Haiku and New Age Piano

I've always been drawn to art forms that are simple, yet elegant. Haiku, for example, is such an art form. A few lines, a few syllables are all that is needed to transport one into right-brain mode. In fact, it's amazing that so little can lead to so much! Evoking mental imagery, a haiku poem not only takes you into what the writer sees in mind, it also leaves you with an emotional connection. Brief like a sunset, it's fleeting beauty is appreciated, then gone.

New Age piano is similar to Haiku in this respect. A few notes and chords are all that is needed to transport one into a world where words no longer have any meaning. And like a Haiku, we are satisfied for that brief interval in time.
