Solo Piano - Ambient Pianist Johan Bakker: Late Night Improvisation (part 3)

A seven minutes instant solo piano composition. I am satisfied. After it I decided to play several concerts like this: no plan, just instant composing. Trust my heart....

" A fluid dreamlike quality is present in all of his music. (..) Recommended " (Kathy Parsons, solopianopublications, www.mainlypiano.com)

Silence.... Nobody around.... The Moon is high in the sky. This is a perfect moment for an improvisation on piano. No thoughts... Just searching, listening, wandering and wondering around on the Piano... There is sound, a feeling of keys and a touch of the heart. Starting nowhere and ending anywhere.
There will not be a second time with the same result....

improvisation for some artists leads to developing pieces..., yet, there is something to be said for a piece remaining as such...

as you express here, fearlessly your connection to the discourse of music...

i am listening to this in the context that the piece is an expressive trance..

bravo

3. My support when I start playing is a pattern of chords in my head. That is all. So any (basic) knowledge about chords is useful. When I am playing I vary with those chords and patterns impulsively.

Is this something ?

Ciao Johan (Jsolco)

2. I don 't play chords at the left hand and melody with the right hand. That is quite common I Think. I play a kind of melody and rhythm together at the same moment with my two hands. So my advise: also practise drumming all kinds of rhythms with your hands on the table and everywhere.

Okay, let's try to tell my story in short terms. 1. I am self taught. I can't read sheet music. So my 'instruments' are playing, trying, trying again, remembering, listening and feeling with my hands. It feels every day like you don't have progress but as you see, after years, there is progress indeed. And.. you develop an original style: it is you !
