Thank you so much for this JOY Yann. Thank you from my heart.

Angels, in the early morning
May be seen the Dews among,
Stooping—plucking—smiling-flying—
Do the Buds to them belong?

Angels, when the sun is hottest
May be seen the sands among,
Stooping—plucking—sighing-flying—
Parched the flowers they bear along.

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was an American poet. Little-known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry.

Angels, in the early morning. Yann Kifer and Oddrun Eikli.

The northern hemisphere is still in the middle of winter but we can dream of all those lovely warm days - past and future - on the beach with our loved ones!

Lightness of Being

Inspired by the short poem "Dust of Snow" by the American poet Robert Frost.

Dust of Snow

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.


A Dust of Snow

So glad to have been able to collaborate with the wonderful @doina-bora on this arrangement of the Paddy Fahey tune: Paddy Fahey's Jig No1 also know as Fahey's Favorite.  It's certainly a favorite of mine, and Doina's fiddle playing brings this track to life.  I hope you'll enjoy.

This piece is about how life is like the ocean...Sometimes it’s calm and clear… other times, wild and unpredictable. You can’t fight the waves, but you can learn to ride them. Thanks for listening and sharing 🙏

Introducing "Glacial Phoenix," a transcendent collection of 10 soft piano tracks, each one a gentle whisper of melody designed to breathe life into the rich tapestries of RPG and JRPG worlds. As the title suggests, this album is an embodiment of both the serene and the majestic, perfect for developers and content creators seeking to infuse their games with an atmosphere of contemplative calm and subtle grandeur.

Crafted with the delicate touch of a storyteller, every track in "Glacial Phoenix" is a chapter in an unwritten saga, waiting to set the scene for heroes’ journeys, tranquil village settings, and introspective moments. The soft piano tones echo the quiet footsteps of a lone adventurer across icy landscapes, the warm light in a cozy inn, or the tender scenes that tug at the heartstrings.

"Glacial Phoenix" offers more than background music; it is an invitation to a sensory experience that complements the visual artistry of any game. With compositions that flow as gracefully as time-worn tales, these tracks are ideal for enhancing narrative depth, adding layers of emotion, and enriching the player's immersion.

For creators who craft worlds of fantasy and seek to captivate their audience, "Glacial Phoenix" is an essential companion. Its melodies promise to linger with the listener, like the soft echo of a distant myth, ensuring that every quest is not only played but truly felt.

Elevate your creative work with the ethereal touch of "Glacial Phoenix," where each note is a flutter of the soul's wings against the silent frost of imagined realms.

Thoughtful Sunday. This one is very intense and it reflects my current state of mind. Is it overthinking or is it just my detailed reflection of all incoming impulses? The piano music that you hear has been performed by me. I invented this piece while playing and recording my piano at home. This technique is called free improvisation. This music is not based on structures, influences or even existing motives or melodies. The music is evolving in "real-time". Some people say that I am gifted with a direct connection between my brain and my fingers ;-) Please enjoy and feel free to comment. I always want to know, how my music affects the listener. I m posting new improvisations every week and sometimes even more. A good reason to follow me. I hope to come to a place near you in the near future. I am planning concerts...

My music has cinematic angles, classical influences, often strong melodies and ambient soundscapes. Piano is my main instrument, which I've been playing for decades now. Lately I'm more into composing music for listening and experimenting with sound, harmonies, rhythm, emotion and space. Follow me on spotify for that. My commercial music is used in video, broadcasting, TV/Radio, for media campaigns, film, advertising, documentaries, websites and probably for lots more I'm not aware of... This music is produced under various names. Most of the music is available with a royalty free license and you can purchase it in High Quality Audio format on several marketplaces and my own website(see the links). I'm working on getting the piano pieces available on sheet music. You can buy them at my website.
Thanks for listening, commenting, liking, purchasing or sharing !!
