Very beautiful and soft beginning, Bruce! :)

Flowed like a rain would on a beach in the wind. My imagination captured as good instrumental music should. Beautiful and seeminly effortless. ❤️

MAURICE RAVEL ~ Bolero
(Radio Symphony Orchestra Ljubljana - Direttore Samo Hubad)

Boléro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece by Maurice Ravel. Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian ballerina Ida Rubenstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel's most famous musical composition.[2] Before Boléro, Ravel had composed large scale ballets (such as Daphnis et Chloé, composed for the Ballets Russes 1909–1912), suites for the ballet (such as the second orchestral version of Ma Mère l'Oye, 1912), and one-movement dance pieces (such as La Valse, 1906–1920). Apart from such compositions intended for a staged dance performance, Ravel had demonstrated an interest in composing re-styled 
dances, from his earliest successes (the 1895 Menuet and the 1899 Pavane) to his more 
mature works like Le tombeau de Couperin (which takes the format of a dance suite).

Boléro epitomises Ravel's preoccupation with restyling and reinventing dance movements. It was also one of the last pieces he composed before illness forced him into retirement: the two piano concertos and the Don Quichotte à Dulcinée song cycle were the only compositions that followed Boléro.

Mark The Beast - Breathe (feat. Niks)

This year I contracted pnuemonia & was bed ridden for a week. Normally my health is pretty good & sick days are far & few between. So the recovery for this sickness, took a little time & during that period I sat down at the piano & composed this improvisation as a way of reflecting on how important our health is. Movie stars & the wealthy seem to have all anyone would wish for, but if their well being isn't up to scratch, then it's all for nothing.

Recovery

Using a 4 note motif, I've created a hypnotic, but soothing repeated passage & then underplayed it with a constantly moving left hand accompaniment. This was a challenge by the group Piano Soundboard. To come up with a tune that featured a 4 note motif. Using my tried & tested composition formula, I just turned on the recorder & improvised this in a one pass process. I hope this brings you some peace in a very busy world?

Motif-ation

Improvised a 2 only chord song - I extensively used a "broken chord" concept so I could play individual notes of the chord to break up what would have been just solid chord monotony, but there are just two chords in the entire piece.  It's not that long because how much excitement can you get from just two chords!?

Hugo - Ambient Mandala (Clean) 3573 4:16 14/04/2019

Submitted for the Crescendo Challenge for Piano Soundboard.  Designed to be one complete crescendo, I did not put any other instrumentation to increase that volume, rather stuck with piano only.  Kinda' grows on ya!

All black keys - the ending is not a mistake...just quite ending

Using musical instruments to portray things we see, is not a new phenomenon, but I really love the pictures music can conjure up in your minds eye. In this case I went for a storm brewing, with lightning & then light rain. I recorded this piano & then used the sides & frame to generate thunder noises. A heavy use of reverb, helped add the final illusion of a storm.

Rain on me
