<p>
The following links lead to music I've recorded. These recordings originate from
one of two pianos: my 1903 Bechstein parlor grand or my Casio PX-S3000 digital piano.
My digital piano can record MIDI, so I use a DAW to customize and assign a piano sound afterwards.
However, I don't edit the MIDI data at all. It's all exactly as-played.
For my acoustic piano, I either use my phone's voice memo app or my MXL990 microphone,
depending on how lazy I feel.
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.
</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.
I can also sing kind of, so there are some recordings of that, and there will be more in the future.
