Moving Pictures

What an experience to play Moving Pictures for piano and film earlier this year!  I created the films last summer while holidaying in Scotland, then composed the music to fit.  It seemed that the various contrasting scenes were best accompanied by a wealth of different added-note triads and polychords, while the sepia tone that I used to edit the films contributed to an atmosphere similar to the old silent movies.  During the concert in Akron, I sat at the piano with my laptop, and projected the films onto the TV screens at the back of the recital hall.  The audience seemed to love it!  For this recording, I played the music first, then re-edited the film to fit the performance.
