Classical, electronic-breaks mashup in 3/4 from 2012.

Just for fun. These are the mix sketches...  Violin samples were replaced with a real performance later on....

with and without the drums and bass for your enjoyment... ;-)


Andrew Souter -- Dub In Three (Sketch)

Be careful to sow wisely the good seed, for one day you may have to eat its fruit.  Perhaps grace is not demanding to receive everything that we think we are entitled to by our own merit or position, but rather to instead give thanks for not receiving everything we may deserve for our failures and folly. Let us be diligent year round to do the best we can to nurture our crop. Let us be humbly content to accept result of these efforts, whatever it may be, at the time of the harvest.

"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.

Andrew Souter -- The Harvest


September is always a magical month of the year anywhere else in the northern hemisphere. It never ceases to present the perfect opportunity to go outside and enjoy the wonder of nature. It's the perfect moment to feel the warmth of the sun on your face as it pierces through the branches of trees whose leaves may have already been to show small signs of color. Its a perfect time to be thankful for the fun of summer and to prepare us for the deeper seasons we are about to enter. It always feels strangely like a graduation ceremony as well as the start of the next level of our growth and understanding. Its a decidedly peaceful month. It's a time of the year as well as state of mind. Perhaps the entire world could live in September for a while.

Andrew Souter -- Autumn Rains Album Overview (Available Now!)

A scoring project I did last month for your enjoyment!  

Musical timing and structure follows the video edit very closely which led to this interesting compound-meter, asymmetric groove thing that ended up sounding pretty cool IMHO...

Hope you enjoy it...

Live Long (Score)

Another scoring project I did for a technology company in the silicon valley.  A nice, playful feeling of potential and achievement and the goal of making the wold a better place through invention and engineering...

Happy Technology (Score)

The wisemen above watch-over as the world sleeps...

Wayfarer - The Craddle

A scoring project I did for Logitech in January 2017.  Hope you enjoy.  

The music achieves very tight sync with the narrative of the video, which was the goal. Check out the video here to get the full effect:

Barcelona (Score)

Rough sketch of a piano + orchestra minimalism piece I did a while ago in the family of Glass, Reich, Nyman and my other early heroes.

Forgive the synth-sounding strings --  just a compositional sketch really.

Andrew Souter -- Potential (Sketch)

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

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