Friends.... 

back on the piano, inspired by a wonderful vacation at the baltic sea and with some fresh music... Anmut will be the title track of the new album I am working on and planning to release in 2014. As per usual I am releasing all songs here on soundcloud before....

Thanks a lot to "Mirko Costantini" for his permission to use his awesome photo for my cover art for the upcoming album.

When I gazed across the baltic sea in Sellin during my holiday I felt so many different moods from feeling calm and relaxed to sensing the rough wildness of the endless sea and I simply must have written a song to capture these.... I had a small Midi keyboard with me to catch the first ideas, btw...  :-))

Sorry for the clicks in the mix... messing around with my soundcard. I guess QL is producing too much load....

Promenades En Campagne, Nocturne, 22 Nov - Piano Solo

My wife bought a fabulous original watercolour painting of purple poppies and she left it on the music stand of my piano. As I sat down to practice I gazed at the painting and improvised this track. It has two aspects - the present day image of poppies blowing in the wind and the associated remembrance of soldiers who died in battle.

I recorded the improvisation and practised it until I could play the left hand part without it sounding too amateurish - at the end of recording the track my left hand felt about ready to fall off!

The painting is by a wonderful artist called Anna and was bought from eBay - you can see her other works here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/fabulous.2008/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Conversing By Myself - Piano Solo - Nocturne, 21 Jan

when I was a child I remember how I could sense the coming rain by the smell of the asphalt and the wet air. Maybe you remember it too !?.... now as grown ups are our senses still good enough to feel the "scent of rain"....?
