about

"There is a Japanese visual art in which the artist is forced to be spontaneous. He must paint on a thin stretched parchment with a special brush and black water paint in such a way that an unnatural or interrupted stroke will destroy the line or break through the parchment. Erasures or changes are impossible. These artists must practice a particular discipline, that of allowing the idea to express itself in communication with their hands in such a direct way that deliberation cannot interfere. The resulting pictures lack the complex composition and textures of ordinary painting, but it is said that those who see well find something captured that escapes explanation." Bill Evans

"Piano Improvisations" has been selfpublished for the first time in very few copies in 2008. After six years I discovered there is still a lot of music that moves me in this album.I decided to reedit this music cleaning a little bit the sound and taking off two improvisations that haven't stood the passage of time.

All the music improvised by Carlo Mezzino during 2008 and home recorded on a Roland digital piano Ep880.
