Background

The ideas for the pieces were formed through improvisation and extensive note-taking of melodies and other musical ideas over years. His previous experience with jazz is noticeable, and some critics still compared him to Erik Satie. Four tracks, "White Keys", "Kenaston", "Othello" and "Train of Thought", were also recorded for "Pianovision" videos on YouTube and Vimeo, which give the viewer a top-down perspective of Chilly Gonzales' performance on the piano. Chilly Gonzales regularly allows his audience to closely watch him playing, as was the case for his first Solo Piano album tour, where a video camera directly above him projected his playing to a large screen that the audience can see.
