Regeneration1 from ReGenerationx [Ø] by Istvan Peter B'Racz

Come sound-travel with me.

Put some headphones on for 6 minutes.
Close your eyes, and explore with me.
From the mellow to the hectic…

a FIVE-note dice-rolled theme explored:
B-flat, D, E-flat, C, A.

Pure improvisation based on the starting material,
listening and reacting to the sound of the new instrument.

I explored long sustaining tones, various clusters, low supporting fundamentals, wider chords and harmonies, as well as hectic passages.

I deeply love the sound of this new (for me) Mason & Hamlin BB 7 foot piano. It is a dream come true for me to finally have such an instrument.

from ReGenerationx [Ø], track released September 17, 2024
Recorded live in the Dungeon, in Hamden CT 2024

This first recording was done with a matched pair of ADK Lolly mics, into an Apollo into MOTU's Digital Performer (DP). A little hall reverb was added, tiny adjustment to panning, and nothing else, no eq no other processing. I'd love to hear what you think. I'm just happy to be able to play again.

I'm thankful that Larry Villella talked me into buying a matched pair of his ADK microphones- they sound wonderful.

Thanks to ALL the wonderful people who donated via my GoFundMe to make this piano play so beautifully. It's still a work in progress, but it is getting better each time.

Thanks to Ken Huebner for his excellent work replacing the action with carbon fiber parts, and all new hammers.

Thanks to Linda Hinz who introduced me to Ken.

Thanks to all my social media friends, who were so supportive during those time.

THANK YOU to my wonderful family. Without your love, patience and support, none of this would have happened.

And last but certainly NOT least, MASSIVE thank you to my beloved sweet darling Lydia, my Much Better Half, who has helped me get through this. She is the foundation, the core. She is simply THE BEST.
