Charlie Chan - Piano Vodcast - 15 July 2015
'I love improvising on the piano. I do it because its physical, mental and connects me to how I am feeling. I don't really rehearse any of my improvisations. They are made up on the spot. I might cheat a bit by trying a few ideas before I start a recording session but honestly the compositions simply make their way out out to the keyboard and sometimes its a lovely surprise to me as well! My earliest memories are of singing to my cat and playing a neighbours piano - I was 3. Music has been my entire life.' Charlie Chan Charlie Chan is an Australian composer, pianist, multi-instrumentalist & recording artist. She has written soundtracks, scores & themes for feature films, TV series & theatre productions, is sought after as a public speaker on composition & digital innovation topics plus also records and composes solo piano compositions.
