Waterfall: Piano Solos (NOVA 1985)

Title track from 1985 NOVA records release. 
This piece comes from a much earlier period of my musical development. It is an assortment of musical ideas that was originally recorded in a studio with piano, synthesizers, electric bass, flute, drums and percussion. When I was signed with NOVA records, I reduced the composition to a solo piano piece. Since that time much has changed in my musical sensibilities and so it is time to revisit this tune. I am currently restructuring this composition for ensemble in a new recording project that was initiated by an offer to perform a concert. My intention is to recompose the entire album. My belief is compositional continuity and emotional content will be greatly improved with these reborn versions. As a reference, here is the piano solo version. 

Waterfall

"The Child" is the 2nd track on Waterfall. It is a playful composition in a theme and variation form composed and recorded in my 20s.  Now I hear new countermelodies and tonalities in an ensemble setting.

The Child

This is the 4th track from my 1985 release Waterfall on Nova Records. At the time I composed this music I was involved with a film scoring program at UCLA and was assigned to write a series of short piano solos. This one blossomed into this 5 minute composition. I would certainly want to rewrite portions now and rerecord.

Distant Remembering

This is track #3 from my solo piano album "Waterfall."  I am not sure what I will be doing to revamp this yet. I have to listen to it with new ears. ;-)

Serene Anticipation

This is track #7 from my album Waterfall. I am looking forward to recording this one again.
