the earnings from album sales go back into the creation of music: new and better recording equipment, new and better composing tools and sound libraries and so on.
