Maybe I should say a little about the process of doing this. I like this idea of conversation instead of rehearsed speech. I am writing a piano cycle right now, and have pages of themes and ideas. These themes and ideas serve as the topics of conversation of this work. Everything was done in one take. Im also enjoying this idea that in conversation, we aren't bothered by minor mistakes. There are a few in this album. But it didn't bother me with this, if there were major mistakes, I would have done another take. But if I were to do a Mozart Sonata or the Messiaen regards, I would consider them a rehearsed speech or ritual... and would make sure there are no technical errors. Also, about the tuning. There are a few moments where key notes are out of tune. I hate to make an excuse, but I was rather impatient when tuning the piano this time around. I tune a lot of pianos, and at the moment I was in the spirit and just eager to record... and not be bothered with the tedious and annoying business of tuning.
Let me know if you folks have any question!
