This is a collection of Saman Samadi's impromptus for piano and electronics, which are short pieces of structured improvisations on the piano, of which manipulated by electronic music techniques were used as parts of the accompaniment layers. The video-recordings of the piano improvisations were problematized along with the assemblage of the sounds, edited and remolded, by special effects, in order to accompany the music rhythmically as well as atmospherically, in the guise of a video-art. This artistic experimentation, which is in progress in order to further produce creative works, resulted in these multimedia compositions, hitherto.
