"/header.php"); Any editing is done in Audacity or Ableton, though most of my recordings are posted raw. </p> <p> + I have given a great deal of consideration to both the theory and philosophy of music. + I feel broadly dissatisfied with the current state of musical education and appreciation + in Western society. I initially pursued a classical education, but found myself + unwilling to engage in the rote practice that was expected to memorize pieces. + After taking a break from the piano, a good friend of mine introduced me to the + possibility of improvisational playing. In my improv, I attempt to integrate elements + of different time periods, especially baroque, impressionism, ragtime, and jazz. + I find myself unengaged by most baroque and classical music, largely due to a systemic + unwillingness to push the boundaries of harmony. On the other hand, I find jazz too + hesitant to accept the establishment of a tonic, and in many ways I still feel too restricted + by certain rhythmic constraints. So I attempt to find some hybrid of all these things that + satisfies my possibly atypical taste. +</p> +<p> I've only played music since 2021, so I am very much an amateur! I enjoy some of my music and hope you will too, but I don't want to imply that I am in any way an expert. Recently I've gotten into singing, so some recordings of that may appear here in the near future. |
