Feb 2022 piano instrumental impressionism
With this song I wanted to go for something with lots of repetition, something you can just zone out listening to. And of course a little sprinkling of jazziness, which I'm trying to do more of this year. Enjoy!

Listening to this makes me glad I'm still here in March!

This is beautiful. It's much too nice to zone out to—it deserves careful listening. I see you've listed Niels Frahm in your influences, and I can hear it in this (as well as hearing nods to Philip Glass and a bunch of other folks) by the way that the repetitions are carefully modified and developed. Really stunningly good.

I know I can come to your tracks and hear something that's going to make me feel something.
The title and the repeated notes go well together. I feel like those notes are like the daily grind...all the tasks and errands and STUFF we gotta do. Fix this, pay that, don't forget this, help so-n-so with that.
Often when there's a lot going on, either in personal or work life for me, I ask "what if I just don't do it". Well the answer is we lose the rat race.
This is reflective, tense, sad, and - because of how beautifully you play and how awesome that piano itself sounds - its relaxing and calming all at the same time.
Your stuff always makes me think and feel.

Interesting and unique progression, and I think you definitely achieved your aim here. :)

Another really lovely piece. A really stunning progression which took a couple of unexpected turns. Great stuff again :)

Wow I needed to hear this today! Thank you! It reminds me of Yann Tiersen’s beautiful compositions :-) Keep these gorgeous instrumentals coming!

This was a nice discovery. I switched off for a few minutes.

I thought this was a very easy listen. A little melancholy, very pretty. Nice job!
