The PianoLog Files

Stefan Hetzel's Original Piano Music for General MIDI

Concept

What are PianoLogs? Well, you all know what WebLogs are: personal comments on more or less important topics, published on the web for immediate consumation. The Blog concept enables the (technically skilled) Web user to «shoot back». S/He is now able to comment on the flood of information that s/he is exposed to all day. By doing so, the Web user becomes a more active part of the information process, his/her EGO comes into play. PianoLogs are pieces of piano music that were created on a specific day. The basic material is improvised. The resulting MIDI data is recorded on a sequencer, where I do some post-production work (mainly cutting out redundancies and trying to "sharpen the image"). I invite you to hear these compositions as a musical WebLog, as a poetic comment on information. Meta-information, if you like. The music is free, but licensed.
