I share my piano improvisation recordings here as a journey in raw, musical self-expression, and I invite you to listen to these snapshots of my internal world; the technical notes are extras for those who wish to explore the music theory further. I also use this creative space to support Cats Protection.
This improvisation has a bit of drive. The left hand keeps up a steady walking bass in B♭ at around 120bpm. The tension comes from the undercurrents — glissando, tremolos, clusters, punctuated 9th/13th chords, and my own turnaround motifs — always subtly pushing the music forward. At only two minutes long, it is compact but with momentum, with an energetic intro, and a final Sammy Price inspired flourish to close.
As usual, this was a spontaneous and unplanned recording, exploring the moment.

My regular piano improvisation recordings are automatically scheduled and published here on my blog every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Each recording is a raw, unedited exploration of musical self-expression. Music often holds up a mirror to our inner worlds; what emotions or imagery arise for you as you listen?
🐾 Music for a Cause: These recordings are free to listen to. I also use this creative space to support Cats Protection, the charity where I adopted my own lovely cats. If my music brought a moment of joy to you, and if you are able, please consider making a small, voluntary donation directly to them via my JustGiving Page, or you can just share this blog post with someone who might like the music. Please never feel any obligation to give — your ears, your time, and your shares are support enough. ❤️
