First “Perpetual Motion Etudes” Review

Mar 27, 2020

The first review of my “Perpetual Motion Etudes” album is from infodad.com(yep, apparently this is a legit site that reviews music). Infodad gave it 3 out of 4 stars and wrote:

“Siskind is a very fine pianist and a strong advocate for his own music.

The pieces on this disc are… akin to miniature tone poems, each deploying the piano in the service of three-and-a-half to six minutes of expressive portraiture. Siskind brings them to life through his committed performances, with the result that the CD will be a particular pleasure for those interested in Siskind as pianist.”

So. Much. Going. On.

Sep 20, 2019

There’s an awful lot of good stuff happening!

I just returned from a week-long trip in Kansas and Missouri. It was huge! I performed all 9 of my Perpetual Motion Etudes twice with students and faculty from University of Central Missouri and University of Kansas. I also got to do a jazz recital at KU, a house concert in Kansas City, 3 pedagogy presentations, a talk to the Kansas City Music Teachers Association, a jazz masterclass, and so much more!

Next up is a week with vocalist Lauren Kinhan, best known for her work with the New York Voices (but who also has had a stellar solo recording output). We’ll be performing all around the Pacific Northwest, mostly as part of Nich Anderson’s amazing JazzVox series. Check the calendar for more details.

In November, the main event is a Portugal-Spain tour with saxophonist Andrew Rathbun. We’ll be playing his Juno-nominated music from Atwood Suites as well as our own Debussy Improvisations.

Keep your eyes peeled for announcements of exciting concerts and collaborations in the Spring – I’ve got some fun things in the works!

Perpetual Motion Etudes Book & Recording – My Dream Project is Live!

Jul 13, 2019

My Perpetual Motion Etudes started as a dream.

Two years ago, I had the vision to compose and record virtuoso piano pieces that would be beautiful and daring, technical yet expressive, instructive and evocative.

Since then, I’ve spent hundreds of hours composing, practicing, editing, and recording nine outlandish new solo piano pieces, my Perpetual Motion Etudes.

I’m thrilled to finally be able to share the beginnings of this project with you.
