Camelopardalis (Constellation 47)

A$8.88

A collection of solo piano improvisations.

Camelopardalis, the giraffe, is a large but faint northern constellation, named for a camel's long neck and a leopard's spots.

Notes from Charlie: Camelopardalis, the giraffe: an ironic name for an album that is a single track of over twenty-six minutes. Above the trees, looking down the river, I got lost in the instrument. The piano was well out of tune, which gave it a strange new complexity. Music floating in the clouds, pushed along by nature.

Every piece in Constellation is a solo piano improvisation. Most came in the middle of scoring a film or working on some other curious project, when I needed to stop, breathe, and let my hands go wandering across the keys. Recorded across more than 25 years, they were released as 52 collections, one a week through 2023, each following the night sky. Every track is named for a star. 433 improvisations, around 30 hours of music. Creativity is infinite.
