I just had a delightful discovery yesterday. I found a new instrument that works perfectly with my past performance of a set of improvisations while watching some Bach pieces. Wow, a mouthful there. I have a recording of a performance called Corales. They sound beautiful (a kind of 18th century meets the 21st century) using this hybrid piano/harpsichord instrument I designed for these pieces yesterday. Its main component is derived from a Johann Schantz design.
The "while watching" concept is something that's come up quite a bit in this blog, and in my recordings. I was looking through some Bach Chorales and improvising in the style somewhat, ornaments, contrapuntal, progression, etc. I just coined it my back to the future sound!
I'm trying to make this album available on this site by the end of the day. I'm dealing with getting it all right, and some technical issues but I'm determined to get this up here soon.
Then there's videos!
