Tape Study VII

Sorgin Sigrar Hamingjuna Va

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

For each musical piece there is a story hidden inside. Enjoy this "Hidden Inside", played on the virtual version of The Giant. Until recently it was the biggest piano in the world but now it's creator, David Klavins, made even bigger Regina. I got the chance to play The Giant in real life and I hope to get a chance to play Regina this year!

Evening Reflection

Written on an uneventful day during lockdown here in the UK... this piece evokes the feelings of every day being the same with little differences... and the light at the end of the tunnel is a long way away!!!

My take on the German Catholic Christmas Psalm, Es ist ein Ros entsprungen. One of my favourite Christmas melodies.

Hello everybody. I  am Andrej Zatkalík from Bratislava, Slovakia.

My first musical steps  began in childhood  at the age of 8, when I started playing the piano. I learnt at the local musical school for the next seven years. From that time on, my greatest passion has been piano improvising.  It’s like an open-ended adventure to put your fingers on the piano keys and let your soul speak with the universal language of music!

I often play around with simple musical motifs, adding changes and variations to them. That way I create my improvisations.

Sometimes I record myself playing, and by listening back I can find some interesting melodies or chord progressions, which I don’t remember playing. My music is mostly unplanned, and the majority of my piano pieces I have created during one evening, which is why I often use the word “evening“ or “night“ in title name.

Beside piano improvisations I have also recorded  some piano covers and some orchestral compositions. My main musical influences include classical music, especially the music of J.S. Bach, but I also like modern music.

Since two years ago I have been uploading  my improvisations and other pieces to Soundcloud and joined The Piano Cloud community. Two of my tracks have been reviewed on this site:

Ocean Improvisation
Night Improvisation 3
In future I would like – beside my main focus, which is the piano – to try some more orchestral music compositions.
