My Arms Still Open

My Arms Still Open // Orchestral Version

Ydre

Some undressed songs off the tape machine..........cheers for having a listen


chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new

hide seek night and day, you see me and look away
grey is raining, deep is blue
but then again, its nothing new

up down white or black, getting healthy heart attack
ink the skin, another bad tattoo

right wrong in or out, get ignored talked about
subscribe or follow, discard or use
but then again, its nothing new
it's nothing new

eyes see colorblind, lock the door, free the mind
paid on time, or overdue

chaos on my mind, gets hard just to find the time
keep on looking, trying to find a clue
but then again, it's nothing new
it's nothing new

It's Nothing New

COSMOS IX

First Contact

According to St. Bede, Ceolfrith set out from his monastery on 4 June 716, a thursday. Among the things he took with him was an enormous book, a gift he intended to deliver at his earthly destination. The giant book Ceolfrith took with him, now known as Codex Amiatinus, is the oldest surviving, complete Latin Bible in the world.  Ceolfrith took one of the three giant bibles written in the Wermouth monastery, where he was the abbot, as a gift for St Peter’s shrine in Rome. " ... and got on a horse, speeding away from the land of the Angles to the lands where, with a freer and purer spirit for contemplating angels, he might be delivered to Heaven".
On 12 August Ceolfrith "reached the lands of Gaul", where he was received with honour by King Chilperic himself. The party then travelled over land. Ceolfrith went part of the way on horseback and part of the way being carried on a litter, as he was becoming ill. He reached Langres around 9am on 25 September. He died there on 29 September 716.

Recorded in Milan, with Lorenzo Di Biasi (www.sartoria57studio.it/).

As the cover image, I chose the famous miniature that occupies the fifth sheet of the 'Codex Amiatinus', now preserved in the Laurentian Library in Florence.

Marking the one-year anniversary of his debut album, Jack Watkins reimagines Wonderland as a collection of solo piano pieces. Sketches from Wonderland strips away the technicolour layers of the originals to reveal their raw beginnings — songs that started life at the piano, now returned to their most intimate form. Some stay true, others become entirely new, but together they offer a tender reflection on the music’s heart and soul.

Larmes Invisibles

Thoughtful Sunday. This one is very intense and it reflects my current state of mind. Is it overthinking or is it just my detailed reflection of all incoming impulses? The piano music that you hear has been performed by me. I invented this piece while playing and recording my piano at home. This technique is called free improvisation. This music is not based on structures, influences or even existing motives or melodies. The music is evolving in "real-time". Some people say that I am gifted with a direct connection between my brain and my fingers ;-) Please enjoy and feel free to comment. I always want to know, how my music affects the listener. I m posting new improvisations every week and sometimes even more. A good reason to follow me. I hope to come to a place near you in the near future. I am planning concerts...

Composer enquiries: info@andrewleefarquhar.com

Andrew Lee Farquhar is a multi-instrumentalist and producer from the UK. His compositions often feature strings and piano, even sometimes with electronics and ambient textures.

Neoclassical Contemporary Crossover Composer  / Piano Artist:

Farquhar's solo piano music without words, evokes a minimalist emotional-world, yet in other ways neutral, melancholic, and desirable. A soundscape full of blurry images of the past; of long forgotten memories and characters from a yesteryear; of times gone by and ever-looping addictive piano phrasing, of beautiful melodies from far-away-destinations, far-away-waters, far-away-skies, far-away-landscapes. 

Born in Northern England, he spent years studying piano, developing a minimalist, modern classical repertoire. He is a highly creative piano artist with a distinct flair in the neoclassical minimalist genre stratosphere.
