…about the concept for fairytaleThe initial idea to do a duo album came after hearing and playing with my friend Aaron Kurziki. We play in several other bands together, and that is how we initially met. I right away knew that I wanted to do a project on my own with him, since I really liked his pure sound and his ability to interact. Around that time, which is a year and half ago, I was really getting into playing duos, because, first I felt it was a great challenge, and that the interaction is so intense, since there are only two people. There is not a whole group to focus on but only basically one person. You really have to listen to that other person while you play, and try to interact with him, almost becoming each other. It is like a conversation, but on a very intense level, I do not know if I actually would be able to do that on a spoken/oral level. And Aaron is so amazing at this, and the message is so clear, that I thought, we do not need more than two people playing the music. It helps making the compositions crystal clear, and nothing overshadows them.on writing and composing…Most of the pieces I wrote around the same time. I did not need a long time to write them, they just came out naturally. Only two pieces, I wrote a year before, and it took me way longer to achieve them, which are "Raindrops" and "Dayminder". There is no specific reason, why some compositions take longer than others to write. And it does not even justify the quality of the piece. Some great pieces can be written in 5 minutes, others you need a year. Sometimes it is good to write fast, but sometimes taking your time is good too because you challenge yourself with more possibilities, and with more choices, and you learn that way and improve your compositional instinct. Composition is difficult to explain, to learn or to teach. I think you have to listen to many great composers from any time and culture. And we study it in schools too. But in the end I just believe mainly in compositional instincts. Knowing how to develop an idea. That is very difficult to do. Many people have great ideas, but do not know what to do with them or develop them. That is the actual craft, and that is what makes the difference between a great composer and a poor one. My writing has evolved a lot, since studying composition at Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory of Music. I love composers like Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Ravel, Debussy, Stravinsky and Charles Ives, and of course all the Jazzers. My favorites are Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk. At the moment I really love checking out the great brasilian composer and multi instrumentalist Egberto Gismonti. He has been a big influence on me. My piano teachers, Ran Blake and Danilo Perez have also influenced me greatly, musically and spiritually.In the end, I think though that the compositions almost already exist somewhere (often, maybe not always...:)) it is just a matter of finding them. It is like they are flying around in space waiting to be discovered...…about the musicMy favorite pieces on the album are probably Fairytale, Adventurer in Search Of a Treasure and Raindrops. Raindrops is in my opinion by far the most exquisite piece. Melodically and harmonically, the most complicated too, and original. The form is special too.Fairytale reflects what I felt from the start. I did not want to do a normal duo album with some hot Jazz... ...
