I wrote this sonata sometime between 2021 and 2022 for my album #the2022recital. It draws from a chaotic yet affectionate mix of influences—jazz, techno, English Lutenists, Impressionism—and from non-musical muses like Kerouac’s On the Road.

I never really planned on making the score public, so the engraving is, let’s say, *interpretative*. The piece itself is a bit of a wild card—somewhere between a sonata and a fantasy, with ideas leaping over each other in ways that feel both inevitable and unpredictable to me. Whether that works or not, I leave to the listener.

As a pianist, I tend to resist a strict, literal reading of the score, and the dynamics in this recording reflect that (for better or worse). But I like to think of it as a snapshot of creativity during the Covid years—when we all had to get inventive in bringing our art to audiences shut behind their doors. To illustrate this thought further, I can’t recall another time I recorded a piano piece barefoot. So for this video, I decided to use this specific recording exactly as it was, in all its original, unfiltered energy.
