Piano Log 2012-4-2 Part 2
from Melsen's Piano Log
This is the second part of the improvisation I did with my brother Eric in a practice room at Wellesley College after listening to the Alloy Orchestra in concert (Performance to Man with a Movie Camera). I think you can tell that some of the inspiration comes from what we just heard. A little background: Eric and I grew up listening to our dad, Philip Carlsen, composing at the piano. We both studied piano while we were growing up, and we both loved to just sit at the instrument and improvise (I think we preferred this to practicing our classical music pieces!). Periodically, we would jam together. Now, after we've both graduated from college and are working as graphics/media designers, we still take every opportunity we can to make stuff up together. In the first recording (see the previous post), I was playing bass and Eric was playing treble. For this recording, we switched. Enjoy!
