So Long Without You

THIS SONG WAS INSPIRED BY  REV TIMOTHY WRIGHT. HE WAS A LONG TIME FRIEND OF THE FAMILY. MY FATHER ACTUALLY TAUGHT HIM HIS FIRST CHORDS & RECOMMENDED HIM TO PLAY AT THE HISTORIC WASHINGTON TEMPLE C.O.G.I.C. THE MERE GENIUS OF HIS TALENT WAS SIMPLIFYING COMPLEX LYRICS & MUSICAL ARRANGEMENTS.

The profound emotional impact of the September 8, 2023 earthquake in Morocco inspired this composition as a tribute to the victims and a celebration of the nation’s rich musical heritage. Initially conceived as a sextet, the piece was premiered on June 9th by the American Modern Ensemble under the baton of Eric Bodnar. It subsequently underwent a transformative journey when my friend and fellow composer, Ian Weise, proposed an adaptation for Pierrot ensemble during the Mostly Modern Festival in Saratoga Springs, June 2024. His vision of a 2025 concert featuring this arrangement ignited a new creative path.

This piece stands as the inaugural movement of a larger suite exploring the multifaceted layers of Moroccan musical tradition, with a particular focus on the evocative melodies of the High Atlas. By reinterpreting these melodies through the unique lens of the Pierrot ensemble—flute, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano—I seek to create a contemporary musical dialogue that honors the past while forging a new path forward.

Through this composition, I hope to offer a poignant and evocative musical experience that resonates with listeners on both an emotional and intellectual level.

Purpose of Existence

Black Forest

A composition depicting perhaps the midst of snowy winter, where the encroaching cold is held at bay with a memory of a loved one. 
Harmonically I mostly stayed in D minor/major, with a brief excursion in G minor. I've attempeted to write a middle passage in F major, but the two themes I've managed to come up with simply didn't fit with the rest of the music, but hey, at least I have two new themes for next pieces. 
Completed in the March of 2025.

Intermezzo For Piano, D Minor

Lamenta eleni silmë was born out of a desire to capture the fragility and beauty of an ephemeral moment, like the light of the stars on a deep night. When I composed this piece, I wanted to create a bridge between the past and the present, between ancient traditions and the modern soul. Each note and rhythm was carefully chosen to transport the listener into a state of deep tranquility, where time seems to stand still. At the same time, I intended for this piece to be a lament of sorrow, a cry of grief that brings comfort to those facing loss and sadness.

I chose Quenya over Sindarin or any other Elvish languages because Quenya is the language of the High Elves, those who lived in the blessed realm of Valinor, closest to the divine. It carries with it a sense of purity, timelessness, and a deep connection to the origins of Elven culture. Quenya’s lyrical and ancient beauty felt like the perfect medium to express the ethereal and almost sacred nature of this lament. Unlike Sindarin, which is more commonly spoken in Middle-earth and has a more earthly tone, Quenya evokes a world of fantasy, filled with mystery and nostalgia, adding a timeless dimension to this creation. The female voice, echoing as if from another world, is meant to soothe and provide solace, while the traditional instruments, such as the cithern, add an organic, almost ritualistic texture.

I wanted the listener to feel enveloped by an inner warmth, a light that guides them through a chaotic world. This piece is an invitation to introspection, a chance to lose oneself in thought and find a moment of peace amidst the tumult of daily life. Lamenta eleni silmë is more than a melody; it is a song of lament for those seeking inner light, a moment of breath in an ever-moving universe.

I am also offering the lyrics in Quenya, along with their approximate translation in English, for those who wish to delve deeper into the meaning behind the music.

May the stars shine and the blood burn,
Sing, spirits, may your blessing be.
The shadow of departure whispers in the night,
Wordless whispers are the heavy burden of darkness.

May the Sun rise at the appointed hour,
Ah! All is lost,
The heart of the friend will find solace,
Ilúvatar, we shall find the light on Earth.

The lost song flows through memory,
Under the light of the stars and the golden flames,
I call the light, I call the flower,
Let them perish, let them perish, may they fall.

Introduction in English:
One of my oldest friends was diagnosed with Asperger's autism as a teenager. And almost everyone told him that he would have to stay alone for the rest of his life because he was incapable of love and relationships due to his illness. 
He also increasingly gave up hope that he would ever be able to find a life partner. He often described to me with sorrow that he kept falling in love and longed for a romantic relationship, but that he often felt like he was under a glass bell, which cut him off from closer contact with women. 
And when he had already let go of the hope of ever finding a woman at his side, he met "Lilli" at the age of almost 60; a woman who, like him, is very unique and has been described by many people around her as quite quirky and eccentric.
The lyrics to this wonderfully unconventional love affair make use of many metaphors and symbols from the world of plants and nature. It is also the way Freddy & Lilli often communicate with each other, as they find direct communication too threatening.
I hope that my song Freddy & Lilli will help the two of them to grow old together lovingly. And basically that the song will give hope to all those who are currently lonely and longing for an intimate partnership.

