Albums created through exploration, selection, and curation rather than performance. Original Concept and Musical Direction by J. Belle.
Ragtime Reverie celebrates the playful charm and intricate rhythms of classic ragtime, weaving lively piano melodies, syncopated left-hand strides, and whimsical harmonic flourishes into a richly expressive soundscape. Sprightly motifs, elegant phrasing, and spirited interplay create a joyful, nostalgic atmosphere, evoking bustling turn-of-the-century parlors, lively street performances, and the exuberance of early American music.
​
Created through guided AI generation, the album was carefully shaped by selecting, refining, and sequencing performances to explore rhythmic vitality, melodic inventiveness, and the nuanced interplay between human expression and machine interpretation.
​
The result is a captivating ragtime journey where energetic piano lines, playful melodic twists, and charming harmonic surprises converge—drawing inspiration from the elegance, wit, and timeless originality of Scott Joplin.
