untitled (2)
the opening piano riff from Billy Joel's "Piano Man" was looping, over and over again, in a way that truncated the end of the (almost) 2 bar loop, completely changing the characteristics and meaning of the sound. My mind naturally and ably fills in the blanks that aren't even implied, really, detailing Billy's voice and the progression of the song after that loop. My mind tries to finish the looped part of the riff so it makes sense to my previous understanding of that information, and then I take over and relax and bathe in the sound. Dehh, da da da dehh. I start treating the loop as its own composition, hearing it's odd meter and cheerful clanging. I'm drumming on my knee now, fast asymmetrical rhythms, freeing the piano up in my mind. I'm now in dialogue with this music, creating and nurturing change, shaping it into composition. I hope to god no one ever records this.
