Boring piano improvisation

  “Why don’t you play something based on Black Sabbath’s Solitude ?” asked someone over the internet. For about half a minute, I couldn’t think of a reason why not. Sad Wallpaper Waltz , inspired by  Solitude , played plainly on an upright piano ⬇️ Thank you, Ozzy (1948–2025).

 I just bought this Rhodes piano in a very good shape. It has seen the road, but clearly been cared for. I can't believe how happy I am!

  Since I'm currently taking a break from creating new improvisations, I found the perfect time to share this score animation. Originally posted without sheet music, now you can follow along with the score!

  A longish piano improvisation in the spirit of baroque counterpoint. Inspired by the expressive freedom of two masters: Keith Jarrett and J.S. Bach. This improvisation flows slowly, may I say boringly.

 It´s February. Time for a velvet hard rock.

 

 Piano improvisation is how I explore emotions and atmosphere. Inspired by the world of Studio Ghibli, I wanted to play a simple improvisation that - at times - could resemble the atmosphere of their films. I love Studio Ghibli's movies.  Well, I don't watch them anymore, but when my kids were little, I watched almost all of them. Studio Ghibli's films are true escapist works of art that you want to dive into. The atmosphere reminds me of my own early childhood, when anything seemed possible in my fantasy world.
