Undercurrent by Peter Chilvers

Shadowplay is a five part series of animated instrumental improvisations by musician and software designer Peter Chilvers, due for release on 1st November.

Unique software was designed to create visuals for each piece in realtime as they were played.

Undercurrent was recorded immediately after the Shadowplay sessions. Although darker in tone, it gives a hint of the mixture of improvised piano and electronics to come.
