At (ir)regular intervals, I aim to share my thoughts on music, particularly my endeavours to craft it. It would be a pleasure if you could peruse the blog periodically to discover the latest developments. I would be even more elated if my improvisations and music find favour with you, prompting regular listenership.
Contemporary times call for a blog offering insights and background into my musical pursuits. This encompasses my interest in music, with a specific focus on the challenges and potentials encountered while cultivating my distinct expression and sound at the piano, particularly during moments of improvisation. Furthermore, I aspire to encapsulate the memories that preoccupy my mind during the composition of musical pieces.
Expressing musical experiences through the written word proves to be a formidable task for me. There exists a ponderous inability to convey in words what I often lack, but rather experience through feelings, impressions, recollections, images, associations, aromas, hues, and fragrances – an entire spectrum that either constitutes or is evoked by music. Essentially, this involves a self-perception within the music and a transcendent self-perception that extends beyond it.
Consequently, words often prove inadequate when attempting to articulate the profound nature of musical expression, transcending the limitations of language. Music demands direct experience, and endeavouring to encapsulate this through words often feels like a feeble replication of the profound essence that defies verbal portrayal.
Simultaneously, the exploration of music through written reflections underscores the junctures at which music surpasses the linguistic domain, revealing an aspect that I perceive as the quintessence of music – pure sound (occasionally just a surge) that physically transcends, alluding to something simultaneously material and ideal, corporeal and spiritual. Music, in my view, constructs structures that defy conventional logic and causality, yet paradoxically always encompass them. Ultimately, music embodies both paradox and logic, delineating physical, emotional, and spiritual experiences while harmonising them within the dimension of time.
As I share these reflections, my hope is that they resonate with you, serving as a bridge between the ineffable language of music and the tangible world of words.
