I collect piano repetiore that are percussively concieved and also which reflect strong thematic and rhythmic repetitions in it's structure, mostly of African origin. This is to explore and introduce the concept of African Pianism and make it possible for a pianist, irrespective of musical orientation, to play, understand and appreciate the complexities of rhythms in African music without necessarily participating or playing in a drum orchestra. African Pianism refers to a style of piano music which derives its characteristic idiom from the procedures of African percussion music as exemplified in bell patterns, drumming, xylophone and mbira music. It may use simple or extended rhythmic motifs or the lyricism of traditional songs and even those of African popular music as the basis of its rhythmic phrases. It is open ended as far as the use of tonal material is concerned except that it may draw on the modal and cadential characteristics of traditional music. Its harmonic idiom may be tonal, atonal, consonant or dissonant in whole or in part, depending on the preferences of the composer, the mood or impressions he wishes to create or how he chooses to reinforce, heighten or soften the jaggedness of successive percussive attacks. My hope and interest is to bring this form of music to viewers and also to speak out against the preconcieved notion that African music is just about drumming and dancing.
