SOLO PIANO 2 on hold, also composition is wild

I’ve been dead set on releasing a sequel to SOLO PIANO, but I think it’s not going to happen (at least for now).

The original was sort of a low-effort experiment to test side releases on Bandcamp Fridays and music outside my normal genre in the Spotify algorithm. It was useful to prove out that little BC releases do work, and that genre niches are real on Spotify (a few tracks got playlisted nicely but didn’t grow my listeners sustainably at all because I don’t only release piano music).

So no more piano singles to exploit the Spotify algorithm. Not worth it.

As a fun Bandcamp release? Maybe. But something else fascinating happened - the newer short piano pieces I’ve put together have transformed into source material for LP4. They’re now the basis for nearly half the album. Not something I expected to happen! Composing music is wild.

So now I’m thinking that these little piano pieces are bonus material / sneak peeks to LP4. I’ll be posting them as teasers over the coming months (& releasing in full to my patrons). Here’s one, (currently) titled “nocturne 2”:
