progettosonoro - Acqua di Marzo [Marco Lucchi]

Scores to this track can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNskWHKp_kE.

This piano piece is dedicated to all people that need to leave. Their homes, their loved ones, their lifes that they had so far. Because they see no future, because some regime presses them to go to war, because they have broken with their loved ones. All the best to you and may you find a new home!

Compositionwise: The piece is structured into 4 parts (starting @0:02, @0:45, @1:38 and @2:44). Each of the parts starts with a question-like motive built around Ninths. As with most of my pieces, I investigate applied perturbation theory also in this track by starting these 4 parts almost – but only almost – with the same notes and exploring, how initially tiny tweaks in the beginning of the parts evolve over time into distinctly different melodies, harmonics and moods.
Overall, the piece constantly oscillates between melancholic minor and consoling major harmonies and periods of relative calm interrupted by more restless forward driving parts. The transitions between the parts are made more seamless by ritardandos and by question-answer pairs such as e.g, @ 1:28 or @ 2:33. Most of the accompaignment in the left hand is in Vienna classic-like triad decompositions but for the climax of the track starting @ 2:02, the left hand switches to rock-piano-like octave jumps to increase the sense of emotional agitation. The track starts in A major and ends in Eb major which is said to be a warm and melancholic tonality. Tthe two keys are opposite each other (6 jumps away), so I guess, this is the maximum range of modulation possible to emphasize the sense of distance and leaving. 
The track can also be found on Spotify and on Youtube. Enjoy!

This is a follow-up posting of a wonderful collaboration Dan-T had invited Debra and I to contribute to.  Dan had posted it well over a year ago as a backing track to a dramatic French Fantasy production.  With his kind permission after the delay of a year, I wanted to post this as a celebration of a different kind of drama--life awakening from a long winter sleep. Dan's synths are sweeping and epic, Debbie's playing is measured and elegant like the words in a fine poem.  The Requinto guitar has a sweet voice sounding a bit like a Celtic harp to round out the production.  Hear more of Dan's French Fantasy (French Fantastic:) @dan-t-3, and Debbie's superb and poetic playing @debra_buesking.

Electronique IV (2022) Anthology CD3 Track 08

Circle and the Line

An intimate piano solo with stunning dynamics gradually welcomes strings and light orchestration before dropping into a rhythmic pulse. The composition expands and contracts, building to ethereal heights before returning to its haunting piano foundation.

Expansion

A tranquil piece with atmospheric strings reflecting some of earth's glorius landmarks.

OVER YOU Tim Pierce MIXX 031615 - M3NT 02 - 01

I am a finger-style guitarist living on the Texas high plains.  At the core of my music is melody that is inspired and informed by my Christian faith, family, friends, and countless influences through the years from the great composers, to jazz, folk, rock, Latin, Celtic, and the many fine musicians I have come to love on the Cloud, some I have been privileged to collaborate with.  Thanks for stopping by to have a listen. Comments are always welcome. Feel free to click on the picture of any track to learn more about it.
