Hi, my name is Derek Andrews, and I've been exploring piano improvisation since the year 2000.  I was initially self taught, but eventually became friends with Ted Jones, a prolific piano improviser from New Zealand. Due to his influence, I have been recording hundreds of piano improvisations since about 2001.

I'm inspired by classical music of all eras, video game music, folk music from all over the world, and pop and rock music of all kinds.

Sometimes I'm drawn to exceedingly straightforward melodies, other times I like to be adventurous and atonal. The best bits are when I'm somewhere between, I think.

Thanks for visiting, I hope you enjoy something here.

All of my music exists by the Grace of God. It is one of the greatest blessings of my life.
