Strongly defined, grounded piano, with a sonorous string melodic overlay, the two independent lines held in thrall in an aural counterpoint between the keyboard’s rhythmic command and the suspended string line. An almost brooding quality, its more “lifted” moments invoking introspection, shifting into a discord of the heart.

I just now listened to Miroirs – Le Piano Bleu. The kinetic feeling for me is that of a dreamer’s walk that, at the turn of some corner, becomes a troubled run toward something, curiously the “something” being troubling. This pattern recurring randomly as its narrative flow. (I’m a writer, not a musician, so cannot speak of the piece’s technical musicality.) The two visuals I get are of a dimly lit alleyway, a streetlight at its end. And of a night-shadowed room, bare and empty, washed-out moonlight illuminating a square of wall, a patch of floor. A psycho-dynamic, psycho-acoustic composition.

Great stuff JC.

Couple of places remind of a Chopin Ballade I once knew.

Keep the ending gentle I think.

Two thumbs up.

I convert good music into movement in my head and asap I do it with the body in the space…yes…this is good , I like it…a great gamut of tones and delicious strong and soft harmonies…..a good emotional aspect that can be interpreted openly and subjectibly as all great art.

I like it Jesus, and it sounds like a good choice for a 2nd movement of a 3 movement suite? KOOL~ Danzable..( all music is danzable but not to me)

I could eloquently write words that could make a great statement about Jesus work however I rather write some feeling because I convert all music I like into movement in my head an as siin as possible in the space and body….so this is delicious….I can imagine it as a 2ns movement of three…..strong…soft, not long….like it….YES…I like it! it is danzable { ( all music is danzable, but not to me…:) }

Psh, generative music is sooo 2001. Autechre’s Confield did this the best it ever can be done. Now let’s start making our own beats.

Also, without some kind of explanation as to how this was generated (what algorithms did you use for each part? how many seed values did you need? etc), it’s kind of a “meh” post.

A wonderful revision Jesus….it is exquisite… would love to have some dancers, a studio and hands to work….would be awesome…it is already by itself, but add movement and theater to it…uffffffffffffffffffffffffff…GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! such a chaos and yet there are parts were one can be the witness of all…………………..
