about

some piano improvisations on a piano i met in the last week of august. i noticed the pedals had their own voices, so i inquired about it with the keys.

learning to share small moments, imperfect playings, the joys of being still and letting go.

recorded at a home in brooklyn, ny, with a lil microphone here or there — sometimes on the rack, sometimes at my feet
