July 12 2025 Piano Meditation

At the time of making this track, I was trying to make my hands be completely independent of each other.  Creating a sort of polyrhythm.  This is just a one line track of just me on a midi controller trying to make piano music.  It's partially inspired by Arvo Part.

This improvisation continues a cycle of songs that exist in relationship to my drawings. As always it is unedited and unmastered, and it will one day become part of a larger sonic whole.

July 23 2025 Piano Meditation

Today's meditation happened in a moment of tiredness -  from the heat, from the world. 

It became a slow lullaby. A dream about rain, a tempest, perhaps approaching.

July 25 2025 Piano Meditation

In loving memory of my mother and father - improvised on July 27th 2025 at Pianoforte, Chicago. Fazioli Grand Piano

Una pieza para piano en tempo ligero que retrata la travesía de un gato curioso. 
Desde el calor de un sueño hasta el eco distante de un piano en la ciudad, el ritmo a 130 BPM guía su breve exploración urbana hasta su regreso a la calma.

Compuesta en Fa# menor, esta variación felina es una carta abierta a quienes buscan la belleza en lo efímero.

August 9 2025 Piano Occurrence 

14 minutes 47 seconds

This mediation, or, occurrence, is part of the cycle of piano improvisations occurring in response to the world, as it is now, or as it disappears.

The more I think about my large-scale drawings as musical scores, the more I hope they can be read, not only by musicians, compatriots of music, but also, all who assume they can’t read music. The ultimate goal being to hear attentively, to “deeply listen” – to quote my hero, Pauline Oliveros.

August 9 2025 Piano Occurance

A nocturnal piano improvisation under the quiet gaze of Miriam’s Moon. Soft, drifting melodies carry the listener across still waters and shadowed hills, capturing the quiet glow of night. Recorded live, unplanned, and unfiltered — just the piano, the moment, and the moonlight. Best heard at night or in moments of stillness.

August 14 2025 Piano Meditation (in Occurrences cycle) 
 11 minutes 22 seconds


I feel an urge to go to the desert today, to listen to the sand and to the wind. To bring a piano there. Today's meditation took me to a place of heat, sun, vastness, immersion in the layers of golden sand. It is hot in New York today and my fingers were sweating, and the piano felt damp. Yet what the piano told me was crisp and cascading, like a dream about jumping into deep dark green waters. 

There was a brief moment I felt that Keith Jarrett's music came to me, like a momentary visit. Ever since listening to The Koln Concert during my teen years in Warsaw - hiding with the cassette tape player and headphones under the covers so that my classical pianist mother would not know - I have loved all that Jarrett does, always.

Sometimes magic happens without warning. This piece was born from a pure moment of inspiration, every note falling into place naturally.
Light percussive piano colors, a touch of sonic texture… but above all, pure piano moments, created instantly in the moment.
Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by this unique, spontaneous flow.

《 Scenery of Life 》Original piano piece_ Live + Improv

🎹 After 27 years away, I returned to music for the pure joy of creating.
In solidarity with artists, I have removed all generative AI from my work, keeping every note authentic and played by hand.
A legacy of passion, integrity, and respect for the art.

I'm a dance musician. I am passionate about dance accompaniment and exploring the interplay between music and dance.

At the heart of my music is silence. Each note emerges from it and dissolves back into it, like whispers carried by the first light of dawn. I play without sheet music, chords, or theory—choosing instead to trust my ear and the moment. What unfolds is not performance but discovery: fragile, improvised pieces that drift between sound and stillness.

Hola! que tal!, me llamo "NekoTori"

Hello and Welcome!     

It is so very wonderful to have discovered a beautiful world of music here on soundcloud. So many talented composers, musicians and artists. This is awesome and overwhelming at the same time... 
                  
I have always considered myself to be mainly a composer and then a pianist. I have been writing my own works since the age of 16. The first instrument that I ever played was a violin at age 6, then I began Classical piano training at age 7. My mother played violin, piano, organ and sang in the choir for the church we attended in my childhood... I hope that you will enjoy my music, it is an art that I love to work at every day....(to be continued)

Thank you for listening...

Cheers! Daniel :-)
