Dirk Maassen composes wonderful short piano pieces inspired by contemporary composers such as Yann Tiersen and Ludovico Einaudi. 

I took on his invitation to record any of his piano pieces, and told him I would record 'Addio'... just to find out that there was no score! ... So after working directly with him the score was created and here is my take on it.

I made this really fast and jon used it so here it is if you want it

The book

This is from my new album, Interludes and Epiphanies, available from 19th April 2013.

It was originally written to be performed at the Piano Cloud Live event but I was unable to transcribe it in time for someone else to be have time to practice and so I've recorded both parts myself!!!

I have known recently Dirk Maassen for his wonderful music and as a person.
Generous in any sense and deeply dedicated to his and other people work.
His piano, a bliss.
Here I have only contributed with an orchestral arrangement which was due to the inspiring song Dirk has created. A full collaboration will come soon.
Thank you Dirk

This is a piano waltz that I started composing last year but failing to find that "special song" adapted to be the music to accompany the first dance of my wife and I at our recent wedding. It had to be slowed down to make it danceable, but it definitely made our first dance even more special.

Dirk Maassen collab  "Les Jours D'été"

This is the new The Bristles single "Spirit Way".

In Sweden, the day before Midsummer, Thursday 20th, is this year's most frequented at the liquor stores, and in its footsteps follows drunkenness, brawl and anxiety.
It's a song about drug abuse. An abuse the members of the band have put behind them.  

Spirit way is a translation from Chinese from around year 0. It's the road leading to the tomb of an emperor or other major dignitary. Dance of Death, danse macabre, etc is from 15th century Catholicism, when Death comes to collect you, regardless of social class, to dance along to your grave. The drugs make you feel like an emperor. Then you die like everyone else.

Planet Perfecto ft. Paul Oakenfold:  Radio Show 137

"Unless you love, your life will flash before you."

-Terrence Malick, The Tree Of Life

ALBUM INFO:

"The Idea Of You" is the first of 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 Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may it help you on your journey, as it has us...

The Idea Of You Cover Art "The Idea Of You" is music inspired by the spirit of Eros and all of its blessings as well as its tribulations. It explores the vicissitudes of romantic love, the delicate seasons and contour of life, and all the lessons learned along the way. Themes of desire, passion, limerence, romantic love, idolatry, jealousy, envy, loss, regret, forgiveness, acknowledgment, appreciation, acceptance, and eventually glimpses of true understanding permeate the work. It attempts to communicate that which so many of us can never quite communicate properly with words. It is an open apology for the clumsy mistakes we all make when coming to maturity in learning how to care selflessly for another human being. It is a gentle reminder as to what is most important in life, as well as an invocation to continuously seek self-improvement regarding our understanding of such matters.

Unless You Love

Andrew Souter -- Unless You Love

I wrote this a couple of nights ago when a friend and colleague where I work had been made redundant - and I had no idea if I would still have a job when I went back into work the next day.

I couldn't think of an appropriate title - so I ran a competition where people could suggest names... and I got some great responses. My favourite was "...and the moon dreamed of greater things" by Tym (https://soundcloud.com/tymh).

...and the moon dreamed of greater things

What can be more tender, what can be more innocent - than a kiss?
But during the Third Reich even kisses among men were forbidden, and thousands of gay people were persecuted and put into concentration camps. There was a pink triangle fastened to their prison uniforms. 
And still today gay and lesbian people are persecuted in many parts of the world.
Violence and discrimination against them happens also in "civilized" countries. Every day.

So this pieces is a remembrance of the persecution in the past and the discrimination today.
It is therefore devoted "to a friend´s friend"...

Enjoy this very special piano work and the outstanding interpretation by pianist Hal Freedman (@classical-soul-pianist) from Philadelphia / USA. 

The booklet with descriptions about the historical background and scores / sheet music can be downloaded for free here:
http://www.beneking.com/hrs

Please be sure to also have a look at the fantastic and touching movie that Hal has created for this piece!
http://www.youtube.com/user/steveberlin0815
http://www.youtube.com/user/hmfreedman/featured

The picture is taken from the "Memorial to Homosexuals persecuted under Nazism" in Berlin, where an endless film loop shows two men (and in a more recent version also two women) kissing each other.

More works of this collaboration project with Hal Freedman will be published soon.
We are planning a free-download-album on BandCamp and a charity album on iTunes and many other platforms. All revenues will go to relevant charities.
We want the messages of this "Holocaust Remembrance Suite" with pieces like "The Kiss", "The white Rose" and more to spread as far as possible.
So please feel free to download the recordings and the scores already here and share wherever appropriate!
Thank you also for reposting and sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Google+ etc.

Epitaph (excerpt from the video):
My beautiful fallen brothers,
Du und ich sind die gleichen.
There is now a shrine in a park
that tells your sad story 
to the world.
It is on this sacred ground
that you are honored,
your dignity as human beings,
restored.
 
Rivers of tears I shed 
for your grievous suffering,
for the loss, 
of thousands.
You are loved by many, 
remembered by many, 
cherished by many. 
Your destiny is in our hands now. 
Rest in peace.

Petit rêve bizarre XII - Stephan Beneking and Milana

When I wrote this song I knew right from the beginning that Vicente (aka Science Teheran) would have been the perfect match to collab with. So I asked him if he was interested in adding some cello and instrumentation. He joined in and the result was beyond what I expected and touched me really deeply - I hope it will be the same with you !
