Live Twitch Performances

A collection of works in which mostly I play the piano. Most works are mine, a few are others playing my piano works, some are classical tunes, others "influenced" by many things. Mostly live performances, some works have some electronics, some are "pure" acoustic. I love playing the piano, and sincerely hope you find some joy listening. Thanks for your time and focus.


Piano Music

These are various chamber works I've created over the years.

2022 11 04 "Gravity" v3a
This is the same single LIVE take as before but with a bit of added flesh to blend it all in. NO PITCH CORRECTION, or auto-tune on this. I'm liking it more and more this way. Still a rough mix, but its coming together.

Gravity v3a

Here lie the sounds as they develop for you. with version numbers…feel free to download and comment ON the tracks if you wish.

Dance-off "BIG BAD WOLF" V1

Shhh PianoChopinPrelDflatMaj [20230319]

Shhh Piano1 [20230319] 1

This is an improvisation on the piano over a stretched-out midi sequence I have playing. As the sequence slowly changes, it influences where the piano improv goes. Sometimes I fight the direction, other times I flow along with it, creating moments of musical drama. Towards the end, the sequence stops, leaving the piano finally free to go in its own direction...like some relationships. LOVE DOING THESE. Live performance on Twitch.

Live performance where I play with a simple cell, as it changes modes due to a drone underneath (a bowed acoustic bass guitar I recorded right before, and played on top of it).

This is a MIDI realization of v2.4 of the work for clarinet and piano commissioned by Karen Heninger and Dan Loschen of the Rivers Music School in MA. Score and parts are soon available publicly via www.lulu.com. Please message me via SC or email if you are interested in performing any of these works. The premiere was April 2016 (and they didn't secretly murder me in my sleep!).

The latest revision has some updates to the Clarinet dynamics, and some more detail to the piano part. The track is downloadable for the folks who are studying it, and working on the premiere.

"Changed Games" V2.4 For Clarinet And Piano 2016

A dream I had, this is a very very rough representation of the sounds I heard, and the way it looked. There is a YouTube Vid of this as well you can see, just click on the "Track Video" button above this text, and it will take you to YouTube...but please come back after!

 Score will be available soon on Lulu soon

Incision

Alexander Skriabine's amazing and exhausting masterpiece "Vers la Flamme" Op.72 (towards the flame, into the flame). Starts out with a very quiet and distant theme which is unsettled, and is constantly shifting, never quite sure of its final resolution. His unique tonality gives this work a forward motion, even though its extremely placid in the beginning. As the work begins to have motion and flow, he creates a rippling effect with the Right hand playing in an uneven 9 (8th notes) while the left hand is doing an uneven 5 (quarter notes). The piece gains energy and focus as it begins to literally "tremble" and it continues all the way to the end in a giant climactic cadence that burns up (and the poor pianist is probably nearing muscle-failure at this point). Live performance of mine in Hungary years ago.

Skriabin: Vers La Flamme, Op. 72 (live performance)

from a live concert: Bach's Baroque Blender II 
(acoustic and electronic mash-ups of Bach 2-Part Inventions.
Alphonse Izzo is playing the guitar at the middle-end.

(terrible audio quality warning, SORRY!)

In this work, I took the 10th invention ("Olde Tuun/PinballMIX..1"), turned it upside-down, re-keyed it, and re-composed it for guitar and piano adding substantial connective-tissue between each Bach note, and then had a second section in which the 2 instruments "pinball" through their parts to the end. The result was a work that changed faces radically- yet still felt as if it came from the same genetic "father". It can be performed with any other instrument and piano. 

This is here purely as an audio example to accompany the score for those interested in performing this work.
The score will be available soon at www.lulu.com

OldeTuunPINBALLmix (live)

translates roughly from Haungarian to “Rattling Rock in a Beer Mug” or "Pebble Playing in a Pot". Written in 1978.
I first heard this beautiful piece one night at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, Hungary. My teacher Szokolay Balázs was performing it, and I was turning pages. I instantly knew I had to play it. Its a minimalist work that uses a pure and simple additive and subtractive process with retrogrades and inversions. The harmonic content is limited to six pitches (technically 5, becuase both hands play a C#), three notes per hand, and the score is a bit like reading graph paper. 

Its wonderfully fun and requires a lot of concentration to play. It is simple, quite beautiful, and trance inducing. This recording is live at a New Haven Worx concert (now known as “SOUNDunderGROUND”), at the Neighborhood Music School’s Recital Hall in New Haven, CT. Please let me know what you think, and thanks for stopping by!

Created at the request of Kenneth Steen and Gene Gort for their unique and wonderful online "What IF" exhibit.

60 composers, 60 videographers, one minute work each randomized...fun time.
I spent many hours there, never got bored. Ken asked for some "noise"...so I gave it to him...heh...
