When I decided I wanted to pick my piano project back up and dust the grave off of it, I plugged in my keyboard and poked the keys for a few minutes before recording. The first four minutes or so was that outcome, just before FAWM started.
I like to fill spaces with sound, so, this morning I woke up. Rolled out of bed in my knickers and fumbled along with my own uncertain melodies. Adding a touch more to it, something to slide underneath what was already there. And then I ended up recording another four minutes. Because why not.
This whole piece is one big improv. I have next to zero practical piano knowledge. Like most instruments, I understand the very basics... but playing? It's all in the air and on the wind, as it were. If something sounds good, I run with it. There isn't a plan. Hardly ever.
"Hope" was one word that kept repeating in my head while I was listening back to the track, deciding if I wanted to add more layers. Maybe some ambient pads. Ultimately, I liked it the way it was. So here it is. Enjoy.
