New Video
This past month has been particularly creative for me here in New Smyrna Beach. One because I have my Kawai grand piano again and the beautiful surroundings of NSB. The videos range from simple scenery to image experiments, the music from simple free improv on the piano to more complex two keyboard improvisations with added composition. Sometimes the music compliments the moving graphic images in similar time and at other times works contrapuntally to the images. At time the images may be more static to get the listener to focus on the music. At other times the moving images are the focus.
190101 Happy New Year
New media abstract music video with free improv piano music. The images develop a contrapuntal rhythm to the slower music.
Surfing NSB
I was surfing on the waveforms of my new Seaboard Rise when I decided to video surfing outside off my balcony. New Smyrna Beach is one of the top surfing communities in the USA. The music incorporates the randomness of the waves with the aleatoric mashups of movements through various chromatic keys.

Buddhist Xmas NSB 2018
I woke to a moonrise, a sunrise and a new painting I had recently completed, then walked the Smyrna Dunes boardwalk with my cellphone outside my condo. It was a Buddhist Christmas, quiet and meditative. The music was a simple piano free improv.
Like Glass 181223
This somewhat frenetic piece reminded me of the music of Phillip Glass. The images also might relate with glasslike moving abstract fragments. Probably too much coffee.
181222
Free improv piano music set to abstract images from laptop, cellphone and a new painting. The music explores half tone separations using different keys and rhythms. The images contrast smooth vs textured surfaces. Action at the edges are as important as what is in the center.
181216 Sunday Morning Reverie
I woke this morning and improvised this piano piece. It set the mood for the day. The images were from screen shots of an earlier video merged together.

Live Videotape
More recently I have videotaped my piano playing. It is interesting to get visual feedback on how you are playing as well as what you have played (audio recording).
