Far From the Madding Crowd

Oh WOW! Over 2000 plays of this very personal track. To think I was hesitant to even post it... Thank you so much! ❤️

In our lives, we are granted the opportunity to witness the departure of our loved ones. Some depart through doors, never to return, yet still exist somewhere. Others leave suddenly, unexpectedly. Yet some depart when we are somewhat prepared, for their age predisposes them to it. However, there are also departures more challenging... when we observe the tree of the mind of a beloved, from which memories' leaves fall, and even the freshest, youngest cannot hold on to it. We cannot help, we can only watch how they fall...

Composing this little piece was very personal. It was combined with the realization of a fact from my immediate surroundings. I left all imperfections of my playing because of how I felt at that moment. It wasn't an improvisation, it was an interpretation of a theme that I've developed few minutes earlier.

Today we welcome Makoto Sawai, a Japanese pianist and composer, to the ad21 family with his beautiful single “Deep Love”. Performed on his own acoustic piano, Deep Love is a gently hypnotic piece that unfolds with a quiet devotion. Its nostalgic and melancholic tones invite listeners to pause, breathe, and journey inward, or perhaps to a distant memory. Let yourself be carried away by this serene and heartfelt composition, now available on all streaming platforms.

Un Fiore Che Attende Di Essere Colto

"The most powerful and magical language is music. The reason for this is that music is the original language. Music is not ornamented poetry, and poetry is not ornamented prose. Poetry is fallen music, and prose is fallen poetry. Prose is not the original language; it is poetry made practical. Even poetry is not the original language; it is music made speakable, it is the words of music separated from their music. In the beginning was music." (Peter Kreeft, Philosophy of Tolkien)
