Cassette

First recording and performance of any of my compositions.

Carlos M (http://soundcloud.com/cmdigital) recently asked me if I would like him to try something from my compositions. He was curious if I am open to the idea. Could I reply: no? :-)

He played my SMS - slow, minimal and simple piano piece written in 16.0 bars. How well he played? You have to check it yourself, but I can assure, you won't be disappointed. Human touch really makes difference (compare with MIDI recording straight from Lilypond: http://soundcloud.com/przemoc86/sea-waves)

Thank you very much, Carlos, for your scrummy rendition and being the first! (Hopefully not the last one!)

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 !

When I initially saw this gate I thought of passing through it as if entering into a different world and so is the music...

This Version is my first cross instrumental collab on SC and I feel very honoured that Lyod put all his passion and feel into this song to let this song become a wonderful journey beginning right behind the gate entering into a strange and mystical world of sound....

Dreams - where escape comes.  
notes -  always sweetly played.
Darkness of night 
a drifting calmness
as the music spills
from tireless hands
