Dvorak Humoresque

This morning I am delighted to spend more time with David Poltrock and his music. He is not completely new to my ears, as I have previously enjoyed and covered his piece with Adriaan de Roover, titled "44,2 km". Today I am premiering a track titled "Titanus Giganteus", taken off his upcoming release Aulus I, which, as I hope you can guess from the album title, is part of the diptych of two instrumental works, with the Aulus II coming out later in the year. It seems that we're all mesmerised these days [at least in my circle of musician friends] with sounds originating from strings, piano, tape, and light electronics. But even if the ingredients are all the same, it is the flavour of the dish that is important. In this case [as is the case with all of my previous musings on sound], it is the emotion behind each piece and the composer's ability to communicate and transfer that emotion into mine. It seems so simple, yet it's not. And if the musician truly accomplishes this task, then the ingredients don't matter. It could be just a piano. It could be just strings. It's great when each one has a place in the story. This is what I think about [and what I feel] when I listen to Poltrock's music. And that's the greatest compliment of all. For this piece, which is a rework of his previous original track, "Titanus" (Machines, 2018), Poltrock starts with the lofi piano and brings in the strings performed by Sun*Sun*Sun String Orchestra for a dynamic, intimate and soaring composition that wonderfully conveys the sound on his album as a whole. Beautifully sculpted, executed, and received.

Nils Frahm recently declared March 29th, "Piano Day" and in a strange coincidence, that exact day also happens to be William Ryan's birthday. Feeling inspired by this, Fritch compiled five very special piano led pieces. These pieces are a nice precursor to his upcoming album 'Music For Film Vol. I'

William French - Heart

2017 has been a great year! I just wanted to share a small collection of different tracks and scores I've worked on in the past year, featuring music from the soon to be released score for 'The Sense Of Beauty' and an unreleased trailermusic album. Enjoy, and a successful and happy 2018 to everyone!

Showreel Epic/Orchestral 2017

The If You Would Only Let Me Wayfarer Remix is an ambient remix of the neo-classical solo piano composition also by Andrew Souter found on his The Idea Of You album. The harmonic and melodic contents, to the extent that these are discernible in the ambient remix, are identical to the solo-piano version. Tempo is slower, various synthesizers have been used to replace the solo-piano instrumentation, and liberal amounts of 2CAudio B2 and Aether have been applied to create the dream-like atmosphere. All combined, the effect is a powerfully emotive soundscape that is well suited for introspective reflection.

Wayfarer is a project name Andrew Souter uses for the deepest of deep ambient space music. This is music that is meant to invoke a sense of traveling without moving to remote and unknowable reaches of outer and inner space. Wayfarer projects are more sound environments than music in the traditional sense. They are intended to invoke a sense of ineffable awe at the magnificence of the universe, and give a fleeting sense of connection to some form of universal non-human intelligence. Despite, or rather perhaps because of, its humble abstract nature, this is meditative music that implicitly asks big questions, and hopefully inspires big ideas.

"Whitespace" is the first of the Wayfarer series. This two hour sonic odyssey is a collection of thematic and textural ambient deep cruisers that are certain to be the impetus of a myriad forms of outward journeys and inward discoveries. The atmospheric, mood-inducing soundscapes of Whitespace make a perfect compliment to mediation, relaxation, deep concentration, lucid dreaming, quiet introspection, various spiritual practices, star gazing, and various other formative life experiences. To borrow words from Stephen Hill, founder of Hearts Of Space, this is "slow music for fast times".
