Flores de Papel

That's a piano piece totally improvised, I just sat on the piano and play what spontaneously came out. No sheet music, preparation, or forethought. Just spontaneous composition, in one take. No edit. This is why you may hear some "mistakes" but as Thelonious Monk said: “The piano ain't got no wrong notes.” ;-)
I made it as part of the Piano Journal experimentation, a project created by Jason Dzamba: www.thepianojournal.com

Impromptus Vol. 1

Impromptu n°II / FREE Download (Total improvisation, no edit)

The new album, composed having in mind the idea of releasing it mostly on vinyl, has two different "sides" - the "Solo" side, in which I am playing a delicate and intimate felted grand piano and the "romance" side, in which I composed music with strings, in a more cinematic style.

Los Angeles, California serves as home base for the concept group called Vitamin String Quartet. The group is made up of studio musicians who are brought together to interpret and record orchestra style covers of music from all types of genres ranging metal, techno, country, pop, rock and hip-hop dance music. While the quartet uses a wide assortment of artists and instruments, one fairly constant member of the group is violinist Tom Tally. Tally has been intimately involved in the composing, arranging and conduction of many songs on approximately 50 of the albums that have been recorded by the group. While the group is referred to as a string quartet, the reality is that more individuals are usually involved, using instruments such as violins, cellos, percussion, brass and woodwinds. The group was originally brought together in 1999 as an experimental project. They wanted to determine the effects of using classical style instruments to create new and different sounds on popular recordings. Early on, the FM broadcast station WWHK in Concord, NH would play the group's music 24 hours a day, every day, for a period of time. The popularity of the group's music has led to the music being featured on TV and in the movies. Credits include So You Think You Can Dance (2008), TV show The Vampire Diaries (2010), the 100th episode of Gossip Girl and the fifth season finale of Modern Family (2014). Throughout the years, the group has been involved in the recording of over 200 different albums. In 2009, the group stepped out of the box a bit and recorded some original material provided by some of the various musicians on the album Per_Versions.
