Hi. I’ve just added this track to Piano Gems playlist 👏👏👏

Bjørn-Henrik Zink (Piano)

Here is my Piano Day 2021 contribution, especially made for the occasion 🎉

I usually play it as improvisation on my old grand. Many times the improvisations spin out into all types of strange sounds and rarely lasts less than 30 mins!

Enjoy ❤️🎹

Bjørn-Henrik Zink - Never Ending (Piano Day 2021)

Here is my Piano Day 2022 contribution. Enjoy!

It is a reflection of infinite AI thoughts. 

The piece is dedicated to my friend David Kreutzer as a birthday gift. We were suppose to meet up in our hometown, Copenhagen. But due to Covid, I needed to stay in Stockholm and wrote this piece instead.

Let me know if you want the score, then I will send it to you as pdf.

Bjørn-Henrik Zink - Infinite (Piano Day 2022)

Be is a piece about just being in the here and now while being a part of this mystical and magical universe that surrounds us 💫

Hope you like it and enjoy 🎹

This track has been baptized by my 10 year old daughter “Not in this world”. I like it, it suits its special atmosphere. 

Compositionwise, the track follows an AABAB structure. It starts in part A with monophonic lines in the left and the right hand (the first chord of the track is used @0:29) and the track does not shift to polypohony until 0:45. The left hand has a rigid rhythmic pattern of a half followed by two quarters (occasionally another half) that is broken the first time by an eight at 0:41, increasing the tension just before the switch to polyphony (part B). 

Left and right hand in part A are interwoven in that they only rarely have notes played simultaneously. Rather they mostly complement each other in that when one hand plays a note, the other rests. This is done by shifting the left and the right hand by an eight note – the basic 4/4 rhythm is maintained by the left hand while the right hand dances around this pattern with a shift of 1/8. Notationwise this requires tons of ligature bows to depict the notes that lie across the bars (see youtube video for scores). The shifting by 1/8 allows the two hands to complement each other and creates a melodic carpet by intertwining the two melodic threads.

With the start of part Bs polyphony around 0:45, the track falls into a melancholic downward melody interrupted by brief glimpses of hope. While the right hand underlines now the melody with chords, the left hand is now deviating from the strict rhythm to more playful accompaignment with eights. 

The track then repeats the initially monophonic melody of part A, yet now with a bit more chord texture in the right hand and an arpeggio-like quarter pattern in the left hand. Afterwards a more intense variation of the melancholic part B fades finally out into the oblivion of the universe. 

Some explanatory videos to underline this:

The track has been recorded via a pianoTeq Steinway. However, I used four mikes in the virtual setup, two of which I put very close together. I guess, each sound recorder who understands something of his affairs would condemn me for that, but to me, the resonances give a very peculiar feel to the piano tone which suits nicely the mood that I wanted to express.

Not In This World

A story, similarly as an improvisation, should give an impression of a spontaneous stream of events. A good speaker can draw his listeners into a colourful flow of events whose solution is impatiently awaited by them. “The Vortex” is our story. Entirely improvised, it guides us through stylistically diverse moments during which we give in to the attempt to create our own world. A world in which colour is the dominant forming element of our common musical language. Wandering through the internal sound landscapes of such instruments as the Buchla Music Easel synthesizer, modular synthesizer, piano or DSI Prophet 6, we accept the challenge to map these seemingly different musical lands and merge them into a single, organic whole. 
All pieces are improvised, recorded on the so-called one-take
