Dark, moody or melancholy classical music

Title's word, Ran means orchid in Japanese.I imaged fantastic flower that is blooming in mind, and trying to express scene of oriental on classical piano.

It was sort of a gloomy day weather-wise yesterday, so I took an excursion into pure minimalism.  :)

Andrew Souter -- Missing You

Two New Zealand artists from completely different musical worlds have combined forces to create a stunning and unique collaboration.

Former Midnight Youth lead vocalist and songwriter Jeremy Redmore possesses one of the most recognised voices in New Zealand music, while Levi Patel is a rising star in the world of modern classical and ambient music.

Written and recorded in a variety of ways over the course of three years - in-person and remote, in bedrooms, studios, cities and wilderness - the Migrations EP is a project of contrasts between sonic worlds, beginnings and endings, intimacy and distance.

“There are places this project took my voice to that it had never been before,” Redmore says.

Worlds Apart comes from the pair's Migrations EP.

Jeremy Redmore and Levi Patel - Worlds Apart

A new preview track from my up coming album "From Home".

And by preview, I mean it is not the finished track.
I still need to "improve" the sound, it is just a raw recording.


On The Same Road (Raw Version)

This track is from the album Carpe Lumen and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bossenbroek3

I Give Up

Champignons - Rec II

original music, Native American style flutes, piano

We Are Shades of Ourselves, Time to Pull the Blind

10. Bach: Suite no. 2 In D Minor, BWV 1008 · Sarabande / Gavriel LIpkind, cello

Mozart for Your Pregnancy - Mozart Relaxing Classical Music for a Lovely Pregnancy. Music for Childbirth

Sonata No. 16 C major (Sonata facile) , KV 545 (1788) : III. Rondo Allegretto

Words cannot yet describe what this sombre piano improvisation means at this moment. where the music hopefully 'speaks' for itself, produced with a beautiful ambience and depth added to the piano by John Styles.  

A full Orchestral version of this piece is also in the planning ….

This music was initially inspired by watching images of terrorism and the fallout, the chaos and people running in fear  .. it was these horrifying images I saw as I played this music watching a silent TV … a reflection of so many lost opportunities for beautiful, carefree people, of those who were lost, and for the survivors, and their families and friends and the heroes who risked their lives.  These feelings were also expressed with John Styles, but I still cannot find words which are adequate enough to convey the depths of such sorrow……   Perhaps only music can achieve this

Declining health stopped me from uploading this track until now but I, and others, continue to keep going, in the belief and hope that life will change for the better  ….

It is this unknown in what may await us that inspired this piece …. but It is also this hope that we must hold onto if ever we undergo change, loss or grief in our lives…. Hope and peace within …. to continue on despite our external circumstances, for life can be filled with such joy, which we must try never to lose sight of…. even the simplest of things,… the flowers that bloom, the leaves blowing in the breeze, the singing of birds and the sun on our faces ……  to find a safe place within ourselves where we cannot be touched and where inner peace and silence holds strong …and solidarity of all helps us to carry on
xx

Faded Memories

If you like relaxing music or contemporary classical music, you're definitely in the right place, especially if you want to discover exciting new artists along with the more established ones! So, if you've liked one of my playlists, check out the rest or you might be missing out on some real gems! (I get no benefit from doing these, other than the joy of connecting people to good music!) As well as contemporary classical, I also have a few other relaxing playlists (ambient, jazz, chillout...), all with no words. 
After getting severe myalgic encepalopathy I found I have to rest a lot and at first it was very boring and frustrating but then I got into Soundcloud! I've come across so many wonderful composers and musicians on here and have developed a love of contemporary classical music. I make relaxing playlists... I started out just for myself but it's always great if someone else enjoys them too! I always try to support artists by choosing their tracks instead of versions posted by fans/others, and I enjoy making my playlists diverse, including all the brilliant female and international composers out there etc (which seem to be lacking in a lot of playlists and auto-play, and which is a great shame as there's so much talent out there!)
Most days I repost my favorite track that I've heard that day from one of my playlists.
The artwork used for playlists all belongs to me and was done by myself or my dad.
