It was very late at night, like midnight or one o&#8217;clock in the morning in a church sanctuary in Hesperia, CA. I recorded many improvisations on an old Chickering Grand piano and then selected my favorites for the album.<\/p>\n<p>To me, most of the songs on the album are true nocturnes. I think they are best to be listened to alone late at night. The listener can infuse the music with their own thoughts and recollections.<\/p>\n<p>Available on Itunes. After many years of living in China and not having my music available online I&#8217;m finally getting some of my library back up. I hope people enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you also to Deb Carole who was with me at this original recording session at the church. She gave me insight as to what she thought worked and didn&#8217;t work. And gave me inspiration to stay awake because we recorded for many hours. Thanks Deb!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lTdRupBmZAw My Nocturne #6 from the album &#8220;Piano Nocturnes Conrad Askland&#8221;.
