Complete preludes by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski

"The Preludes show a strong influence of the Chopin tradition, nursed at the Szymanowski manor house with particular piety, as well as clear traces of familiarity with the early works of the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin, who shared with Szymanowski the exceptional, especially for those days, fascination with Chopin’s music. In form and texture these works seem to refer directly to the model created by Chopin; they are characterised by such features as form-shaping by initial motif transformations, polyrhythm combining “duple” and “triple” patterns; a polyphonic texture and rich ornamentation. On the other hand, Scriabin’s influence can be perceived in the avantgarde harmonic language of the preludes, rich in dissonant consonances, as well as a particular type of expressiveness – very powerful, penetrating, with a clearly indicated climax (musicological literature sometimes compares Szymanowski and Scriabin as the two representatives of the so-called Slavonic expressionism – with good reason)."

Dirk Maassen: Caduco

This piece features mostly acoustic guitar with some clean electric to start it off. I always like messing with synthetic instruments and blending them with organic, and that happens mostly in the second section of the song.  I really enjoyed the score to The Last of Us, which reminded me a lot of Fallout 3 and Red Dead Redemption, so I think that's what steered me towards creating one like this.

A. Jorge Ben & Toquinho - Carolina, Carol Bela
AA. Joao Donato - Ara

Jorge Ben & Toquinho - Carolina, Carol Bela 

Jorge Ben is a name that any lover of Brazilian music will be very familiar with. He is widely regarded as the James Brown of Brazilian music and is famed for writing the Brazilian anthem ‘Mas Que Nada'. For the duet ‘Carolina, Carol Bela' he teamed up with the singer & guitarist Toquinho. Toquinho is best known for his collaborations, as composer and performer, with Bossa Nova poet Vinicius de Moraes.

'Carolina, Carol Bela' featured on the album ’Toquinho’ by Toquinho. It was originally released in 1970 on the small independent Brazilian label, RGE. This version is the first time it has been reissued as a 45.  

The song was sampled by DJ Marky and XRS for their Drum & Bass track ‘LK’ (V Recordings, 2002). This went on to be a huge chart hit across the world, and a number one hit in the UK.

Joao Donato - Ara

Joao Donato is a Brazilian Jazz and Bossa Nova Pianist. He has collaborated with many of the greats of Brazilian Music, including Tom Jobim, Astrud Gilberto and Gilberto Gil. He was one of the few Brazilian artists who went over to perform in the States during the Bossa Nova boom of the late 60’s. The song ‘Ara’ was originally released on his seminal album Quem é quem”, (EMI, 1973), an album that is full of great tracks and was considered as one of the 100 best albums in all times by the Rolling Stone magazine.

Soft and calm instrumental music that comes with snowy winter Alps footage. Perfect as music for relaxing, studying, learning, thinking, or as background music while planing your next big thing, or simply for filling your room with calm and positive ambient music. 

I captured the footage during a walk through the Gauertal, Vorarlberg in Austria in March 2013. You can watch my "Postcard from the Alps" here: https://relaxdaily.net/video-n066/

Please meet the world's best-selling vintage pop artist: Max Raabe and his Palast Orchester. Dashing, dapper and debonair, Max Raabe might have walked straight out of the Golden Age of Berlin in the 1920s. With his elegant poise, suave sophistication and silky-smooth baritone, he brings to life the songs and style of a bygone age.

Touring regularly in Europe and North America Max Raabe and his Palast Orchester do not only accumulate fans everywhere but also have top class celebrity admirers amongst them: Academy Award winning Christoph Waltz, ER's Julianna Margulies, Sir Simon Rattle and the extraordinary Mel Brooks. Studded with classics like "Singing In the Rain", "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" or "Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf" and an ingenious version of "Ooops! … I Did It Again" this album is a ticket to the Golden Age of Music where craftsmanship and artistry separated the boys from the men.

This platform never chase to amaze me.
I have met Jens....well I can't remember how or when but when I have listened to his guitar I felt literally in love with his talent.
The story of this collaboration is somehow different from all the others. I have recently started writing my piano composition on score and the rough version of Dreamers for piano only was sounding pretty static. Just for fun I have applied a guitar sound to the score and suddenly a new dimension opened to my ears. Nevertheless computer scoring, whatever instrument you apply, is pretty dry so I have contacted Jens to see whether he was interested to the score.

A new life has taken birth for the track.
Jens, only by ears, has taken the demo and he has re-arranged with his personal and tasteful style giving me the chance to actually improvise with piano afterwards.

I guess is not going to be the last collaboration with Jens

Thank you all and thank you Jens for your wonderful guitar soul

When I wrote this song I knew right from the beginning that Vicente (aka Science Teheran) would have been the perfect match to collab with. So I asked him if he was interested in adding some cello and instrumentation. He joined in and the result was beyond what I expected and touched me really deeply - I hope it will be the same with you !
