A Tear for Democracy - PianoTweet #30 
Posted 29 Jan 2011 23:10

Democracy. For us all. We know about it. These days a turn-around, a revolution is going on in Northern Africa. People want their freedom of speech, their freedom of choice. Being the director of their lives themselves. Like me: I want the same. The Lack of Democracy often causes large movements, like now. My Tear for Democracy lasts only 34 seconds. But it's a large one. For a large movement, for a great feeling and a deep change.

My Rhythm, part 1 - PianoTweet #29 (140 notes, 5 mins 27 secs)

The original work "My Rhythm" is a very long, large, slow, spacy, meditative, hypnotic, free piece of piano music. Today it's the 4 weeks Anniversary of PianoTweets. I felt the need to repeat this piece, to present it to many new and enthousiastic followers. It's like a dream, like an endless story, there's no point of return. I don't mind. It made me happy to play it, to makes me happy to listen at it. It's a statement. This is My Most Important Work. It opened up my mind. It reflected the start of a new process in me. Take a break for 5 and a half minutes. Close your eyes Listen and Enjoy My Rhythm with me!

PianoTweet #28

One of my dearest friends lately sent me a message, maybe the next day after I started this project PianoTweets, the 1st of January. She wrote (yes, it’s a SHE): “Wow!” A little while after that a second message arrived: “Way to Go!”. At first I didn’t understand the meaning of that expression. I thought: “Ow, help, that means there’s an awful lot to do, I’m not gonna make it, it’s gonna be a heavy job…!”. Well, I must admit, in some way she was a little bit right. There’s a lot to do :-) But that is NOT what she meant, it’s not what the expression means. She meant to say: “Ok! There’s a great and beautiful way to go! This is a huge chance!”. And that’s what it is. Realizing this project isn’t an easy job, but it’s the most free, joyful and satisfying thing I ever invented to do. And I’m happy with the growing number of fans of this project: they all listen and reflect and react and support. To you ALL I want to write this: @PianoTweets is WAY to GO! Playing this piece (in E flat major, but the notes only touch that chord at the end…) I felt this energy, this “push” to go on and on. The open chords combined in a fast sequence illustrate the rolling power that’s beyond… Enjoy this Way to Go @PianoTweets!

PianoTweet #27: "Waiting for the Spring" (139 notes, 30 secs)

It makes me mad! Those dark clouds, that rain, then frost again or some feet of beautiful white snow… Some years ago I emigrated in november: for wheather’s sake. And then it was there: Spring! Man, was I a happy guy… The only thing I forgot in some way, is nature’s law of the existing, shifting seasons – almost everywhere on this Globe. I learned to enjoy and love all seasons, I don’t emigrate to hunt the Spring anymore. Just wait for its Coming. This piece makes harmonic shifts between F major and E minor, like a season shift, could we pressume.

PianoTweet nr. 26, "Pensieroso". (117 notes, 50 secs)

I'll tell you a part of my thoughts: being thoughtful - "pensieroso"… The reason to name this track in Italian is simple. I lived there for almost three years. It was very moving and impressive. Probably, Italian is the most beautiful language in the world. Italy probably is the most beautiful country in Europe. So they say. It's a complicated country. People aren't simple over there. They are beautiful, like all people. They are difficult, too. While composing this piece, my thoughts were in Italy. And thoughts give appearance, give "body" to feelings. Or is it the opposite way? Probably, you, my listeners are gonna hear more of my musical thoughts in Italian, here at PianoTweets. There's melancholy, theatre, optimism, passion, anger, frustration, adoration, joy, history, music. Thoughts are like human beings. Reflective. Constructive. Creative. You name it. I played it. Enjoy this thinking track of @PianoTweets!

PianoTweet nr. 25, "Free Distortion". (139 notes, 53 secs)

This recording was made with a very free mind. I actually felt so free that the audio sgnal of the piano was recorded a little too loud, for equipment's sake. At the right channel - for all careful stereo listeners - a signal distortion can be heard. It's a nice analogy with real life. With a free mind one can cause distortion. But watt is distortion? (Ah, I see a distorted word over there...!) Distortion (also) means a deformation of a pattern. But sometimes it's really healthy to get rid of a pattern. A pattern can feel like a prison. Me like a Prisoner in disguise. Oh no…! So go and distort - if you wanna feel yourself free! This distorted piece was written with the beauty of the harmonic patterns of B minor. And now… Enjoy, with a free mind: this track of @PianoTweets!

PianoTweet nr. 24, "City Walk".

PianoTweet nr. 24, "City Walk". (121, notes, 35 secs) The original was written in May last year, and dedicated to my beloved girlfriend Jeanne. From the album "Life's Thumbnails". It's inspired on peoples movements in the shopping centre of the city. Illustrating the vast and cloudy crowds: slowly, almost lazy moving, walking, talking, watching, eating, drinking, puzzling. Puzzling on what piece of material is next to be taken, to be consumed, to have. I observe the crowds, instead of watching into the shops, wondering when they get tired. At the same time: it's lively, cosy, full of energy and social engagement. In this piece, written in E flat major, I use rather insisting some of my favorite intervals: the minor and major 2nd. Two notes very near to each other, resulting in those typical tight chords. After some theoretical words: Enjoy this new week's @PianoTweets!

PianoTweet nr. 22, "Weekend Dream, part 1"

PianoTweet nr. 22, "Weekend Dream, part 1" Sometimes I read about people's dreams in my timeline. For me as a human being, Dreaming is one of the most beautiful and intense actions of the brain. It happens that I dream of orange bombs with long and misty tails, falling from a clear and deep blue sky. Almost once in a month my dream is the most wonderful thing dream I know: my arms function like real wings! I fly anywhere I want to fly to, high above woods and fields, cities and houses and… it's so easy! Of course I've had my bad dreams too, dear listeners. In real lifetime, when awake, I dream a lot too. Light ones and heavy ones. It's all happening in my brains. And it causes always deep feelings. So, this weekend, it's Dream Weekend. Today you hear a bit of my dreams: part 1. Tomorrow it's up to part 2. There are more parts to come…. Enjoy, dreaming with @PianoTweets!

PianoTweet nr. 21, "#FF 2 EveryOne"

PianoTweet nr. 21, "#FF 2 EveryOne" Just simply as the key of this piece is, C Major. No flats nor sharps. Just the basic one, the first one, the strongest. During my stay in Italy I performed this piece in many variations. As a "pianobar" piano player. Especially in a grand hotel, when I played during sunday morning's breakfast. Big deal. I want every follower of this great and continuing project to enjoy a good Friday; even a better Friday! Because getting up early and starting your day with a #PianoTweet; there's nothing like that... Enjoy, All Day Long! @PianoTweets
