Mr Edwards

I’m a composer, pianist and keyboard-player living in Liverpool. As you can see in the ‘Influences’ section, mine are a pretty schizophrenic mixture. As a result you’d find me either improvising piano solos, writing beautifully carved melodies or taking sounds, tweaking them out of their tiny minds, feeding them into a sampler and creating weird and wonderful shaped compositions, depending on what day it is.Latterly, I’ve managed to become totally focussed on going back to basics, which means back to the piano. For years, I’d sit doodling in search of the Big Idea. Eventually (and, it has to be admitted, a few Big Ideas later), I realised that the ‘doodles’ were the music, especially as they were becoming tighter, much more accomplished and exhilarating to play.The first results can be heard on my new CD ‘Sunday Afternoon On My Back’ They’re entirely improvised pieces with a slight aroma of Debussy, that fell out of me after a particularly chilled out interlude in Marbury Country Park, near Northwich in Cheshire.I’m going to do some live gigs as soon as I find some venues that will have me. And I’d like to play with some like-minded musicians and see what comes out with a view to taking it much further, if anyone in MySpace-land is interested…….
