A collection of more mellow and emotive instrumentals. From music to inspire a film score to solo piano pieces and improvisation.

I made most of these in 2020. I didn't make much dance music that year. The last track (Sonderfly V1) is one of the first piano improvisations I happened to record. I was in such a deep flow state, that somehow, I gave life to so many musical babies that directly relate to moments in this improvisation session. It's like the improv sesh that just keeps giving.

I'm grateful that I allowed myself the time to play freely that night.

If you're interested in using any of these tracks for a video or film project, feel free to reach out to me at juan+composer@juanvazquez.io.

I'm also interested in collaborating with filmmakers and artists who want original music for their project.

I'm particularly interested in amplifying the voices of creators that belong to historically excluded communities.

Other collab ideas:

- tech-inclined projects (I'm a software engineer)
- drone footage (amateur drone enthusiast here)
- let's write a song together
- let's jam and see what happens, if anything

after listening to "Trance Frendz" by Nils Frahm and Ólafur Arnalds, i was inspired to record an improvisation on my keyboard. and by improvisation i mean "play some basic minor chords. make mistakes. repeat pretty parts. repeat."

there's are a couple of surprisingly nice moments, and also plenty of pauses, hiccups, and slips of the finger. mistakes and imperfections are all part of the process of learning and growing, and in the case of this improvisation, some of the "wrong" notes i hit ended up leading me to places i wasn't expecting :]. so i left them all in.

as an ongoing experiment, i plan on playing around with bits and pieces and uploading them as a new variation.

cheers,
juan

This place serves as record of my growth as a music maker. Expect all sorts of  imperfections and strange experiments. Solo piano pieces and dancey, trancey things, too.

This is my time turner. 🕰️
