Dear Mr. Souter, could I have the score of your piece?

Danny Norbury - Goodnight

I'm away from the piano at the moment, so I thought I'd share this with everybody...

Compositional sketch for a modern Pastoral Appassionata String Quintet.  Primary composition sometime in November 2013.  Work in progress.

Somebody asked if this is a "sad" song.  Here is my answer:

It is not a "human emotion" song.   It is more a divine/nature/universe  song.  It does not have human emotions like happy/sad.  It has only what is.  It has only pure beauty. Like a waterfall.  Or a mountain.  Or a star. A waterfall is not sad.  Or happy.  It only is. It is simply pure beauty.

Pastoral = of or referring to nature or the creator

Appassionata = with passion  (but in this case, it is not passion like between a man and woman.  it is more passion of the creator for his creation or created for his creator.)

It is more of a spiritual music.  This is what I will do more of later in life. Like these guys:

I aspire to follow in their footsteps one day.

Somebody asked about the plug-ins used:

Solo Bass, Cello, Viola, Violin 1, & Violin 2 from NI Kontact (standard set from Komplete) for this sketch.  Sometime later I will ideally record the real thing... (Or at least use more advanced string libraries.) 6 Instances of 2CAudio Breeze (which I am the developer of) are used here to make the Kontact Strings sound reasonably good.

The strings samples themselves are not that good.  The reverb is!  :)  That's the trick here.



Many new solo piano compositions to share with you all soon!  Happy New Year!

La Colère

Francesco Tristano & The New Bach Players: Bach Concerto BWV 1055 - I. Allegro

Glorywave Chronicles is a futuristic cinematic soundtrack album that merges sweeping orchestral motifs with cutting-edge electronic textures. Each composition tells a chapter of an imagined universe — filled with tension, triumph, and transcendence. From thunderous drums to shimmering synths, this album creates a sonic journey through space, time, and emotion. It’s not just a soundtrack — it’s a saga in sound.

Echoes of Triumph

I remember my father playing this concert at home, I was a little kid and I could sit and listen to him for hours. Richard Addinsell is the author of the Warsaw Concerto, one of my favorites.

Warsaw Concerto

Weiss - Sonata in F major - Courante

Grand Duo Concertant Op. 48 II. Andante con moto

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - String Quartet No. 17 in Bb Major, K. 458 'The Hunt' - Allegro vivace assai

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Oboe Quartet in F major, K. 370 I. Allegro

I create things.  Musical things...  Technological things...

Production of my third solo piano album to complete the trilogy is underway now! Stay tuned...

If you enjoy the music please support via Apple Music, Spotify, or other streaming/download service. My music is also available directly from my company web-store in uncompressed WAV format as well if you prefer:

My other job is co-founder and primary algorithm designer of 2CAudio.  We make some pretty cool stuff for the pro audio software community including some of the best reverbs on the planet, which you are hearing in all of my personal work here too of course.
