about

I recently came across a number of "abandoned" recordings on my old macbook. These are tracks or sketches dating back to various periods (from around 2018 to 2020) and they all have piano as their main audio source.
The original recordings (some previously dubbed on tape) were then heavily processed in Ableton Live and recently reworked to make them (more or less) consistent with each other.

The result is in some way a collection of raw sounding sketches which, however, well represent my interest at that time in creating an opus starting only from piano sounds and loops. Only a few processed field recordings have been added (however recorded by acting on the body of the piano) and just a touch of Minibrute on track 2 and Volca FM on track 3.
