fantastic ... wasnt expecting the strings to come in (fit just beautifully - a lovely little lift to those beautiful chords)

and it just keeps getting better & better 

Yes, yes yes! - the strings entrance and presence is lilting and very appropriate - 1:18-1:20 entrance of piano volume wonderful.  You have a good ability to build tension and emotions and a very good feel for when to "pull back" and start the conclusion of a track - I see it in all your other tracks too - keep up the good work, you have a beautiful talent and are expressing it so nicely.

if i close my eyes i can just be swept away :)

8Dio Adagietto: "Adagietto Moderato" by Ran Duan

I had a couple of collabs with Ivan Ujevic (https://soundcloud.com/iohannes) before, adding ambient piano to his magnificent ambient guitar. The very recent one was just a couple of days ago: https://soundcloud.com/iohannes/elegy-no-3-ft-milana-zilnik
Same time Ivan asked me if I can play the solo piano version of the piece. He didn't have the note sheet so I asked if it's ok to just interpret the piece with an improvisation rather than trying to follow the original composition precisely. Ivan gave his approval and we recorded this interpretation by "cutting" the original into 5-10 seconds parts and improvising on each of them separately, then merging everything into one piece.

Christian Smith is a UK based composer and Multi-instrumentalist. Working from his home studio in rural England, Christian uses a unique blend of production elements, and both ambient and orchestral instrumentation to create intense, immersive, narrative driven original scores.

Commercially, Christian has composed music for clients that include The O2, Mercedes, as well as National / International Tourism campaigns on behalf of Visit UK and Visit Faroe Islands. His music most notably featured on a promotional short for his hometown of Portsmouth. This video was played as a part of the International D-Day Commemorations where World Leaders and UK Royalty were in attendance. 

Independently, Christian’s compositions have achieved global success. His orchestral and cinematic scores have amassed over 1.5 million streams and he regularly features in Soundcloud’s viral charts. Indeed ‘Falling Leaves’, one of his most successful compositions, went on to inspire light artist Alaa Minawi’s installation ‘My Light Is Your Light’ at The 2014 Amsterdam Light Festival. The light installation, which portrays the journey of six Syrian Refugees travelling across Europe, has since featured in cities across the globe, spanning three continents.

Working out of his own professional home studio, Christian is totally self sufficient, and can deliver fully mixed and mastered scores
