about

I winged the piano improv for the second half, which I called "Oasis". This is meant to reflect escapism, which is what I felt when I played it. After I recorded it, and my mood started to lighten up a few days later, I tried to re-approach it, because I knew it was rather sloppy, and I wanted to add more structure and discipline to it, but each time I tried, I felt too disconnected from it, and any attempts just made it worse, and got rid of the feeling behind it. I decided to just leave it as it was, as I felt I captured what I felt at that moment, and the sloppy playing is just a part of it. As Igor Stravinsky might say, "I don't want the sound of someone playing the passage. I want the sound of someone trying to play it."
