The Arlen Hartcast

A blustery windy day here on the cusp between winter and spring. So it felt right to use the "soft" pedal on the piano and play with the intention of keeping a peaceful balance amidst the winds of changes shift.

Cozy improvised piano on a chilly rainy day in Brooklyn.

A piano improvsiation from a windy day in Brooklyn. Found some interesting places in there today and shared one of my poems.

a new year, a new improvisation, this one has an original composition titled "Father Seas" which is on my album "Growing Younger" released Oct. 2024.

Music that feels like holiday music but isnt. Today's journey is an improvisation featuring a couple of my original compositions that I wrote for a holiday theater piece. I tried to play in a way that still carried the spirit of the holidays without actually playing any holiday songs. So if you dont feel like hearing all the same songs again and again, but want to keep the general mood of the season, give it a spin.

December 10th, 2024. Another full improvisation today. This was my first day back at my piano after being away, so it's a bit of getting reacquainted while exploring. Enjoy!
