This piece of music started the idea and was the first fully formed piece for the album - Aberg Piano Works. It was originally an intro to an electronic composition performed with the band but evolved into a more complex piano piece with a string section, which incidentally was the first notes I learnt on the cello. I performed this piece in the live Paris final for the EuroMusic contest 2014.

Prelude (Your Eyes)

This piece started with the string rise section, I then built the piano chords and changes around that. I used to perform this piece a with the band Dead Dux, usually accompanied with the vocals and lyrics of singer, Tricky Murphy. 

String Rise in B Flat

This short piano piece was written at House Bergruh which is situated in the Austrian Alps. The view of the snow covered mountains inspired the piece. Thanks for listening.. 

Bergruh

This was originally meant to be part of another song called 'Next Life'. However, I could never really get it to fit. I was listening to a lot of 'Math Rock' at the time and so started experimenting with different time signatures. It starts in 4/4 moves to  5/4, then 4/4, to 3/4 quickly, then shifts to 5/4 moving to 7/8 and returns back to 4/4 to end. (Yeah I know too much information...sorry) I didn't want it sounding too disjointed so it took several months to complete and join the different sections smoothly. Hope you enjoy it. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.
 

Aperiodic

Work in progress. A different style to my usual stuff. Please feel free to comment and thanks for listening.

Groundwork

After leaving the UK in a campervan and eventually settling in the Austrian Alps, I was inspired to finish and record some of my piano and string compositions and create an album. Here are 4 tracks from the album which were completed early 2014. If you like these tracks and get a chance, please have a listen to the rest of the album which is called Aberg Piano Works and is available on iTunes/Spotify/Bandcamp/Tidal and other on-line music platforms. If you like you can also check out my FB music page.