Lyrics in English_

Freddy & Lilli

The rapeseed fields are wide
The yellow light, it scatters
The streets are blue
The morning dew glistens peacefully

The fences open
No more curtains
The entrance is free
The birds make themselves heard

And the trees are full of stories for you
They bend down their branches
And they carry you gently through the first night of love

Freddy & Lilli
Mmh, Mmh, Mmh, Mmh

The rock gardens are
Blind in the bloom of love
Their time is over
From deep below a cry

That bursts the deathbed
That receives first life
The asbestos carpet breaks

A face slips up and it speaks:
Let the armour of gold come off
Let us kneel down
Feel the grace of the sparkle
Protected by the moss forest
Be a bridge of light

Freddy & Lilli
Mmh, Mmh, Mmh, Mmh

Deutscher Originaltext:

Freddy & Lilli

Die Rapsfelder sind weit
Das Gelblicht, es streut
Die Strassen sind blau
Friedlich glänzt der Morgentau

Die Zäune gehen auf
Keine Vorhänge mehr
Der Einlaß ist frei
Die Vögel verschaffen sich Gehör

Und die Bäume sind voll von Geschichten für Euch
Sie neigen ihre Äste herab
Und sie tragen Euch sanft durch die erste Liebesnacht

Freddy & Lilli
Mmh, Mmh, Mmh, Mmh

Die Steingärten sind
Im Liebesblühn‘ blind
Ihre Zeit ist vorbei
Von tief unten ein Schrei

Der das Totenbett sprengt
Erstes Leben empfängt
Der Asbestteppich bricht

Ein Gesicht schlüpft empor und es spricht:

Laß‘ den Goldpanzer ziehn‘
Lass uns niederknien
Die Gnade des Funkens verspürn‘
Vom Mooswald beschützt
Eine Leuchtbrücke sein

Freddy & Lilli
Mmh, Mmh, Mmh, Mmh

Sacrifice

Welcome to the second in the musical series "Of Fire and Ice", where we explore the mysterious world of ancient Norse Myths! What did the Gods hear in their minds during their adventures? Listen to the distinct sounds of pagan frame drums and soaring targelharpa ‘fiddles’, flutes and the harp-like lyre. All this blends with orchestral instrumentation, sounds of nature, harmonies and the soaring sounds of the trumpet of James Hill.

Episode #2:  “The Mead of Poetry”
After war between the Aesir and Vanir gods, a peace was sealed by creating a being named Kvasir from their combined saliva. However, two dwarves, Fjalar and Galar, killed Kvasir and mixed his blood with honey to create the ‘Mead of Poetry’, which granted anyone who drank it the ability to compose poetry and gain wisdom.
The dwarves later killed a giant named Gilling and his wife, attracting the wrath of Gilling's son, Suttung. To save themselves, the dwarves offered the mead to Suttung, who hid it in a cave guarded by his daughter, Gunnlod.
Odin, seeking the mead, embarked on a complex quest, using trickery and disguise. He worked for Baugi, Suttung's brother, and eventually convinced Baugi to help him reach the cave. Odin seduced Gunnlod, spending three nights with her in exchange for three sips of the mead. However, Odin drank all of it, transformed into an eagle, and escaped back to Asgard. Odin distributed the mead to the gods and the most talented poets, although a small portion was lost, thus becoming the source of poetic inspiration.

Wahe Guru (feat. Zion's Arrow)

Water is a charming smooth jazz composition that flows with the essence of Earth's natural harmony. The track features warm, soothing rhodes, an enveloping saxophone that glides effortlessly through the melody, and a sonorous, clicky organ adding depth and texture. Through its fluid, gentle transitions, Water evokes the subtle transformations of our planet, mirroring the serene yet powerful forces that shape the Earth and its waters. The artwork complements this vision, depicting the Earth with its life-giving waters, symbolizing balance, growth, and unity in nature.

With A Night in Edinburgh, I wanted to capture the serene beauty and quiet contemplation that the city of Edinburgh inspires. This piece was born from a place of introspection, blending gentle melodies with a soft, romantic undertone to evoke a sense of peace and longing.

Through the piano, which I play throughout the piece, I sought to express the subtle emotions of an evening by the sea—the stillness, the soft breeze, and the distant sound of waves lapping at the shore. The music reflects moments of reflection and calm, with a sense of nostalgia woven into each note. It's about finding beauty in quiet spaces, in the moments of solitude that often allow us to connect with deeper feelings.

I hope this piece takes you on a personal journey, a peaceful escape to a place where time seems to stand still, and where the only sounds are those of the heart and the sea.

A Night In Edinburgh

Another piece based on the synth compositions from my long-past teenage years. The main theme (slightly rewritten) comes from a short piece I named The Mist Majesty, which, in my opinion, had a distinct autumnal flavor that I wanted to preserve and emphasize in this rewrite. It is also about something else, but autumn is unmistakably present, and I think the watercolor I chose as the cover fits perfectly.
Completed in April of 2025.

Morceaux For Piano, E Minor

Music of Silence

Liana’s Daydream was written for a 9-year-old Conservatorium student who is quite wistful herself, but coincidently, Liana’s Lounge, a sculptural park, also sits outside the Conservatorium at South Bank, a perfect place for a lunch break and contemplating. The piece begins with a misty version of a clock chime and remains in a reverie throughout. There are moments in this piece where the mind wanders and dreams unexpected things.

"Fluidity" is a slow immersion into a fluid, cinematic soundscape. Blending ambient, experimental electronica, and textured sound design, each minute invites you to drift deeper.

No rigid beats, no imposed rhythm — just evolving pads, ethereal glitches, and a continuous sense of weightless motion. It’s musical breathing, a moment suspended in space.

💡 Perfect for creating, meditating, or traveling deep within.
🎧 Best experienced on headphones to capture the full subtlety of the mix.

Inspired in part by waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge, Pacific Northwest, USA.
