"Five Narratives for Piano"
I enjoy exploring guided improvisation through fanned beams, aleatoric passages, and ambiguous guidance. In a future where AI may help us achieve our exact intentions, I cherish the unique qualities human performers bring to my work—“imperfections” and all. I love when performers infuse their perspectives into their interpretations, which drew me to improvisation in my earlier studies.
This piece, titled "Five Narratives for Piano," suggests that each movement has a distinct character that offers the listener a musical journey shaped by the artist’s interpretation. By “narrative,” I mean the life the artist brings to the work, with each character represented by a musical gesture that persists throughout the movement.
