Dreamscape #1 - 22

The music here is part of a set of compositions that explore the musical genre defined by composers such as Steve Reich, Terry Riley and Phillip Glass, but just a tad leaner and gentler with perhaps a bit more melody. and also influenced by Indonesian Gamelon and by west African Kora music.

My creative process centers on not finalizing the music right away, but rather improvising the sections and then improvising putting the sections together many times, in different ways, playing repeatedly from beginning to end before starting to record. While this takes longer the he result is a more organic form, with extra measures here and there, which allows the ear to relax, and isn’t always symmetrical or in divisions of 4 measures

This Composition Dreamscape2.0 for solo keyboard (vibraphone), combines interweaving melodies and repeating patterns using intervals. The parts are constantly shifting, moving from high to low, and from one hand to the other, creating a feeling of gentle forward movement, with splashes of melody
