I had a couple of collabs with Ivan Ujevic (https://soundcloud.com/iohannes) before, adding ambient piano to his magnificent ambient guitar. The very recent one was just a couple of days ago: https://soundcloud.com/iohannes/elegy-no-3-ft-milana-zilnik
Same time Ivan asked me if I can play the solo piano version of the piece. He didn't have the note sheet so I asked if it's ok to just interpret the piece with an improvisation rather than trying to follow the original composition precisely. Ivan gave his approval and we recorded this interpretation by "cutting" the original into 5-10 seconds parts and improvising on each of them separately, then merging everything into one piece.

"Blue Dolphin" is a song written by New York pianist Stephen Schlaks and released in 1975. 
From the moment of its release and throughout the 80s, it was an extraordinary worldwide success.
Since I've practically always played it and am very attached to it, I thought to re-propose it in a more current piano style.
It was not easy to give it a new identity because the original version, faster and supported by other instruments, kept the listener's attention by alternating the theme from time to time between the strings, the piano, and the choirs.
I hope you enjoy it.

Blue Dolphin - On Piano

Winter is coming.  Its cool air and strong winds always bring a refreshing purity that cleanses the mind, body and soul and encourages introspection.  Its quiet solidtude and majestic beauty provides ample space for day-dreaming and imagination. Its peaceful slumber brings a chance for much needed rest and rejuvenation. Its relative lack of sunlight and the play things of summer may sometimes bring about a "dark night of the soul". This a magical time; embrace it. It is a time for taking a personal inventory and evaluating the progress that has been made in the prior year.  It is a time to impart change. It is a time to define who you will become in the following months and years. Look North.  Find your inner light.  Cherish and nurture it. Give it what it needs to grow this season and prepare yourself in all ways for the future seasons to come.

"Autumn Rains" is the second installment in a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This trio represents Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may help you on your journey, as it has us...

"Autumn Rains" is music inspired by the spirit of Agape. It is an album dedicated to the concept of spiritual love and universal compassion clothed in the metaphor of transcendental natural beauty. It is an album that simultaneously expresses deep love for both the creator as well as the creation. It is said God gave us music so that we could pray without words. It could be added that nature was provided as an example of exactly how to do this effectively. In this spirit, Autumn Rains is a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to learn from the natural beauty of this world, and an expression of a sense of respect for the inescapable universal equality that nature imposes. It humbly attempts to capture deep feelings of awe, granduer, idealism, and a belief in the innate goodness of the world even when we all face exceptionally hard lessons.

Vi presento MC la mia ultima composizione. Sto cercando di lavorare sul respiro dell'orchestra attraverso la massimizzazione della dinamica di ogni accordo. Dentro questi minuti si trovano poche melodie. Al contrario ci sono vari cambi di atmosfera proprio perché lo studio riguarda il miglioramento nella tecnica di produzione per questo genere di musica.

Day 15 - The Homecoming by Hagood Hardy performed and recorded on a Dexibell Vivo H10 by @claracmee (Instagram) as a #30daysoflovesongs Challenger nominated by @akuahinds (Instagram) who was nominated by @tahako.tank (Instagram)

Thank you for listening and see you tomorrow!

The Homecoming by Hagood Hardy

The Mask Murders is an instrumental Edwardian noir set in Deptford, London, in 1905. Across three acts, the album traces the path from a quiet neighborhood paint shop to the birth of modern forensic justice.

Act I lingers in the world of the victims: a small shop glowing under gaslight, dawn on Deptford High Street, and the low hum of London life. Two discarded masks, an open cash box, and whispers moving through the streets slowly bend the music toward unease. By the time the six days have passed, the city’s everyday sounds—fog, footfall, and a fading music hall waltz—have become the backdrop to a double murder.

Act II shifts into the interior of the new fingerprint bureau. Chamber textures tighten and overlap as motifs are passed between instruments like evidence between hands. Themes are examined, restated, and set in counterpoint, mirroring the growing list of matching points and the investigator’s struggle between professional certainty and private doubt. The sound is small, acoustic, and precise, rooted in early-twentieth-century harmony.

Act III moves to the courtroom and the gallows. Formal, hymn-like writing and slow tolling rhythms carry the listener through the trial at the Old Bailey, the weight of the verdict, and the quiet finality of a morning at Wandsworth. In the closing piece, the fingerprint patterns return in a cool, stripped-back epilogue, suggesting a future in which a few ridges on glass quietly govern life and death.
