Nicely done. The piano playing feels controlled and expressive without being overdone. There’s a quiet depth to it. Well done my dear friend, nice to meet you and follow you now 👍

You are in tune with your piano can be felt in the first note, the piano is a wonderful change..great mood changer!   fantastic ambience & masterful piece!

After having first listened to the version with voice, this version with only the piano is also magnificent and the depth of that pain that it wants to accompany is more appreciated.

How gentle, soothing sounds and melody! Very beautiful!

I can feel that a lot of thought went into the writing of this track.  Nice track!

SNR selection 13-Jun-2025

Up-tempo, arpeggiating solo piano, with a strong feel of anticipation. Moody and stunning.

This project came out of a creative communication assignment for my current MSc in climate science. It was inspired by "Unci Maka", which is a Lakota word meaning Grandmother Earth, the literal translation is "very ancient me". Many indigenous languages don't recognise a separation between us and nature as the English language does. Maybe this can point us to our role as nature, and deepen our connection, using our hands and hearts to heal together.

Bouncing like a fluffy monster of another sound dimension.
Bouncing like an electron in the magnetic cage of your lust."

This song began with Steve, who wrote it on his guitar and sang it, before sharing it with Eclectic Collective about half a year ago, back in the fall. Always grateful to Steve for sharing his amazing music with us, we kept it alive even though it had stalled out on us for whatever reason. 
  We had a decent skeleton from our original go at it, but decided to scrap it, and start fresh. Ken, being the one who actually revived it, added his solid drums first, providing for a groovy foundation. Tez came next, surprisingly, adding his hooky guitar fills throughout. Mark hopped on shortly after, adding the organ you hear coming in around the 2:00 mark. Josh took his turn after that, even though it was only a couple of days between, by adding his fretless bass to complete the rhythm section. He also, in the same recording session, added the electric piano you hear throughout, as well as the organ in the first half. 
  Once it was in the can, we asked Stephen to mix it for us, in his always professional manner. 
  We all love working on Steve's songs, and admire him as a musician, singer, and songwriter. This makes almost a half dozen songs on which the EC has collaborated with Steve, and we're sure to add many more. We hope you enjoy listening to this song as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Original lyrics by Steve's Planet

Please Come Home (Eclectic Collective with Steve's Planet)

i’m already 
goin’ down
to the end of the story now
wind is blowing
to the end of the story now

come away   come away

time is bending 
drifting down
spin the hourglass all around
pulverize it
spin the hourglass all around

i’m comin’ after 
i’m comin’
i’m unembodied
i’m free

i’m already 
leaving town
train is rounding the mountain now
got my ticket
train is rounding the mountain now

come away   come away

Pee Gee           :    Lyrics

Yesterday Is Long Ago

Now the night is fading
The dawn is yet to come
A new day is waiting
All bad dreams are gone

Time to leave..you told me
In your own personal way
You made your point clear
Come back and make my day

There is a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long Ago
Today is now ..today is real
Yesterday Is Long Ago

They say that time will heal
The wounds if you can wait
Today is now.. today is real
Never ask ..is it too late?

Let us begin the dance
Whirling into the future
Taking another chance
Holding you tight forever

There´s a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long  Ago
Today is now..today is real
Yesterday Is Long Ago

There´s a way of turning the wheel
Yesterday Is Long Ago....................

Yesterday Is Long Ago ....

Yesterday Is Long Ago

Reminiscence – The Gentle Return
Sometimes the heaviest moments are the quiet ones.
When a single piano speaks louder than any voice,
not with words, but with the aching stillness left behind.

Reminiscence is the sound of looking back,
of revisiting the empty chair, the quiet room,
the laughter that once filled it – now just an echo.
It’s not a cry for comfort, but a slow exhale of memory.

This piece doesn’t try to escape the sorrow.
It walks beside it – unafraid, tender, honest.
Because some things cannot be forgotten.
They live on in sound, in silence, in the spaces between the notes.

Performed entirely on the Bechstein  –
a grand piano from EastWest, known for its haunting intimacy.
Its velvety resonance and delicate detail bring life to the sadness,
like a whispered goodbye that lingers in the air.
Every nuance was shaped by human hands – with reverence, with grief.

Part of the album Tides of Melancholy.
No AI. No shortcuts. Just soul, sorrow, and sincerity.

Composed, played, and felt by myself –
for all those who carry someone in their heart but can no longer hold them.
Thank you for listening – and for making space for this gentle return.


Reminiscence – Die leise Rückkehr
Manchmal sind es die stillsten Augenblicke, die am schwersten wiegen.
Wenn ein einziges Piano lauter spricht als jede Stimme –
nicht mit Worten, sondern mit dem Schmerz,
den nur die Abwesenheit kennt.

Reminiscence ist ein Blick zurück.
Zu dem leeren Stuhl. Dem stillen Raum.
Dem Lachen, das einmal darin lebte –
nun nur noch Erinnerung, verhallt im Nichts.
Dieses Stück sucht keinen Trost.
Es atmet die Trauer – langsam, behutsam, aufrichtig.

