Good morning everyone, this theme is one that woke me up one sunny day when I heard someone improvising downstairs on the piano, so I stumbled down the stairs to capture the melody and... here it is !

1 jour de plus (wit Mr Coronas) [Prod (pi)Art] - Axiruu Samaan

Friends.... 

back on the piano, inspired by a wonderful vacation at the baltic sea and with some fresh music... Anmut will be the title track of the new album I am working on and planning to release in 2014. As per usual I am releasing all songs here on soundcloud before....

Thanks a lot to "Mirko Costantini" for his permission to use his awesome photo for my cover art for the upcoming album.

Unfortunately my upgrade to Cubase 7 as my main DAW has been delayed for a while, so I'm back to using FL Studio. Fortunately, I have this piano-orchestral hybrid track to make up for that :) Enjoy!

A Night To Remember - Beautiful Orchestral/Piano Track

The 12 Valkyries are figures from the Nordic mythology - they collect the slain heroes from the battlefield and bring them to "Valhalla", the "holy hall".
Pianist Carlos Márquez (https://soundcloud.com/cmdigital) was so kind to play some of them - enjoy his breathtaking interpretations!!
Eventually we will also release a Valkyrie album in the future.

The whole series is devoted to Isabella, my little Valkyrie...

Dirk Maassen - Viva - (Project Ascolta 2012)

First recording and performance of any of my compositions.

Carlos M (http://soundcloud.com/cmdigital) recently asked me if I would like him to try something from my compositions. He was curious if I am open to the idea. Could I reply: no? :-)

He played my SMS - slow, minimal and simple piano piece written in 16.0 bars. How well he played? You have to check it yourself, but I can assure, you won't be disappointed. Human touch really makes difference (compare with MIDI recording straight from Lilypond: http://soundcloud.com/przemoc86/sea-waves)

Thank you very much, Carlos, for your scrummy rendition and being the first! (Hopefully not the last one!)

After I travelled down so many roads the last couple of years I finally met this girl. 
To me she is beauty, she is inspiration, she is hope, she is love. She calls herself butterfly and since she fell in love with that song I dedicate it to her. So, this song is for you my butterfly, may you sit on my heart for a long and never forget how to fly !

Dreams - where escape comes.  
notes -  always sweetly played.
Darkness of night 
a drifting calmness
as the music spills
from tireless hands

序曲「マゼラニカ」−Magallanica Overture−

Classically trained pianist. I enjoy playing not only the traditional repertoire but also pieces from unusual composers.
