A new interview just published! I enjoyed answering these interview questions for the Aldora Britain Records E-Zine about my last two original albums "Straylight" and "Let Go" and a bit about my musical influences. You can find my feature on page 8. Enjoy!

YouTube video by Rob Kovacs Piano Phase (solo) - First solo performance ever

21 years ago today, I gave the world premiere *solo* performance of Piano Phase by Steve Reich. Learning this piece was a defining experience that shaped the way I play piano - the ultimate challenge in hand independence! Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnQd...

Thank you!

It was a thrill performing @awintory.bsky.social ’s "What's Yours Is Mine" from Monaco in front of 1000+ people at GDC. This version is fairly true to the OST version, though I did beef it up a bit for the performance. Huge thanks to Austin for trusting me with this solo moment!
