Journey Through The Seasons

Listen

Journey Through The Seasons Piano version - Julia Thomsen

Composer and pianist Alex Solely presents his new album.
"The Home Concert" is that kind of home — one you can return to anytime. You open the door, sit by the window, wrap yourself in a blanket and just… listen. There’s no stage — just a living room. No spotlights — only the soft glow of a desk lamp. No crowd — just a few close people. Alex plays a Yamaha digital piano. Beside him, a violin weaves its voice into the silence — gently, almost like a whisper. It’s a wordless dialogue, where every touch of the keys continues the conversation.

My Piano

We present “Reverie” by Piano Melancolía, a warm and inviting piano piece, gently paced with a touch of wistful melancholy. Its soft, muted tone adds intimacy and depth, creating a comforting yet reflective atmosphere.

Behind Piano Melancolía is German pianist and composer Carl Jürgen Emert, who has been creating poetic and emotionally resonant works since 2013, blending classical and jazz elements with a distinctive touch of serenity. Welcome to the ad21 family!

Reverie

Born from a playful twist, the title “Juana’s Song” emerged when a passing thought of a friend named Juan softened into a feminine muse. Recorded three days into a fast, the piece holds the clear edges and heightened focus that restraint can bring—unadorned phrasing, generous silences, and a tender motif that returns like a knowing smile. It’s part inside joke, part quiet devotion: a piano meditation where humor lightens discipline, and a simple melody lingers long after the final note fades.

Chopin - Nocturne in D Flat Major, Op. 27 No. 2

Happy autumn lullaby

'Save Your Tears' has always been one of those melodies that stays with you - originally performed by The Weeknd and later reaching even greater heights with the beautiful collaboration featuring Ariana Grande. The song became a global favourite, topping charts around the world and capturing hearts with its emotional pull and addictive hook. I just released the solo piano instrumental cover - a slower, more romantic interpretation with a neoclassical, atmospheric feel. I stripped the piece down to its emotional core, letting the melody breathe softly through the piano, transforming it into something intimate and reflective. If the original is a vibrant heartbreak anthem, this version is its quiet, candlelit echo. 

Save Your Tears

Inspiration, hope, joy and comfort. Mystery, alienation and longing. The gamut of human emotions is explored in Arash Behzadi’s vibrant piano compositions, an instrument he describes as an allegory for life itself in its wide tonal range of expression.

Arash is an exciting new international talent - a Canadian/Persian New Age pianist/composer with a global following. His concerts have captivated audiences worldwide in an eclectic range of venues from Bali to New York, Dubai to Istanbul, Naples Italy to Moscow and Geneva to Toronto.

His dynamic improvisational technique was first showcased in his debut album, With Closed Eyes, with its dreamy sense of mysterious yearning, intricate and exciting, yet calming and freeing.

Passionate love, personal loss, prescient dreams and healing journeys are all central to the powerful musical narratives in his second album, Elsewhere.

Soul to Soul, his latest release, reflects upon the human condition during these times of unprecedented global upheaval, delivering lengthy contemplative pieces in which listeners can seek solace as they ponder the ambiguities of life’s unknowns.

Arash’s musical path is one that introduces fresh interpretations of minimalist music yet is rich with evocative visual metaphors incorporating the interplay of dance, theatrical performance, film and animation.

“The piano mirrors existence in all its complexities from moments of profound sadness and loss to exhilaration and new beginnings,” he says.
