SOMEWHERE IN TIME

Variation 18 of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini composed in 1934. Rachmaninoff said of this piece: "This one, is for my agent." as he sensed it would become a commercial hit. It's composed by playing upside down the original melody from Paganini. The original is like a piano concerto (solo piano vs orchestra) and I'm trying to do it on a single keyboard with sampled sounds.

The theme was used in the movie Somewhere in Time in 1980 starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Bösendorfer grand piano and sampled orchestra strings.

Transcription for solo piano by Hermene W. Eichhorn. Re-uploaded with new take on Jan 26, 2014.

This theme is reprised several times, called The Heart Asks Pleasure First/The Promise/The Sacrifice. It is based on a traditional Scottish tune titled "Gloomy Winter's Noo Awa".

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Yamaha C7 grand piano, and one single note of sampled strings.

Note: replaced with a better take on June 3, 2014

Michael Nyman - Theme from The Piano

I love this song but haven't really played it in about 10 years. 

Theme from Somewhere In Time (Cover)

This set list was created by me to show some tracks that I've maked... Enjoy!

Four Seasons Of Loneliness (Acoustic)

On Bended Knee (Acoustic)

Please Don't Go (Acoustic By Gabriel Pascoal)

Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings. This is from 1936, earlier than the 60's but so much more modern, isn't it? The ultimate ambient trance-ish piece... Tried to make it sound like metallic yet organic strings, mixing Clavia's string orchestra samples with synthesizers.

If this is too ambient for you (sometimes it is for me), Tiësto used the first notes ad nauseam in an upbeat trance track.

1ère Gymnopédie.

Lent et douloureux.
Slow and sorrowful.

"Oblique et coupant l'ombre un torrent éclatant; Ruisselait en flots d'or sur la dalle polie; Où les atomes d'ambre au feu se miroitant; Mêlaient leur sarabande à la gymnopédie."

"Slanting and shadow-cutting a flickering eddy
Trickled in gusts of gold to the shiny flagstone
Where the atoms of amber in the fire mirroring themselves
Mingled their sarabande to the gymnopaedia"

- Contamine de Latour

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha C7 with a generous amount of reverb and phaser, and a thin layer of strings.

Trying to replicate Vangelis' Memories Of Green from the Blade Runner soundtrack.

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqn6AuCiA_s

Vangelis composed (improvised?) Memories Of Green in 1980 for his album See You Later, but it's not as famous as the Blade Runner soundtrack in which the track was included too.

The instrument is a Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Bösendorfer piano with a flanger effect, some synthesizers controlled with an expression pedal, and a generous amount of reverb.

Vangelis plays it on an acoustic piano with beautiful ambient room noise. I tried to replicate the feeling by boosting the pedal noise on my synth, and I added some pads that get pretty dark and intense towards the end.

The instrument is a Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Steinway grand piano and virtual analog synthesizers controlled with an expression pedal, and a generous amount of reverb.

The Woman theme, aka Sherlocked, from the BBC Sherlock TV series, composed by David Arnold and Michael Price in 2012.

The original features a lot of violin and beautiful sounds, I'm trying to do a rawer keyboard version of it.

The instrument is a Nord Stage 2 using a sampled intimidating Yamaha S4 grand piano, some virtual analog synthesizer, echo and a very generous amount of reverb.

“The crowd intimidates me, its breath suffocates me. I feel paralyzed by its curious look, and the unknown faces make me dumb.” – Chopin

*****************************
So this is the end of the story
Everything we had, everything we did
Is buried in dust
And this dust is all that’s left of us

But only a few ever worried
Though the signs were clear, they had no idea
You just get used to living in fear
Or give up
When you can’t even picture your future

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open…

Some people offered up answers
We made out like we heard, but they were only words
They didn’t add up
To a change in the way we were living

And the saddest thing-
Is all of it could have been avoided
But it was like to stop consuming is to stop being human
And why would I make a change if you won’t
We’re all in the same boat, staying afloat
For the moment

And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we..
Walk the plank with our eyes wide open

With our eyes wide open we...
Walk the plank, we walk the plank

And that was the end of the story

I Wont Give Up - Madilyn Bailey ( Jason Mraz )



كلمات : ميدو زهير
لحن : دينا الوديدي

تدوّر وترجع وجع واعتكاف
وتطبع عليك السنين العجاف
وأول ما حُبك يقابلك يسيبك !
وأول ما حُبك يسيبك تخاف

صنعت سجنك م الهوا ودخلته بإرادتك
وإديت حبيبك نفسك، ما سألت فين حطك
وإكمن كله أذاك قررت تعشق ملاك !
يا اللي عشقت الملاك حتى الملاك صدّك
