Stage 6 Part 1, 2 and 3
Bart Flos: ‘Somewhere in 2013 — unfortunately I can’t recall the exact moment or month but by logical deduction I’m pretty sure I started the whole thing in that particular year — I started working on a new Jazz Suite that I named Roots & Reflections, as part of Stage 6 of the NextSteps Series Projects’.
‘By the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019 I had composed 32 songs and I decided that was quite enough to work with. Parts 1, 2 and 3 of Stage 6 materialized in my head and gained traction. From the main package of 32 songs I recorded 24 concept working audio files to translate into sheet music (Stage 6 Part 1), recorded various parts of the Jazz Suite as solo pianist (Stage 6 Part 2h) with the goal to ultimately select and record 12 compositions as acoustic jazz trio (Stage 6 Part 3).’
Stage 7
For Stage 7 of the NextSteps Series Projects I’m currently entertaining ideas to take the initiatives of Stage 6 to the next level in 2021. Let’s leave it at that for now because you must always have to have something to look forward to, wouldn’t you agree? Stay tuned!
Connections
When you are ‘wandering through’ my website you will find out that I am constantly seeking contact with other musicians. Before I started my solo projects I have played as a pianist in lots of different combinations of musicians. Following that period, my last CD productions where based on the idea to develop my musical interests from within myself. I have tried to accomplish this by performing solo, using state of the art digital technology in which I am offered the chance to play different instruments simultaneously. Based on this last work I am now seeking other musicians to join in and to combine my ideas with their inspiration, starting with Part 3 of Stage 6.
I hope you will enjoy this part of my website. Maybe it will inspire you to create your own world of music or to join yours with mine and who knows, maybe we’ll meet someday?
