How this is needed, both advise and an encouragement, even a tonic for the soul to be taken by the ears and processed in the heart.

What a wonderful composer you are Philip! Brilliantly demonstrating the power of music!

You created an atmosphere that liberates the mind & beckons forth the calming cerebral effects that grant a release of inner stresses & provide that perfect state of self-serenity! “The soil in which the meditative mind can begin is the soil of everyday life, the strife, the pain, and the fleeting joy. It must begin there, and bring order, and from there move endlessly. But if you are concerned only with making order, then that very order will bring about its own limitation, and the mind will be its prisoner. In all this movement you must somehow begin from the other end, from the other shore, and not always be concerned with this shore or how to cross the river. You must take a plunge into the water, not knowing how to swim. And the beauty of meditation is that you never know where you are, where you are going, what the end is.” ― J. Krishnamurti

Absolutly stunning. Cinematic to the core!

Each sound held to its utmost harmonic beauty before releasing to the next...  Thank you :)

impermanence

Written for 12 piece string ensemble, the piece is based on the sight and feeling of looking out to sea. Using each instrument to evoke the layers of that view, the piece includes random - or aleatoric - elements, allowing the players to interpret parts of the score, meaning no two performances are quite the same - like the sea and sky themselves.

Mats Raynard's latest release, "Fading Lights", is a serene and cinematic piano composition from his upcoming EP, "Whispers of Winter". The piece captures a sense of introspection and elegance. Released under ad21’s reflective Neoclassical label, it offers listeners a glimpse into what lies ahead, setting the tone for the evocative journey Mats is about to unveil.

In silence

Originally composed for Thanassis Triaridis' play "Zyklon or the Destiny", this haunting score by Manos Milonakis returns with re-recorded parts, new mixing and mastering by Christos Megas, and stunning artwork by Tilman Z.

Inspired by themes of confinement, dark energy, and temporal suspension, Zyklon combines classical strings, evocative piano, music boxes, and cosmic electronic textures. Featuring Müriel Bostdorp (piano), Christina Georgeli (violin), Elisso Papastrati (violin), Thodoris Papadimitriou (cello), Björk Oskarsdottir (violin), and collaborations with Jacob David (piano) and Gregoire Blanc (theremin), the album bridges the past and present in a unique sonic narrative.

"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)
