'Mays' (tribute to Lyle Mays) by Marek Pasieczny

With the modern piano technology now available (specifically the Yamaha Disclavier system), it is possible to record, in addition to the acoustic piano performance itself, other information about the notes played to a computer simultaneously. This allows the addition and shaping of the orchestration that accompany the acoustic piano after the fact. These orchestrations contain a new set of sounds taken from the piano itself, sounds which are transformed into dramatic effects that retain an organic connection to their source. The result: piano composition of the moment, combined with an expansive extra layer of musical orchestration that derives almost exclusively from the notes and textures of the initial piano performance. This system inspired me to compose a piece for piano and tape, where the tape part is not used as a background but provides the harmonic basis and possesses equal rights as an element in the music space. This is also my tribute to one of the greatest contemporary jazz musicians in my opinion - pianist and composer Lyle Mays.

thanks a lot for kind words. I love Mays's music especialy his solo project. That's why this work is based on some excerpts from Mays's works. Thanks again!
