OK, so maybe I was on acid! Clearly influenced by Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata here - I love how the string patch sits underneath the keys and creates that ominous and brooding feel to the piece. From a much longer 25 minute development track in march of this year - lots of good ideas in this [...]...

I suspect like many, my phone is now my alarm clock. Aside from the rather worrying habit of checking my email 30 seconds after I open my eyes - this does give me the facility to choose what sound I wake up to. I spent a month with Radiohead's "No surprises" - which made me [...]...

I cannot describe – (although clearly I’ll have a shot at it!) – what it is like – not to play – or I guess more appropriately – when you can’t play. I’m not talking about an injury or about Golf – I’m talking about a blockage – IR...

Some days there’s just nothing – even if you’re half humming a theme in the shower, by the time the finger chops are done there’s nothing in the ether – so what to do? This is where the blues come in: Download MP3 I almost gave up the piano – I was 12 and I [...]...

The butterflies were correct! Download MP3 It’s interesting to see how as the tempo increases the time signature of the theme changes. It started off last weekend in 8/4 time and this morning morphed into 6/8 – actually – I think it did that yesterday at 109. It gives it a more lil...

Tightening up of the overall structure although the minor development is a little “schmaltzy” and I’m not talking goose fat! Download MP3 Think we’ll do one more pass at this tomorrow morning at 113 beats per minute and then take it out for a spin over the weekend. With four...

Nice development of the core “1A” theme here – reflected in the minor 3rd and the slightly faster tempo at 107 opens the piece up for a little finger work at the back end – I’m liking where this is going. Download Tweet This! Share this on Facebook Stumble upon somethin...

Day 2 and things moving in the right direction – I like how the two themes are starting to stitch together: Download I’ll be developing this all week at faster beats per minute as we go up the prime tempos: 107, 109, 113 – come the weekend I hope to have an idea of where it [...]...

So it’s into the new routine – up early, scales and arpeggios followed by a little theme development to get the creative juices flowing. This is a further development of the F9 theme that came out over the weekend – I think I’ll be playing with this all week as I increase the...
