Piano Meditations Podcast Blake Rowe

Thank you for listening. This week I was exploring the dynamic between structure and spontaneity, with the intention to be more towards the spontaneous and not worry about coming back to a theme or feeling the need to provide contrasting sections, etc. 

Tonight's music is dedicated to the memory of my dad who just passed away. The music had some intended feelings and/or memories, but also unconcious connections or associations. 

This episode was recorded in CA at the community center on September 13th, where we had the memorial service for my father two days later. You can hear the pedal squeaking a bit, but I think it still came out very nicely. It was impossible to upload it to the podcast until we came home. You just can't move 45 minutes of audio through the free wifi at Super 8...

It's nice to be playing at home again on the Steinway Model B. Tonight we had hints of Debussy, Pachelbel, a touch of Spain and maybe Dr. John! Enjoy.
