Music is the poetry of the air.  ~Richter



Poetry

A few years ago I lived in a dorm near the campus's music hall. While walking to and from class I would sometimes hear some other students' playing the piano in one of the private practice rooms. The way they played the piano was so enchanting that I would sit on a step outside of the room and just listen. I was envious at how they could portray their emotions and thoughts so eloquently and precise while I was such a scattered, confused mess. But clarity would come to me for those brief moments I listened to their songs. And now I will always have a weakness for a beautifully done piano composition.

Catharsis (Game) OST - Preview

The Saddest Word of all is Love

the saddest word of all is Love
it cries tears that turn its head
to gaze on the arguments of the undead
as they pretend to fight for life
under the shadow of another dark night
where upon the dying deeds already done
it treatens to break the hearts of everyone
to speak a spoken word so rare - so kind
under the shadow of another distant kiss
two hearts prepare to miss each other
one has given her heart to another
under the shadow of another dark night
two eyes wallow in the sadness of life.

This piece is dedicated to Alison

The Saddest Word Of All Is Love

"Easy listening" might not be the most appropriate attribute of this piece. I tried to create something unique and idiosyncratic, exploring my own inner universe. I hope it is still digestible or even compelling for some listeners :-)   

Sundews are most beautiful carnivorous plants. They lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surfaces. The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition of the soil in which they grow. Various species, which vary greatly in size and form, can be found growing natively on every continent.

Both the botanical name (from the Greek δρόσος: drosos = "dew, dewdrops") and the English common name (sundew, derived from Latin ros solis, meaning "dew of the sun") refer to the glistening drops of mucilage at the tip of each tentacle that resemble drops of morning dew.

Week #6 - back to my piano solo. Closer mics, softer sounds. Much more intimate, as if i were playing right beside you. This one is my favourite so far. Download it (it's free) and if you think it's worth, please share it. Headphones recommended.

OPSM SunshineTour Greensleeves LOVES Folk

The picture is taken from the Wong Kar Wai Movie "2046"

Story of a woman who took the long route instead of the short one to find the man she loves ...

"Through its dynamic co-operation TrondheimSolistene (the Trondheim Soloists) and 2L has always sort to stretch the boundaries of what is possible to convey to the listener, aiming for the ultimate recorded listening experience. With the Serenade the team has taken things one step further with the TrondheimSolistene truly justifying their name. By placing each individual next to someone from a different voice rather than sitting in conventional sections we are working at the very outer limits of what is possible and creating chamber music at the highest level" - Øyvind Gimse, 2012.

http://www.2l.no/pages/album/090.html

We allocated two weeks in 2011 to record this new album. Artistic director Øyvind Gimse and his associate Geir Inge Lotsberg initially chose two pieces that represent, in their estimation, "the most beautiful music ever composer for the string orchestra": Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence and his Serenade for Strings. Aiming for a 90 minutes program left 30 more minutes to record. So the orchestra and 2L logged on to Facebook and asked the listeners worldwide what they'd like to hear. And the audience responded: Nielsen's Suite Opus 1. A little gem that would exploit the Trondheim Soloists' singular way with Nordic repertoire.

Inspired by Morten Lindberg's extensive work with choral music, the Tchaikovsky's SERENADE was recorded with the ensemble placed in mixed voices, meaning no one is sitting beside anyone playing the same part, creating a totally new soundscape to the music. Carl Nielsen's SUITE opus 1 is recorded in a more "traditional" way in these sessions: Facebook Photo Album - Recording Sessions Part I

What we recorded in May 2011 is now published exclusively as high resolution audio files, by streaming and on vinyl. Then our recordings from October will add up to a full release on Pure Audio Blu-ray in May 2012.

DXD (352.8kHz/24bit) DMM (Direct Metal Master)
180g audiophile grade vinyl

TrondheimSolistene (The Trondheim Soloists) are regarded as one of the top chamber orchestras in the world. Their DIVERTIMENTI and FOLK STYLE were both nominated for a total of five American GRAMMY Awards in categories "Best Small Ensemble", "Best Engineered Album" and "Best Surround Sound Album".

The music captured by 2L features Norwegian composers and performers, and an international repertoire reflected in the Nordic atmosphere. The surround sound recordings of Lindberg Lyd not only transforms the entire listening experience, more radically, these innovative recordings overturn some very basic concepts regarding how music is played and even composed. 2L emphasizes surround sound with Pure Audio Blu-ray and HiRes file distribution, and have garnered no less than 12 American GRAMMY nominations over the past six years.

The Rain Was Ending, And Light 
(by Laurence Binyon)

The rain was ending, and light
Lifting the leaden skies.
It shone upon ceiling and floor
And dazzled a child's eyes.

Pale after fever, a captive
Apart from his schoolfellows,
He stood at the high room's window
With face to the pane pressed close,

And beheld an immense glory
Flooding with fire the drops
Spilled on miraculous leaves
Of the fresh green lime-tree tops.

