Bio

I always wanted to write songs. I had a band in Poland called Dancing Dragon that was a bit Polish, a bit South African and a bit... whatever. My initial influences were undoubtely the music I'd been steeped in.. the "art music" of the twentieth century perhaps - or some of it, and Jazz - so when I came to try to write down what was in my head I had a hard time as I conjured up rhythms and harmonies beyond my own abilities.

We recorded a song called "I know people..." (featuring the voice of Kasia Silverman, with Piotr Czarnecki and Jarek Cieslak) an innocent-sounding song which definitely shows two main influences - minimalism and African music.

I added more Jazz in later songs - finding the chords on the piano rather than out of my head.
This is how I play piano - it's a kind of tactile relationship. I keep it fairly simple, focussing on playing chords like a guitarist which underpin the melody and keep the rhythm together. I also use a left hand style from time to time creating a kind of slap effect with my left hand thumb.

I'm only just starting to perform myself - previously I wrote for other singers, but this set has been written for my voice and my style of playing. I can perform alone or with a band. I also play trumpet (when with a band) and plan to start experimenting using loops onstage.

As well as writing songs like these I have other musical activities too. I play trumpet in kids theatre/processions/ceremonies (with Majical Youth) at festivals such as Sunrise festival, Buddhafield, Beautiful Days, and the Tribe of Doris. I started an ongoing project 2006t involving creating music (on the computer) in random locations with random people: a kind of "composer in residence" idea named The Myfanwy Project.

I've started putting my completed tracks on the website amazingtunes.com so a google of lizprice should turn up a lot of the recent stuff.
