These works were born out of a transitional period in my life. My friend Pablo moved to another neighborhood in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and I was also moving out of my apartment in Astoria. Pablo was a fan of experimental film and a fervent reader of Heidegger at the time. Our friendship motivated me to continue my exploration of experimental keyboard improvisation. “Secret Land” and “Jamming with Pablo in Bushwick” are two rare recordings of my live improv performance in collaboration with other musicians. “Demo For Pablo No.2” is the shortest work I have ever made, in which I created a complex narrative within less than 30 seconds. “After the Rain” is a highly emotional and moving masterpiece. In “Mastema”, I sampled one of John Zorn’s compositions, and transformed it by incorporating elements of Hip Hop and digital synth into the mix.
