Dirk Maassen - Solstice d'été  (pls. find me on spotify)

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.

Reflections

Dirk Maassen: Addio

After I travelled down so many roads the last couple of years I finally met this girl. 
To me she is beauty, she is inspiration, she is hope, she is love. She calls herself butterfly and since she fell in love with that song I dedicate it to her. So, this song is for you my butterfly, may you sit on my heart for a long and never forget how to fly !

Dirk Maassen - The Gate (Solo Piano Version)

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
