Ex Nihilo

Last night in the studio was that magic moment where composition, improvisation, and the joy of music collide. After doing some piano sound design, I started developing ideas for our next solo piano track. Some high piano flourishes establish the piece, then a melody slowly develops. The solo ideation phase is a beautiful creative moment as we bring ideas to reality. For me, it’s bringing the ideas of a cold and brittle, yet comforting and nostalgic piano to life, hoping to stretch the listener in their ability to reflect and wonder. Sometimes the thought of a blank canvas can be intimidating, but with this piece, creating ex nihilo is as much a joy as it is fuel for my soul. I hope it’s the same for you. Happy creating.
