MEEM’S WALTZ


I recorded today, having the time to do so, the initial Solo Piano Version of this newer composition of mine.


I hope you will enjoy it and I hope to at least some of the pianists out there      
and not only, this will inspire them more to practice, to study and to evolve more in this wonderful world that Music is.

I am hugely thankful to Axel for his absolutely spellbinding and sublimely beautiful orchestration for my solo piano piece! It has been a great honour and pleasure to collaborate with such a highly talented musician and composer.

Please listen to Axel’s marvellous music here: @axel-m-501052973

Thank you very much for listening to this music, and we do hope that you will enjoy it!

Light and Darkness

On a cold, moonless night, Light and Darkness met in a deserted forest. The Light was nothing more than a weak spark, barely more than a glow. The Darkness was all-encompassing, thick as ink and impenetrable.

Darkness: "What are you doing here, little spark? Can't you see this is my realm? I devour everything that comes in my way."

Light: "I may be small, but I am still here. And as long as I exist, I am a sign of hope."

Darkness laughed deeply and thunderously, like an approaching storm.

Darkness: "Hope? You are nothing! A small breath is enough to extinguish you."

The Light flickered slightly, but it stood firm.

Light: "Perhaps you can extinguish me, but even in my disappearance, the memory of me remains. And wherever there is a spark of hope, new light can arise."

The Darkness was silent for a moment, then it thickened even more to suffocate the Light.

Darkness: "Try it then. I have already extinguished countless lights, and each time the night only became darker and more powerful."

The Light now shone a bit brighter, as if nourished by an inner strength.

Light: "Maybe you underestimate me. Every flame starts small, but it can grow and become stronger. It can bring warmth and light, even into the deepest darkness."

Darkness began to seethe, feeling that the Light was not weakening but growing stronger.

Darkness: "What nonsense! You will suffocate in my embrace!"

But the Light now glowed with a definite strength, its glow growing into a flame.

Light: "I am the light of hope and renewal. Even if you envelop me, I will break through. For where there is light, darkness cannot exist."

With these words, the Light spread further, its rays piercing through the Darkness, piercing it like a thousand tiny arrows. The Darkness whimpered, retreated, unable to bear the growing brightness.

Light: "It is time for you to retreat. Your grip is not infinite. Where there is light, darkness cannot exist."

The Darkness retreated further and further, until it was only a shadow in the corners. The Light now shone bright and clear, filling the forest with a warmth that had previously been missing.

Darkness: "You may have won, this time. But I will always return."

Light: "And I will always be here to push you back. For just as the day follows the night, so does light follow darkness. And in every battle, I will triumph again."

The Darkness finally disappeared, and the forest was bathed in warm, golden light. The Light had triumphed, and with it, hope returned to the world.

“'Walking For Water' is a piece of music that will be on a new album called sub-Saharan, to be released on all streaming services in the near future. It is dedicated to all those in sub-Saharan countries that walk to feed their families. It is their love, dedication perseverance and even hope that embodies all that we are as human beings. 
I am happy to be working with Axel again." (Andrew Janik)
The pleasure is all mine, Andy ☀️

"In this way, time appears as an elementary prerequisite of music. Of all the arts, music is closest to time, which is emphasized by corresponding statements that music is particularly fleeting and a “medium in time”." Quote, Wikipedia.de
What fascinates me is that immediate future is both created and anticipated in the process of musical improvisation. Incidentally, the ear is faster than the eye :-) ... as separate stimuli, the ear can perceive 2 events 3 milliseconds apart; for the eye the stimuli must be 20 to 30 milliseconds apart :-)
so 10 times more (according to my info source !!!) ....

Dawn of the morning lightly caresses
The moon touch of our hearts reveals 
In the blackest of nights..
In the breathlessness of circumstances 
The embracing hearts slowly heals..
