Leave Something Behind

Composition and piano - Megan Jennifer Lewis
Mastering - Chris Adams

Someone very close to me has been working very hard to become a calmer person.  This has meant years of work : making peace with his late father, observing his emotional reactions, transcending them and letting go.

Recently he told me of a vivid dream about his father and I said that I felt that was an indication of the continuation of his journey, a journey to "calmer waters".  It inspired this piece of music.

You know who you are.  This piece is for you.  I hope it will add to your own feelings of peace and contentment and to those of all who listen to it. x

I decided to leave this piece as purely piano.  No other sounds, just the simplicity of the music shining through.  Calm waters have no ripples.

Now some important words on mixing and mastering. I have been lucky enough to meet someone recently with a lot more experience than I have with mixing and mastering. A professional with many year's experience, Chris Adams has kindly begun to mentor me in this area and has quickly become a good friend who is not afraid to give me creative direction, keep me grounded and disciplined and give me a lot of laughter along the way.  Chris has shown great patience as I try to improve the technical side of my music production skills.  He quickly discovered that I had a sub optimal recording set up and he has given me valuable advice and direction to improve my source recordings.  I am still learning and experimenting with this, doing my best to follow instructions because Chris and I live on opposite sides of the world.  He has mastered this piece for me and has offered to mentor me further so that I can improve my technical abilities with music software and production.  Exciting times!

To Chris, thank you.

what's left after - 5_13_24, 12.16 PM

I make music because it is where I let go of the have-to’s, and become part of something larger than myself. The language I speak on the keyboard when I improvise expresses a part of me that only comes out there at the moment of creation - when I’m fully connected and in the flow. In those moments when I disappear in the music, those are where I’m most fully alive. The musical question I pose to myself when I play is largely this: how can I release my inhibitions and let go of patterns sufficient to bring something entirely new, unexpected, and enlightening into the world, with structure, precision, clarity, and depth of expression. These pieces are meditations that are of me, but more precisely, they come through me. When I’m in the flow, I’m channeling the energy and only moderately directing it. The challenge is to be open to take risks while maintaining a structure, melody, and tempo that makes it interesting and satisfying enough to keep listening. I keep doing this nightly because it’s a language, because it’s a connection to something greater than myself, and because it’s very very relaxing.