Washed gravel glittered red
To a wall, and beyond it nine
Tall limes in the old inn yard
Rose over the tall inn sign.

And voices arose from beneath
Of boys from school set free,
Racing and chasing each other
With laughter and games and glee.

To the boy at the high room-window,
Gazing alone and apart,
There came a wish without reason,
A thought that shone through his heart.

I'll choose this moment and keep it,
He said to himself, for a vow,
To remember for ever and ever
As if it were always now.

The Rain Was Ending, And Light

Moonstruck

A few years back my mother, Rose, fell in love with another man, Klaus. It was an amazing love story ... and it was so cute and funny to see my mother behaving excited like a teenager. 
Unfortunately their love soon was shaded by tragedy, as Klaus became terminally ill and so both just had a short time left with each other. Nevertheless they made the best out of every single minute left for their passionate and deep love until Klaus finally died holding Roses hand. 

I created this piece in memoriam of Klaus and dedicate it to Rose. May the light still shine for you!

The image is taken from the internet and does not depict the real Rose and Klaus. 
The music is inspired by the soundtrack of the movie "In the Mood For Love".

Yuki-onna (雪女, snow woman) is a spirit in Japanese mythology. Yuki-onna appears on snowy nights as a tall, beautiful woman with long black hair and blue lips. Her inhumanly pale or even transparent skin makes her blend into the snowy landscape. She is at the same time beautiful and serene, yet ruthless in killing unsuspecting mortals. Like the snow and winter weather she represents, Yuki-onna has a softer side. She sometimes lets would-be victims go for various reasons. In one popular Yuki-onna legend, for example, she sets a young boy free because of his beauty and age. She makes him promise never to speak of her, but later in life, he tells the story to his wife who reveals herself to be the snow woman. She reviles him for breaking his promise, but spares him again, this time out of concern for their children (but if he dares mistreat their children, she will return with no mercy. Luckily for him, he is a loving father).

In June 2013 the decision taken by the singer-guitarist Niccolò Mancini to leave the band, left the place to Niccolò Carli a young talented musician with a strong attitude and passion in folk and traditional american music who was immediately able to play all the 250 tracks of our repertory giving an essential support to the live music show of Fabio Capecchi and Simone Pierallini. Convinced that studying, touring and composing their own music would help them grow professionally, Niccolò Carli is the official singer and rhythm guitarist of our new project called FANCY HOPPERS

Why in the night sky are the lights hung?
Why is the earth moving round the sun?
Floating in the vacuum with no purpose, not a one
Why in the night sky are the lights hung?

Why is life made only for to end?
Why do I do all this waiting then?
Why this frightened part of me that's fated to pretend?
Why is life made only for to end?

In the city only for a while
Here to face the fortune and the bile
I heard you on the radio, I couldn't help but smile
In the city only for a while

Why in the night sky are the lights hung?
Why is the earth moving round the sun?
Floating in the vacuum with no purpose, not a one
Why in the night sky are the lights hung?

I ♥ Nicole Chen™ -STEP INTO MY MIND [25th May H-Artistry Spice Penang]

Returning to my native village after many years’ absence: 
Ill, I put up at a country inn and listen to the rain. 
One robe, one bowl is all I have. 
I light incense and strain to sit in meditation; 
All night a steady drizzle outside the dark window --  
Inside, poignant memories of these long years of pilgrimage.
(Ryōkan, 18th century, translated by John Stevens) 


Flute: https://soundcloud.com/soulful-woods 
Piano: https://soundcloud.com/cis-minor 

This lovely music came to me more or less as a gift: some weeks back I recorded the piano (https://soundcloud.com/cis-minor/21st-century-monk-free). The incredible Soulful Woods felt inspired to create an enchanting flute expression - we already planned to do a collab for some longer time. 
From the first time I had heard his music I was intrigued by the sound, the authenticity and the depth of emotional expression in his flute play. His music is pure and thorough. Listening to his music is bringing peace and awareness to me, but still it breathes some sense of solitude and sorrow. Have a listen to this most beautiful and soulful music here: https://soundcloud.com/soulful-woods

Not a place in me
For make believe
Gotta touch and feel

It can sit with me 
And echo
If I don't  reply
I tried

PRODUCTION AND PIANO BY @xtaticproduction
VOCALS, BASS, GUITAR, PERCUSSION AND WINEGLASSES BY @heavysaturn

Honey I told you
these things never last.
And one of these days now,
you`ll start dreaming of the past.

When life was once too short for all 
the things we`d do and the shots we`d call
An endless summer without a fall
When promises were meant to keep
And nighttime wasn`t meant for sleep
A love story at it`s peak

Doesn`t it feel good
to know that you`ve been loved
And doesn`t it make you
laugh when you think of

The day when we all got lost on the old mans farm
just trying to get across 
It was only then i knew what love was
Sunday mornings that never ended and 
hangovers that never mended
A love story at its peak

A Lovestory

Some people ask: can one make a living from music? Let me ask back: can one make a living without music?
