Motivation by Simon Nabatov
„Motivation“ is my first attempt to come up with an entire program of pieces for piano and live electronics. It has a suite-like form, with certain motives reoccurring throughout.
The dialogue between solo piano and electronics also concentrates on the motivic aspects of the material, at times more so than on the sonic aspects - hence the title of the album.
