Music for Piano, Synthesizers and Orchestra
Piano Solo with orchestra
Having played Einaudi’s Night in concert and enjoyed the effect, I decided to see if I could write something in that style. He dislikes categorizing his music, but it is minimalist, cinematic, introspective mood music. The solo piano is played over a finely produced, lush accompaniment track.
For five months I explored many new digital sounds and techniques and blended them with traditional orchestral instruments and textures creating a set of twelve unique tone poems that can be played live with the recorded accompaniments. The entire cycle is just over an hour long.
Read the Foreword and Notes from the printed book.
With the success of my first collection, I created a new set of piano solos with backing track. These are impressionistic tone paintings inspired by major constellations of the northern hemisphere.
