Album Notes

The music on Corridor, which was written between 2009 and 2010,
combines material composed using musical processes and games -
different ways of building up, breaking down, transforming and
juxtaposing patterns - with improvised passages. Sometimes
improvisation is used for raw material. For example, "In rain and
light" is composed by looping and juxtaposing fragments drawn from one
short passage in a piano improvisation. Other pieces are wholly or
partially improvised, using a musical process or game for guidance, or
as a foil.

These pieces are connected to a breadth of minimal and ambient music
that I love, and sometimes also to the canons and melodies of
children's music. Since I am a pianist, pianos (more or less warped)
often appear as characters. And the music is generally very quiet. In
fact, two of the tracks ("Sleeping monsters lie" and "Zen baby") are
more or less lullabies - and those are the ones with the drums.

This album is dedicated to the memory of Marc Gaspard.
