Noir Reverie No. 5 | Seneka Abeyratne | Improvisations for the digital piano

Описание: The Noir Reverie cycle explores states of mental wandering where attention loosens and memory drifts without purpose. These piano improvisations do not seek development, resolution, or narrative clarity. Instead, they unfold as fleeting impressions—thoughts half-formed, emotions unfixed, time softened. Reveries are not nocturnes, and they are not fantasias. They do not inhabit night as awareness, nor do they follow thought in motion. They exist prior to decision, where listening itself becomes unstructured and momentary.
Performed and composed by Seneka Abeyratne ([email protected])
Genre: Classical – Impressionist – Free Jazz – Noir
Instrument: Yamaha Digital Piano
Noir Reverie No. 5: Remaining without Asking
Drift becomes natural. By this point, listening no longer feels deliberate. Ideas recur softly, time loosens, and silence becomes breathable rather than disruptive. The music does not develop or insist; it simply continues, and the listener continues with it. Remaining without Asking settles into immersion—not as depth or drama, but as ease. One forgets why one is listening, and remains.
Noir Reveries – Where attention loosens (12 tracks).
About the artist: Seneka Abeyratne, a retired Sri Lankan economist, has numerous creative interests, including writing (fiction/drama), photography, digital art, dancing (ballet/contemporary), choreography (classical-contemporary), and seeking beauty in dissonance via solo piano improvisations (noir classical/noir free jazz). He is a widely published author and winner of three prestigious local literary awards, including the Gratiaen Prize. His evocative, digitally altered images have been exhibited in Sri Lanka and France. Whether through word, image, or sound, his art remains an exploration of introspection — an unhurried dialogue between shadow and soul.
