Two Drips

[pianowolfi]

This is my second live improv recorded on video, it's from today.

It's strange to watch myself, it feels completely differently from inside of me  . But okay, that's interesting about the new technologies...

Its nice seeing a video instead of recordings.

I thought this was very eery and spooky, kinda reminded me of an old 60's - 80's horror movie.
Kept wanting to look behind me!!!!

Good stuff

I really thought this was a great improvisation!

[pianowolfi]

Thanks

As for spooky, I think I have done spookier things before. But I don't mind, perceptions can differ

I had thought I commented on this but it must have only been in my mind (how often do I do that?).

I love this improv, and indeed, the title. I love the idea of music dripping and of splashes of music. This is very tasteful and comfortably fit in its special language, a tongue I feel accustomed to knowing, but even it is the voice of Pianowolfi. It drips and I love it. It is also this great combination of the spontaneous and the secure...secure spontaneity. Although I would wish to reproduce it, it is so comfortable in what it is and can only be, a cool spring from your mind, which you've kindly shared with us.

Furtwängler, sometimes I'm asking myself if you are a writer or a musician. Sometimes I think you are both

Thank you for recognizing and noticing so many things...

Wolfi,   I find this improv very reflective.....I hear the drops steadily throughout the improv.
Very contemporary with the harmonies.  I like it very much.  You keep doing those improvs,

best wishes,

Hi go, thank you Sure I keep doing...nothing can stop me

I like how you wrap it up in the coda, the last minute.  A most satisfying summing up.  It slakes the musical thirst.

It's nice to see your Steinway.  You look sharp in the jacket, Wolfi.

Hi Goldy, thanks

Sometimes it's just a drop in the bucket yet..

It's nice to see your Steinway.  

It's a New York, as you can see, but it has Hamburg hammers. But New York shafts. Quite a combination. Hamburg Steinways are quite unaffordable here...

Wolfi, I'm listening again to your improvisation (composition?), Two Drips. It is one of my favorites. I now hear strands of ideas connecting it with Rachmaninov's great D minor sonata, and hinting at the complexity of the Russian futurists, but all comfortable in a certain, specific range of dynamics and expression. In the end it is perfectly Pianowolfi in the best sense, and it's a world I'm very comfortable in. Such things need to be visited more often. I wish I had it as a file I could burn on CD and take with me . Is this one you have notated or have thought to include on one of your programs?

Hi Furtwängler, I think I have it as an audio file too, I need to search a bit. Actually this is something I thought would rather stay an improv. It seems to me a bit meandering between what I call "Barcelona style" (which started when I was in that city watching a Miro painting and "improvising on it" afterwards), a very floating unearthy style, and the more grounded later style of a future project "Steps". I think it is a "listening improv etude" in the sense that I listen to somewhere far out or deep inside and try to catch what I listen, or feel, in parts of a second.
