The title track of my new 2025 album of original instrumentals was originally written in 1980 as a free-form lyrical melody designed to accompany a long-lost poem by Cindy Beckett, and has evolved into a longer effort with added chapters, culminating in a finale whose soaring melody and poignant chords evoke a sense of hope and renewal, a fitting tribute to the power of the human spirit to persevere in the face of adversity.

For the full album of 11 of my early compositions, re-imagined and re-worked by long-time performing partner and computer wizard RE-VO, visit the album's Bandcamp page at https://colmanjones.bandcamp.com/album/shining-light

Shining Light

Colman Jones is a Canadian composer, pianist and visual artist, who enjoys interacting and collaborating with other creative souls.. His work is all over the map musically, from soft ambient pieces to more conventional pop/rock tracks, and some pretty strange electronic sounds as well.

Also available on Soundcloud are some selected solo piano works (https://soundcloud.com/solo-piano-colman-jones), as well as a collection of odd noises and soundscapes (https://soundcloud.com/colmans-odd-noises) and some tracks from bands Colman has performed with, namely 241-2121 (https://soundcloud.com/241-2121-the-band) and NRG (https://soundcloud.com/nrg-the-band).
