Piano meditation: On the breeze
Here’s my latest piano improvisation, a short piece that I think I channeled my inner Erik Satie to create.
Again, I’ve used a simple motive, in this case the movement between two chords, and have tried to create a piece that has steady degree on movement without relying on harmonic changes and instead leaning on a repetitive rhythm and dynamic changes to create the mood.
It reminds me of a see-saw, or a sunflower swinging back and forth on a growing and fading summer wind.
I’m happy with the outcome, it’s peaceful.
Enjoy.
