Name: Strange and Unknown (a piano improvisation) by If Pianos Could
Duration: 6 min 12 s
Description: An improvised piano composition without any specific theme. I recorded this with the front of the piano open (removed the part where the music goes) and placed the mic on the top, atop a basket, giving a different sound profile than usual. Feedback is always welcome!

Please join Martin for part two of a three part series investigating the making of his debut solo 1994 album, “In The House Of Stone And Light’’.  This Radio OwlsNest series special will look deeply into the conception, writing and recording of this much loved album and award winning single.  Martin takes us on a journey that unearths many unknown facts and touches upon every aspect of “House’s” creation.  From a personal spiritual restoration to the musical technical achievements, no stone is left unturned.

This is the story of how a celebrated album and song came to be

If Pianos Could creates music centered around an acoustic piano which is not bound to any genre (although jazz, classical, and new age are influences). Much of the music is improvised on the spot, leading to a feeling of freedom and being in the moment. Influences include classical music (Debussy), new age, jazz (David Benoit), and others such as Bruce Hornsby and Tori Amos.
