Sleepless Night

The “Sleepless” series was originally a three piece suite I wrote during my fifth attempt at piano lessons after my last piano teacher was locked up for abusing pain meds and having too many cats. I spent some time learning to play the Bach Inventions and I was inspired to attempt writing my own pieces. Originally these were named the Painter Inventions but I felt like this was a little presumptuous. I spent many nights when I should have been studying, writing papers or sleeping working on these songs. Several times the sleep deprivation started getting to my head and then some awesomeness might have happened and I don’t really remember writing some parts -so these songs turned into the “Sleepless Suite.”
