Having grand piano at home is pretty addictive - spending hours and hours playing every day. I would play even more if I had the time :) However, recording improvisations on the grand piano is a tricky and long process. No more fixing wrong notes. Not that I play many of those :) but when a live performance is being recorded in MIDI - it's tempting to fix even a single one. When it's an acoustic recording - alas. Besides, it's not that easy to transcribe acoustic recordings - MIDI is way easier to transcribe. Easier, but not trivial as I don't compose in any notation software but sit in front of an instrument and improvise live, what is sometimes called "an instant composition".  It takes about a week to transcribe a single improvisation into sheet music but it's an absolutely amazing feeling when I get the notes for my own improvisations - they stop being "moments in time that never repeat" and become compositions that can be played over and over again. And not just by myself.

Anyways, here is a new improvisation from me..... based on Arty's motif :) This isn't an acoustic recording but same MIDI recording, produced using one of sampled pianos in Propellerhead Reason - same way as most of my piano pieces... However, now I will make a note sheet for it, so I'll be able to play it again on the acoustic piano.. in the future :)

On another note, I am happy to announce the release of my new piano album "Spirit of Journey". The album is available on iTunes, Amazon, BandCamp, CDBaby, Spotify and other major online stores and streaming services. Your support is very much appreciated, all the earnings from album sales go back into the creation of music: new and better recording equipment, new and better composing tools and sound libraries and so on.

I 've composed that piece yesterday night, when i was thinking about what is happening in europe.
Someone has just listened and told me that is was plenty of joy and melancholy, calm and anger, lightness and gravity.
It is true. Is what i feel when i see what we are doing to the wonderful dream called Europe United.

Beta Version 0.01 (Europe Today) - Piano Solo

Playing piano since I was four and studied in a musical school for ten years. Though, I always felt that playing by notes and singing in a choir is not enough to become a musician. I needed to be able to play anything I want by ear so, by starting improvising, I've found my own style of playing. When I teach children to play piano or sing, I offer them improvisation right from the beginning. I wish I was taught that way, since until my mid-30s I had hard times to relax and believe in my ability to create my own music. Twelve years ago my husband (@arty-sandler) finally convinced me to record some of my improvisations and we opened this account on SoundCloud - it happened in July, 2012.

You won't find a single particular genre on my cloud: my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Jazz and soft rock are my favorites but I also play blues, classical, folk, middle-eastern, New Age, ambient and others. Piano and vocal are my main instruments but together with my husband we also experiment a lot with different arrangements and orchestrations. 

When we started uploading our music to SoundCloud back in 2012, it was first shy attempts to record my improvisations straight from a keyboard. Many things have evolved since then. Over the years we've grown into a professional recording and composing studio, with a conservatory grand piano in an acoustically treated room and a bunch of microphones and other recording equipment. We scored a few documentaries, short films and animations. This year my orchestral and piano solo works were performed by Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for Bryan Arias’s ballet show based on “The Little Prince” story. We've published three books with my original scores for solo piano and released twenty original full-length albums (solo piano, multi-instrumental and original songs in various genres) and numerous singles that have been streamed over 70 million times across multiple platforms.

I am glad you stepped by into my musical world and appreciate your comments and following me.
