Classical Instrumental Pieces

This heartfelt sketch for Piano and Strings is born out of a recent Improvisation that seeks to suggest the power and passion of Love's eternal nature. Impossible to do perhaps, yet if it is freely expressed... Love seems to travel like Light and bind giver and receiver together in a warm, rich, and almost unfathomable Oneness. 

So, here's to what is called 'Forever Love', and may everyone find it!  💖

Unfinished Sketch

Hiya folks,

Time to change up my flow, Listeners. 😉

I realize I've only been posting  Ambient-Jazz Improvisations with my friend and guitarist Tim Elliot for the past few months, so now it's time for one of my Ambient Solo Piano Improvs.  

So here's my latest exploration of the sound and flow my Kawai ES7 Electric Concert Piano gives me access to. And while there is always something that folks feel is worth complaining about or being offended by... as usual, my focus is on 'the Beauty' in this Life!  

So may you enJOY both. 😉

The photo is not a Sunrise, my friends.
It's a Moonrise over Denmark, with Crepuscular Moon Rays radiating into the evening sky.

The Beauty

Awakens this video https://youtu.be/3b__QrjTi3Q and others of mine on Youtube from their slumber, please 😁

This is the fourth part of the actually completed trilogy/album: The Sovereign & The Chambermaid - https://on.soundcloud.com/VEvX

The maid - the sovereign lord's former mistress - has come into possession of volatile documents that could compress the lord's entire stately family....
So the story continues?

"Bleeding Hearts!"

Music & Piano: Jan Schonander

Got in my head that I wanted to play something with a little staccato and this is what came out. Also thought it would be a good idea to do all four seasons and recruited three pianists to complete the cycle. Delighted that Debra Buesking agreed to take on summer and here is a link to her wonderful interpretation:

Two additional Soundcloud artists have agreed to tackle Fall and Winter and when their inspiration results in a track the links will be here too. I have also put together a playlist where all four tracks eventually will be in a collection.

I spent seventeen long winters in Stockholm. Funnily enough the most challenging season to me was always spring with all the false starts and long hiatuses. By the time it’s May and you can reasonably expect some warmish weather (defined as over 50F) it inevitably snows and destroys your planned weekend bike ride, or maybe you just have to keep your down jacket in the closet a few more weeks and leave your lighter clothes at the back of the closet. Of course, spring is the beginning of a period of more fun and games. Hopefully you can hear the pull between spring trying to break through and winter lingering on in this music.

This is a performance with no post recording edits. It is entirely in Gm except for 1 note intended to denote a dissonant interruption. I wonder who can locate that B.

Spring Interrupted

Music & Piano, Synth:  Jan Schonander
Instrument: Nord Stage III

About loss, about what we remember. Passing away is always a somber event, but over 20 years ago when my father was in his last days he told my mother to "be chirpy". I think it is good advice. The Colombian flag is in remembrance of my mother-in-law who passed away peacefully on 9/27/22 - may she rest in peace.

This is the first time I write something using the Cm harmonic scale (and lo and behold I stayed in key throughout) instead of the melodic. It definitely brought out some sadness.

Remembrance

First song written produced and recorded by Jeffrey Lasky in Twenty years.  Jeffrey Lasky all guitars.  Cover art and concept by Joshua Lasky

September Twenty-Fifth

Music & Evil Laughing: Jan Schonander

Sometimes it's good to just go with the flow. For classical fans this is yet another Chopin derivative.

It could also be called "The Post-apocalyptic Celebration Of The Final Victory Of The Vampires"

The Triumphant Yet Somewhat Creepy Shortish Interlude

Fantatmosphere is an orchestral piece featuring violin and guitar in contrasting sections. It is meant to inspire a sense of wonder and curiosity about the world around us.
