My wife's favorite, so the title was easy to find, and this lovely lady is very helpful in the process. It was a good recording exercise on the acoustic piano. I'm getting better with placing microphones...

There is no love story that is unique, yet no love story is the same. My love happened to be deeply intertwined with music and with my husband. When he asked me to improvise different feelings on my piano, I didn't think it would end up as a story of our life: from the anticipation of the first date, from the surprise and joy of new relations to the moments of doubt and fear, disgust and anger, followed by guilt, sadness and contemplation. But above all it always comes down to trust and... 

LOVE! The twelfth, concluding track from my new album "Yet Another Love Story", telling the story of my love and music. I let my piano play and it sang me this song, jazzy and romantic, swinging and rocking, lush harmonies and memorable motifs.

Don't miss the second part of the video! We shared the story of how this album came to life :) If you have difficulties understanding our accents, just turn on the subtitles :)

We would also like to ask for your support! We plan to shoot a professional music video this year, which would be a rather expensive project to pull, paying from our own pockets. You can help funding it by purchasing an album on BandCamp. Thank you!

Gratitude

*** PLEASE SUPPORT MY MUSIC BY REPOSTING, THANK YOU ***

This is an very emotional and beautiful piece of Celtic piano music. Played on solo piano it is suitable for meditation or study. There is a distinct spiritual feel to the song and it is based upon traditional Irish folk melodies.

Miette - PIANO DAY 2018

I've noticed in my stats on soundcloud my most popular track last months is Joy. It gets a lot of attention and plays. So I've decided to make a live recording of this track. With 'Piano Day' so close by (29 March)... It feels right to post this Solo Piano version of "Joy".
I hope you enjoy it!

Expedition

In between composing, writing, rehearsing, and recording, I have been improvising a lot, and this track is the result of one of those moments. It is very different from what I am working on but, somehow, it holds my essence, and it makes me feel well. Instead of letting it disappear along with many other pieces that I never share with others, I have decided to publish it in celebration of #pianoday2018. I hope you enjoy it.

Composed, performed and produced by Sergio Díaz De Rojas.

Untitled (Piano Day 2018)

This is my solo piano piece composed for Piano Day 2018: http://www.pianoday.org/

It is the coming together of two ideas I had been playing with for a file, both inspired by the movement of snow and how it seems to float as well as fall. Recorded one night with 1 mic on my miniature Wagner upright piano using the felt pedal. (sorry for the poor recording) 

You can download the full piece here: https://benstanbridge.bandcamp.com/track/floating-falling

Composition Notes: 

“Go Anywhere” is a composition that originally was written in the early stages of a relationship. The spark of this new connection poured over into my music writing and helped initially birth the piece. Shortly after the initial writing of the piece though the woman told me she “didn’t see this going anywhere”. The ending opened up a vista of possibilities and freedom that carried over to the song as well. Unlike other pieces I’ve written, just when I thought I had finished writing it, a new aspect of it unfolded and revealed itself to me. Over the course of almost two years it’s continued to evolve and grow sounding very different than when it originally came to be. 

This is by no means a “final” version of the song. Even after I recorded the piece new aspects of it came to the surface. I can imagine “Go Anywhere” in a variety of instrument configurations and arrangements. I imagine it will continue to grow and evolve going wherever it chooses.