Denn manche Verluste verblassen nicht.
Sie bleiben – in einem Klang, in der Stille,
in dem, was zwischen den Tönen unausgesprochen bleibt.

Eingespielt auf dem Bechstein Sus Rep Lite DYN –
ein Konzertflügel aus der EastWest-Piano-Serie,
geschätzt für seine emotionale Tiefe und intime Klangcharakteristik.
Sein samtiger Ton und seine fragile Präsenz
verleihen dem Schmerz eine Stimme,
wie ein leiser Abschied, der in der Luft stehen bleibt.
Jede Note wurde mit Sorgfalt und Gefühl geformt – von echten Händen.

Teil des Albums Tides of Melancholy.
Keine KI. Kein Trick. Nur Seele. Nur Trauer. Nur Wahrheit.

Komponiert, gespielt und empfunden von mir –
für all jene, die jemanden im Herzen tragen, den sie nicht mehr in den Armen halten können.
Danke fürs Zuhören – und dafür, dieser leisen Rückkehr einen Platz zu geben.

Reminiscence

“Never underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction.” ― Germany Kent

A little piano improvisation dedicated to family, friends, and others who have had to start again and have shown great faith, courage and resolve in doing   so. A companion piece to "Crossroads."

Starting Again

Like the hush before morning, or the weight of a dream you can’t quite hold.
“Barely Awake” drifts slowly through stillness — a soft breath of memory, wrapped in quiet light.
Let it carry you where words no longer reach.

Barely Awake

Ray and I made another song together. Well, maybe it's not exactly a song. But it's something!

Please visit Ray here if you haven't already https://soundcloud.com/user-364196783-552705040 You'll be in for a treat.

After completing the song, I found a noticeable spread between the highest & lowest notes.  So I had a hard time with the vocals.  I could have altered the notes to fit the voice but in the end I decided to go with the original.  Please bear with my singing.

The lyrics is extracted from a lengthy poem I came across on the web.
In the end, perhaps the plot doesn't make much sense anyway.  So let's assume it's just for the sake of making a song.   See what you think.

Thanks much for stopping by.

[LYRICS]
The memory of you emerges from the night around me
The river mingles its stubborn lament with the sea

In you the wars and the flights accumulated
From you the wings of the song birds rose

Cold flower heads are raining over my heart
I made the wall of shadow draw back,
Beyond desire I walked on

You swallowed everything, like distance
Like the sea, like time,  in you everything sank
In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded,
In you everything sank

The happy hour of assault and the kiss
and spell that blazed like a lighthouse
I raise my song to you

I don't know how you could contain me
in the earth of your soul, in the cross of your arms

You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire,
sadness stunned you, in you everything sank
This was my destiny and in it was the voyage of my longing,
In you everything sank

.... Solo break....

You swallowed everything, like distance
Like the sea, like time,  in you everything sank
In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded,
In you everything sank

You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire,
sadness stunned you, in you everything sank
This was my destiny and in it was the voyage of my longing,
In you everything sank
Ah haaaa

In You (Everything Sank)

15 - Throne of Grace

Life is so beautiful. Live it with the knowledge of its end and it will flow as never before. Look better when its boring...it really isn't...like a baby lying between ruins in a warzone...like hope in a warzone...please
In Dutch: Mijn inspiratie is een eerder uitgebracht nummer over Israël's oorlog tegen Hamas. Ik ben niet voor Hezbollah, maar wel tegen de voortdurende oorlog in Israël, die inmiddels compleet onzin is: het gevecht tegen Hamas wordt nu gevoerd ÓVER DE RUGGEN VAN de bevolking van Gaza als "collateral damage"; ondanks mijn studie als theoloog van het christendom kan ik er niet meer tegen dat de regering Netanyahu zoveel slachtoffers moet maken onder de Gazaanse bevolking; en nu helemaal met de behoefte om de complete Gazastrook onder Israëls bewind te brengen....in deze oorlog brengen wapens geen vrijheid, mijnheer Netanyahu, géén vrijheid voor de Gazanen!!
Bijgaande melodie bestaat uit drie delen: deel 1 de oorlog waarin het leed van de mensen wordt verbeeld (voor zover dat kan alleen met klanken) deel 2 de baby/leven in Gaza nog elke dag deel 3 de afronding naar een klassiek gespeeld einde eindigend met "de hoop dat het altijd nog goed zal eindigen" een majeur akkoord.

🎶 About My Music – DestKorn

My music tells stories – without words, but full of emotion.
It’s shaped by melancholy, quiet strength, and cinematic depth.
With a blend of piano, strings, subtle electronics, and expressive vocals, I create soundscapes that move, reflect, and offer space for personal thought.

Every composition is a personal expression, crafted by hand using professional virtual instruments (VSTs), real elements, and a strong sense of intuition. I compose with care and intention – every note is placed with purpose. For certain textures, I occasionally use modern tools like ACE Studio, but always as a subtle enhancement within a framework I’ve entirely composed myself.

The creative vision, the musical structure, and the emotion – they are 100% mine.
I believe in music that sounds real because it is real.

Thank you for listening – and for feeling.

– DestKorn 🎶❤️🎶
