MUN (The Imagination)

Taken from the album "Randolf Smeets - Works for Piano", released 15 December 2012.

“Mun (The Imagination)” begins with a quiet ascending eighth note passage interjected with subtle block jazz chords followed by a simplistic single note arpeggiated phrase repetitively rising and falling. A quarter note triplet segues into the next portion of the song where rapid flourishes dance around the keyboard over a chiming pedal tone. Smeets’ playing is not only creative, but deliberate. His improvisations are evidentially well thought out with the time signature and tempo ingrained in his mind, rallentandos included, making his works sound more credible.
