‘Accentuated Music,’ is a series of seven pieces for solo piano composed in the spring of 2022. The title track is full of accented notes. Generally I rarely use accents or other common musical expression marks but this piece is full (though quite subtle). Music is a time-based art so ‘A waste of Time’ deals with that particular aspect of music

‘Accentuated Music,’ is a series of seven pieces for solo piano composed in the spring of 2022. The title track is full of accented notes. Generally I rarely use accents or other common musical expression marks but this piece is full (though quite subtle). Music is a time-based art so ‘A waste of Time’ deals with that particular aspect of music making. ‘Back in The Air’ was composed when finally after two years due to Covid restrictions I was able to book a flight. The left hand plays octave E flats throughout. ‘Non-Fungible Octaves’ was composed as a response to the rise in NFTs, which seem to offer artists a new revenue source but in reality is just another market manipulation with no artistic interest or integrity. As the title suggests the music is almost entirely composed of octaves. Sabina D'Orazi, is a friend of my wife who has been very helpful over recent months. ‘Empathy (For the People of Ukraine)’ was composed a couple of days after the Russian invasion after watching the tragic situation evolve. ‘The Reflective Tree of Hollow Ponds’ was composed after making a GIF of the reflections of the water on a tree in Hollow Ponds, Leytonstone, East London. The left hand is playing a solid four four, while the right hand plays in three four so the parts come together every twelve beats.
