Hide and Seek The piano is the first instrument I started playing when I was seven and it’s like I’ve spent the whole of my life playing piano. During Covid I thought it was about time that I made an album of piano pieces but this time I wanted the compositions to be more considered rather than purely improvised which I had done before. I started composing with my ivory piano software and was able to do lots of editing to the pieces and experiment with arrangements. I was pleased and had the work mastered and pressed some vinyl and I thought that was gonna be it. Then at Steinway‘s in London they kindly let me spend a day with a Spirio piano in their showroom. I brought my laptop and ran the IVORY compositions through the piano and was blown away with the possibilities of this modern-day player piano. So you have two versions of these compositions: PIANO COMPOSED IVORY on vinyl and PIANO COMPOSED SPIRIO available on CD and now streaming services.
