‘continuum’ solo piano series

Fulfilling a lifelong dream, in 1999 I inaugurated the ‘continuum’ concert series. These solo concerts are fully improvised, long format live performances drawing on jazz, classical and New Age influences. The listener is invited to join in a remarkable journey, a leap of faith…

I am interested in exploring the possibility of tapping into a musical flow – a continuum - which is ‘out there’ somewhere, and happening all the time, continuously… It just needs people – performers and listeners willing to collaborate in bringing something magical about, to bring it to life. As much as possible without being neurotic about it, I try to approach the piano with nothing pre-conceived at all in terms of what I am going to play. The results are invariably surprising to me, both musically – I frequently have no idea how I am actually able to play what comes out – and in terms of their intensity and emotional directness.

I attribute a great deal of this to the energy and focus of a live audience, who participate in and are a vital part of the experience and thus, of the music itself. Hearing them recorded is one step removed from this immediacy, but hopefully some of it comes through…
