Next Solo Piano Album...
I'm in the midst of writing, arranging and recording new piano music for my next piano album. A different project from my other solo piano albums. This is my first album ever that is improvisational in nature.
With my previous solo piano albums, I wanted to challenge myself as a composer and a player. I worked deliberately, with purpose and determination. In that, I accomplished what I set out to do.When I sat down to begin work for this next album (Release January 14th, 2025), I tried this same approach. This time, however, I utterly failed. I didn't have the energy to take on such a task. I was tired, worn out, restless, and the songwriting process was a continuous struggle. I realized the only way I could possibly move forward was to STOP STRIVING. And so... I did. I stopped trying to be "musically clever," stopped overthinking and learned, once again, to just rest at the piano. Once I stopped trying and started trusting, the music began to flow. Easily... like a river running through me. That's what led me here… into the soft light of grace... and to this miracle of an album.
