Piano - 20211122

When I thought of the name of this album, I immediately thought of one of those nights where you try to find a star, but the cloud or the busy lights of the city have made them disappear.
Music for me is a way to access those stars, those dreams that can so easily disappear in the business of life. Music, and especially piano is like a therapeutic approach, a soul searching that makes those forgotten stars shine in the midle of darkness.

Orion is really my absolute favorite star constellation. It is the first star I actually managed to read on a star map. It's very recognizable with it's 3 dot belt, shining Betelgeuse and warrior shaped form.
I decided to name each of these piano compositions according to one of the names of the main stars of the constellations.

These piano pieces are simple recordings, as they reflect my day to day practice and expression of this instrument. You may even hear children playing, crying and everyday life passing by, and that's fine, since the exercise itself of music, in my case, is in essence an accompaniment and expression of that same life.
