Lately I've been getting used to something new. To play to an audience. It's horrifying. They just sit there with no chance of escape, no chance of swiping to the next video. But I'm going to get back to playing alone, alone with my suitably broken Rhodes seventy-three. Coming up this winter: new videos played alone, new videos to get bored with.
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.
