Piano Expressions No. 4: Nimbus
from Josh Salazar Hosted by Josh Salazar
I love to sit at the piano and improvise. Every now and then, while I'm improvising, I'll start playing with some ideas that I really like. These recordings come from those ideas. The pieces recorded here are semi-improvised; they are still being played off the cuff, but with a few of the ideas prepared ahead of time. I focused on a left hand pattern based on creating add9 chords out of fifths (i.e. the first chord in the piece is a Gadd9no3). I've always loved the sound of chords built using fifths thanks mostly to Debussy, so I wanted to see what I could do with it myself. This ended up being a fairly relaxing piece, I think.
