Improvisation (Lullaby) [disquiet0250] by telechir

This is a single take of a piano improvisation. Something I've been doodling with for this project over the weekend.

I grew up with a piano in the house, and when I left home, I've never had a full-sized instrument in the house - I had a full-size midi keyboard for a bit, and then I didn't again. Last month, around my 34th birthday, I bought a 73-note stage piano. I've been playing it ever since.

I think I still, deep down, amidst the audio and electronics, identify as a piano player. It's been nice remembering feelings in my fingers and body: the piano is such a bodily instrument.

Anyway: I do not have children. But if I did, I'd welcome them into the world with a piano. The piano doesn't live in the studio or study; it's in the living room. It's a social instrument; music is love. And if I had children, I'd play to them; play for them. There's so much richness in all those strings (virtual or not); so much to say with 88 keys.

I treat Junto not as a way to show _finished_ pieces, but as a way to _start_ pieces. And thus: there are mistakes, there's a clipping error. But there's also something in here, I think. And so: a single take, just audio, and then light mastering and effects.

Goddamn it, babies, you've got to be kind.
