Re: Re-Reintroducing Piano Diaries

Back in 2009, I had a failed internet startup. Didn’t everybody?

Actually, it hadn’t failed yet, but in retrospect, it was doomed to do so for at least three reasons:

1. A corrupt or at least mildly dishonest partner
2. Too complex design (my fault)
3. An idea that was too deep and big for the technology of the time (internet standards of the time’s fault)

Why do I mention this? Because the first iteration of Piano Diaries was on that platform, MusicOnlineAlive. The concept of Piano Diaries was simple: improvise something on a regular basis; write a few words about what I improvise, or just what I was thinking about.

Every few years, I come back to the project. Usually when I’m in the middle of a major project (as I am right now) and need a diversion from it.

You can listen to the complete and growing album on Bandcamp:

Ironically, as soon as it became clear to me that my internet startup wouldn’t make it, I put all of my recorded music on Bandcamp, which was our chief competitor. Oh, well.

(It’s also available on Soundcloud, but for some reason, I can’t embed the full album here. But you can find all of my public SC albums here.)

So here we go again and again and again.
