Liner Notes
When I started working on my album Piano Opus in the summer of 2008, I didn’t have the faintest idea what I wanted to compose. This being my thirteenth album, I found it challenging to write something fresh. I listened to many other composers in an effort to spark inspiration. I was surprised by how many albums lose their appeal after the first few songs. So I set out to create a solo piano album that can keep the listener’s interest all the way through. I found that one of the main reasons so many other composers’ songs sounded similar was that they were written in the same time signatures. Most music is written in 4/4 or 3/4 time. So I set out to write a song in complex time. I chose 5/4 for my first attempt. I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to play in 5/4, let alone compose in it. I carried on my experiment for a couple of months until I composed the song titled Wind. After the exhausting work of composing in 5/4 I tried to go back to composing in common time (4/4 or 3/4), but I now felt more comfortable writing in complex time. So I continued my complex time adventure and wrote an additional song in 5/4, then three in 7/8 and one in 11/8. I was having so much fun that I often wondered if others would think that I was off my rocker. I hope you think I’m still rocking. : ) The sheet music for this album is available on my website if you feel up to the challenge. Brian
Brian Crain is incredible!
I first heard of Brian Crain while going through some of the music channels on the cable box. It was on the channel entitled "Soundscapes" haha. The song 'Rain' was playing and my boyfriend and I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. So we texted each other while sitting there, all the needed info so we could find it again! I'm broke as hell and can't buy the whole album yet, but I definitely recommend this artist. You know you've done a great job when you can connect people emotionally to your art. Well done! I love it! I will be using several of these songs in my upcoming dance production!
Amazing!
The pieces are all lovely, though Rain, Snow, Wind and Water are probably my favorites. This is wondeful to listen to if you're studying.
