Arpeggiando: 7 Piano Figurations

  • Overview: This collection of instrumental tracks functions as a cohesive suite of arpeggiated, neoclassical, and ambient electronic compositions that showcase deep exploration into modal movement, textural layering, and alternative tonal palettes.

  • Musical Architecture: The pieces are unified by a heavy reliance on continuous, cascading arpeggios and intricate counterpoint figures, drawing structural inspiration from Baroque keyboard techniques—such as Bach's contrapuntal flow and Vivaldi's driving ritornello pulses—filtered through modern digital processing and spatial effects. They also integrate the clean, functional harmony and transparent phrasing characteristic of Classical era writing by Mozart and early Beethoven.

  • Why are they called Figuratons: In musical composition and theory, a figuration (or melodic figuration) refers to the ornamental or decorative elaboration of a melody, chord, or harmony. It involves taking chord tones or scale steps and turning them into active, rhythmic patterns—such as the continuous, cascading arpeggios, broken chords, and patterned motifs found throughout these tracks.
