Music, much like dialogue, becomes the canvas where the depths of our soul paint their silent struggles. Expressing ourselves feels like navigating a stormy sea; words falter, leaving the heart's wounds unhealed, seeking solace in melodies that resonate with our pain.

A Neighborhood At The Limit - Hope Theme (extended)

Third track of Manos Milonakis's remix release "Sólfar Reworked" by:

Luke Howard (www.lukehoward.com , @lukehoward) : 

Australian Music Prize-nominated composer Luke Howard has been described as “absolutely heavenly” (Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC Radio 6) and his music as “an ambient masterclass” (Musos’ Guide), but no words can fully capture the potency of Howard’s enthralling compositions. A pianist since childhood, Howard has scored films and performed with artists as diverse as Lior and Jeff Mills, capturing audiences with contemporary classical arrangements that curl and twist around the boundaries of a particular emotion. Though wordless, Howard’s songs perform a function unique to music as a medium – that of evoking without describing, bringing listeners to a feeling which defies articulating. 

Now signed to UK label Mercury KX (Lambert, Olafur Arnalds, Solomon Grey) and joined live by drummer and collaborator Daniel Farrugia, 2017 has Howard working across several projects: arranging the keyboard works of photographer William Eggleston, a pioneer of colour photography; a European tour beginning in the UK and ending with a performance at Germany’s legendary Elbphilharmonie; and a new record. 

Howard is one of Australia’s foremost practitioners of contemporary classical music. Having already accomplished so much and with more on the horizon, he is set to captivate audiences worldwide.

Sólfar Reworked

Ten (Luke Howard Rework)

That's a piano piece totally improvised, I just sat on the piano and play what spontaneously came out. No sheet music, preparation, or forethought. Just spontaneous composition, in one take. No edit. This is why you may hear some "mistakes" but as Thelonious Monk said: “The piano ain't got no wrong notes.” ;-)
I made it as part of the Piano Journal experimentation, a project created by Jason Dzamba: www.thepianojournal.com
