Piano Solo

My current work with piano develops a language of Scriabin-esque harmonic and improvisational vocabularies in an avant jazz idiom inspired by Vijay Iyer and Anthony Braxton. Departing from ‘major’ / ’minor’ harmonic designs, I’ve constructed my own set of oppositional ‘opening’ and ‘closing’ paradigms to describe the particular asymmetries these compositions explore. This work has an affinity for grotesque or awkward beauty, and vivid dissonance. I bring to it my personal ethos, love of people and nature, and joy of playing.
