This is a group of four tracks I recently improvised. As the title suggests, they are a look back at how I started in improvisation. Although I played piano, I really wanted to be a lead guitarist! Instead, I tried to imitate what I heard from the blues/rock I heard and loved.
Hope you enjoy!

I’ve been continuing to compose instrumental piano pieces titled after the four seasons. This time up it’s Spring (won’t Summer be just itching to get started?).
Again, these pieces are improvised, or in classical terms, “through composed”. I discovered a new tag to describe them: Alt Classical, from reading about another composer and how her music is categorized.
So, Alt Classical it is. Hope you enjoy it!

Over the last few months I’ve been improvising piano instrumentals I have titled Seasons, and subtitled Winter. Who knows, Spring might come next!
I hope you’ll enjoy them.

I’ve been working on new music and here it is. These pieces are a combination of piano and electronic sounds, and I’ve called them Themes. The titles refer to when they were composed/improvised. (My method of composition is basically straight improvisation, with very few tweaks afterwords.) I think, after listening to them, that they do reflect the mood of our times: uncertainty and hope. We need to stay as positive as possible. That is my own feeling!
Enjoy!
