Lightness of Being

Hello, 
I'm a self-taught composer, still discovering my musical identity, step by step.
I've been on SoundCloud for almost two years now, and this platform allows me to discover incredibly talented people. I'm immensely proud and grateful to everyone who's interested in my work.
Thank you for your support and encouragement, and thank you to everyone I interact with here for their support, it's very inspiring.

I wish everyone the very best !

I love the challenge of creating a new piece of music from photographs and memories. I enjoy putting my thoughts into creating music. 
If my music can help someone, somewhere in the world forget their worries  it would make me happy.
Most of my compositions are created on my Yamaha DGX-650. Most recent works were created on a Yamaha CVP-805.
Let music be your escape.
My music can also be heard on SPOTIFY

No AI is used in the making of my music or art. Creating something from nothing is one of the true joys of life.

Welcome to my page.

I appreciate all the comments, likes and repost that you leave me in my compositions.

I make music for fun and to get away. I have multiple styles, although my biggest influence is in electronic music.

I am self taught and learned with Music Studio 2 on a first generation ipad 11 years ago. I have never composed before. Perform more than 80 songs a year for the first 6-7 years to learn about the program and develop creativity to compose. I have listened to different types of music throughout my life and maybe that has helped me.

I still compose only with an ipad (last generation), but I no longer work only with native MS2 instruments since I have expanded my instrument library with programs such as Audiokit, Digital D1, kv331, Sunrizer, etc ...

My music can be downloaded, but not used for commercial purposes (my authorization is required).

During the last two years I have encouraged myself to collaborate with professional or self-taught musicians like me. Are these:

Annie Smart

Dan DT

Loue ghazi

Lukowig

Mirjam Keijnemans

Nathalie B20

Subzero

Osc Project

Vicent

Winkanwoo

Wypernet

Thanks to them for their generous timeshare and patience.

You can contact me by sending me a message through SC.

Thanks for visiting.

First and foremost, thank you so much for visiting my SoundCloud! Since I stepped into the world of Soundcloud, I've been obsessed with discovering countless fascinating pieces of music. Music frees my soul and heals my heart. I believe in the infinity of music and entrust it with emotions and hopes that cannot be expressed in words.Our precious journey called “Life” always continues with music. Thank you very much for reading and listening! I wish you all enjoy your own great journey/life!

- Most of the pieces were played on my upright piano (YAMAHA/1970) and recorded on a mobile phone. The condition of the piano is unstable, but I’m enjoying the unique texture of the sound. I sincerely hope you enjoy my music🍀

I play the piano. Unless otherwise noted, everything is played and recorded on a Kawai ca99.


Once upon a time I programed, people called it hacking, I called it learning, I can still do it, but I prefer music, etc., 

The profile picture was taken when I was a teenager in the 1990s. I just liked the old washed out look of it. They were actual physical things back in the day. And phones had cords.

I started playing around age ~8-10 (who remembers, I know i started with the violin but moved on). Over the years I've had to re-teach myself the piano many times due to life getting in the way and not allowing me the time to work on it. The repetition of re-learning has helped with the style and technique I used to play here.

It's sort of like what happens when you learn multiple programming languages.. the syntax, etc., stop mattering as much and you just think about what you need.. works in music too I guess. :)

I have visual snow 🌨️🌨️🌨️ 



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 !!

Welcome to my SoundCloud page.  It serves as a jar of sorts, to catch the musical ideas flying around in my head!  My hope is that you find something to listen to that offers encouragement and refreshes your soul.

All music is original with a few exceptions (such as new arrangements of old Christmas songs, etc.).  All music has been composed and performed with absolutely no AI-assistance.  I primarily perform and record on the Yamaha MODX8, with an occasional recording on my older Yamaha Clavinova.  You will also find collaborative works on my page, featuring some other amazing musicians on SoundCloud.

It is a joy to share my music with you, and I hope you enjoy listening!

I’ve posted the entire suite “In case nothing happens” on YouTube, including the parts (7 and 8) that are still missing here, accompanied by a very simple video.


Hello! I’m a university professor of history who enjoys playing guitar and piano/keyboard, and occasionally composing — unpretentiously, just for fun. I’ve been here for at least 10 years, but only recently have I started using the platform for something other than just external digital storage.
Most of my recordings (made with a KorgD8, Audacity, and more recently Reaper for MIDI and the Spitfire Audio libraries) are entirely homemade and decidedly imperfect. My music includes old songs (all written back in the last century; here I’ve only shared the ones I’ve reworked in recent years) as well as both old and new instrumentals.
Thanks for stopping by and giving something a listen; in the description you’ll often find explanatory notes or translations of the lyrics.

Here I’ve discovered a community of talented musicians and songwriters, and plenty of beautiful music to enjoy. Whenever I like, comment, or repost a track, it’s always the result of attentive listening. For the same reason, I’m not interested in trading empty “likes” without real engagement, and I won’t reply to messages from would-be promoters — follower counts don’t matter to me in the slightest.

Update (2024, September 9). Completed the "AI & (fake) songwriting project". Here: https://soundcloud.com/mick-hansan 

I've posted some 'live' homemade performance here: https://www.instagram.com/michele_ansani/
