The idea for this piece came from a conversation/argument with a friend about which hymn tunes are 'bangers' (yes I'm aware how nerdy this is). I loved that we had very different but equally passionate opinions and so I decided to compose something which used two of our favourite tunes as the source material. 

The result was a light-hearted and exciting piece, radically different in tone from the original melodies, and as occasionally ludicrous as the conversation that inspired it.

For the purists, there is also a version for Organ.

Echoes of Memory

Piano Music Sleep

Ariane Rewound  evokes the idea of ​​revisiting one's past by drawing the thread of an emotion. Rather than leaving the labyrinth, this composition invites you to go back by pulling on the thread of your memories. First minimal, the very simple pattern develops passing from one hand to the other. Becoming more and more complex, the left Hand amplifies the emotions of the past.

The intensity of the dialogue between the two hands reaches its climax and thus releases the energy of past emotion. Then little by little we return to the increasingly refined pattern in order to find the calm and serenity of the present time.

The Mystic Way – A Journey Through the Dao

This piano solo is inspired by the profound wisdom of Daoism, capturing the essence of the ineffable and eternal. Originally written with lyrics drawn from ancient philosophy, the melody now speaks through the purity of the piano, conveying the depth of the Dao without the need for words.

Like a coin with only one side, true understanding transcends definitions. The Dao cannot be spoken, nor can it be named—yet it flows through all things, giving rise to existence and shaping the universe. This piece invites the listener into a space of contemplation, where the seen and unseen intertwine, where mystery deepens with every note, and where the path to understanding lies beyond mere perception.

Let this music be your gateway to serenity, an echo of the eternal harmony that connects all things.
