I like the cymbols but want to hear them more...

There are times in our lives when we yearn for simplicity; when things seem to overwhelm. After [and continuing] ill-health and hospitals, I have felt this need for simplicity, especially after not being able to play the piano for some time, my love and therapy.

I missed it so much; being here; listening to you all, and creating. ……and once again, some dear friends, Milco (The Flute Whisperer) https://soundcloud.com/milco-huisman…. Erik (Melotone) https://soundcloud.com/kiresivat ..  and The Subwave Network, UK https://soundcloud.com/the-subwave-network….. gave me so much, with encouragement and motivation. 

Thus, I woke in the middle of the night, with no ideas, just a need to get to my piano and try to get my feelings out 

It is a simple piece to reflect that need and yearning for simplicity, and which is reflected in the title. I felt sorrow, yet soothed.

I needed to do this, not only for myself, but also for some close friends undergoing some difficulties, and others too, who desire a moment of simplicity in their lives; to forget for awhile the burdens we all experience from time to time.

Please excuse any errors, being an improvisation, and I am hoping to get strong enough to be back online more often than I have recently.

I have missed so many of you and your music so much xx

PS If you are interested, and given that this is a simple piece, let me know if you would like to receive the midi files and we can perhaps commence a new 'Imaginations & Collaborations SoundCloud Challenge [Part 2] - If so, I will try to organise coordination of such. If you are not aware of the prior challenge, please look at the playlist on my page, with several great contributing artists :-)

Here is a piano solo called "Reflections" that I recorded recently. This continues the "taped" series of recordings on my Yamaha U1 upright using a pair of mics and a Revox B77.  I hope you like this piece :)

Reflections (taped version)

Every year in early January I get that deep, strange feeling of melancholy... I don't know the reasons, but the best thing then is to take a warm bath and waiting better days to come ...
