If you get a chance to go to a truly dark sky sight and watch the Milky Way rise, do so. It is magnificient.

But what if it really was a slow, lazy river you could drift along in, trailing your hand into the sparkling star-water?

sounding out – is the practice of deep listening, a connection with the spirit of a place.
these recordings are explorations of outdoor acoustics and sacred sites, investigating the nature of space and architecture, natural topography.

This one might be a surprise? Dedicated to a new-born baby. Close friends of ours. My way of welcoming a new human being to our world. This triggers a lot of memories of the time when we were young (first) parents. Our kids change our whole life, but in a very good and satisfying way. In their first years, they totally depend on us and then they slowly start to walk on their own path. We still might have to assist them here and there, but one day, they will be grown up. They will always feel like our children. This will only end, when we finally pass. That was my heaviest emotion, when my father passed five years after my mother. I was nobody's child anymore. Enough with those heavy thoughts!!! Welcome Magalie! Please enjoy, this one is for you.

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 !!
