This is a track collection for my new album, "Cloud Computing: Adventures in Music Entrepreneurship", compiled as a YouTube playlist. These are mostly piano improvisations recorded from *within* the piano, which gives the listener an insider's perspective of the musical and creative process. Each track is accompanied by a journal entry, as I've documented all of my efforts at trying to advance a type of music into the marketplace that's largely considered an "avant-garde" style at this point in time -- an ongoing story of the evolution of musical ideas as it comes in contact with the general public.

These works can both be listened to in itself, as well as performed by instrumentalists. This is an experiment in applying "Lean Startup" principals to musical processes, which uses an improvised recording, "An Early Beginning", as its Minimum Viable Product.
All tracks are designed to loop indefinitely, so if it sounds like it ends abruptly that's why. (Maybe YouTube might make an "auto-repeat" function one of these days.)
