A collection of solo piano improvisations.
Crux, the Southern Cross, is the smallest of all 88 constellations, and over most of Australia it's in the sky all year round. Its brightest star, Acrux, is a triple star 321 light years away. The tracks are named for the stars of the cross, including Mimosa.
Notes from Charlie: The same composition, recorded again and again over thirty years. Same piano, same pianist, different days, different ages. Compare the pair. All the way through, I treat the piano as what it really is: a percussion instrument.
Every piece in Constellation is an improvisation. Most came in the middle of scoring a film or working on something else, when I needed to stop and stretch out at the piano. 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.
