Solo piano, volumes 1 + 2

I put out two collections of piano music. They’re on Bandcamp right now.

A few months ago on a Friday night, I went down to my basement and impulsively recorded 10 or so pieces of piano music. Some were me riffing on Kid Lightbulbs songs, a couple were totally improvised, a few were revisitations of old ideas I’d laid dormant for over a decade.

I was so happy with how they came out that I played them for my wife and daughter a few days later, and it served as perfect “winding down” music for before my daughter’s bedtime. Might as well post them for others to enjoy and wind down to as well.

I’ve released the set in two separate volumes, six pieces each. Both are meant as Bandcamp exclusives. The second volume is for this coming Bandcamp Friday (10/4), but I’m posting it a few days early. I’m too happy about it not to share.

Each volume is available on Bandcamp for listening or purchase:

• Volume 1
• Volume 2

I will also be releasing an abridged set of pieces to the streaming services, called SOLO PIANO SAMPLER (pun intended for music tech nerds), on October 11.

You may notice some subtle references to other Kid Lightbulbs songs in the titles of a few of them. Several are reinterpretations / deconstructions of songs – in particular, “trendsetters”, “curiosity”, “hopefully”, “lashing out!!!!!!”, “the worst days of our lives” and “sleepwalking again” are represented in some form in these pieces. There are also a few pieces that tease material for my upcoming third album (though that will remain a secret for now).

I hope you enjoy 😄
