When I gazed across the baltic sea in Sellin during my holiday I felt so many different moods from feeling calm and relaxed to sensing the rough wildness of the endless sea and I simply must have written a song to capture these.... I had a small Midi keyboard with me to catch the first ideas, btw...  :-))

Sorry for the clicks in the mix... messing around with my soundcard. I guess QL is producing too much load....

Where the Earth Softens

A Hymn for the Places We Abandon

Brian Crain - Tears In The Fountain

For many years, whenever I play the piano and compose, before even touching the keys to play, I stay still. I begin from silence. I enter into a precise, recognized state and from this silence, the sound appears. It is an essential and directed sound that surpasses obstacles and divisions. It is not a mental or intellectual process but rather it is music that flows from emotion through melody and harmony, which, throughout time, have been the primordial elements of the power of sound.

“Quarto Tempo” is the space beyond the confines of the three time periods: past, present and future where the before, the now and the then, meet and cancel each other out. This inexplorable space is the setting where I find an attitude open to listening of the music and the sentiments that spring from it. This desire to go beyond these limits is a constant that is central to my work.

The historical view that at one time placed the musical time periods distant from one another has now changed from temporal, prospective and spatial; this modifies the relationship with consequentiality. One is not influenced only from what comes immediately beforehand but rather is impacted in the same way by a sound from five hundred years ago as by a sound from five years ago. 
The running of the tape or the turning of the needle on the vinyl of the LP, symbols of the running of time, is replaced by Hard disk where memory, rather than this running, exists. Here, the spanning of time becomes space.

Personally, I am interested in Music within mythology. This very music that through the powers of sound, charmed dolphins and made trees dance in the myth of Orpheus, sound that through its objective power, made the walls of Gerico come tumbling down. 
I believe that music, the universal language, should speak to everyone and needs not extensive explanation, at least in a deeper sense, but rather should be allowed to resonate within us so that we can hear what it evokes. 
The relationship I have with music has for many years, been tightly interwoven with my own search for personal evolution. It is an education that approaches, in essence a mirror. Through music I find myself in a vast and limitless flow. I have the opportunity to transmit my aspirations, to communicate what I feel and what I believe.

Floating- Quarto tempo

Dustin O'Halloran - An Empty Space

Some of the songs are featuring Cello & Piano others just fir the new age piano category. I'll keep updating as I go along. This entire set is by Brian Crain except the last two. Those are by Phillip Wesley

Go here to listen to even more of his songs and albums and I can get the song for you. Most of them I already got though.
