This is a second of a series of improvisational works. My goal as a composer is to create musical works that fluctuates between order and chaos. I have yet to accomplish this balance in my work.
To push my boundaries as a composer, I developed a daily piano practice that involves focused improvisation. Each improvisation starts with a simple rhythmic and harmonic pattern. As the pattern progresses, I change the structure and harmony gradually with focus and intuition. The aim is to play the piano in unconventional ways to break through my own barriers and fears as a performer.
I decided to name these works “impressions” as they are like musical imprints conceived in the moment without a predetermined concept or idea. To make these impressions even more obscure, I decided to pick a tarot card to represent each piece.
With this specific improvisation I started with a soothing pattern with heavy reverb and pedal work. The harmony and overtones created by the reverb were leading my way through chord and harmony changes. The tarot card I picked by random was the king of cups.
