Shines and joys

Midweek VI

Series of thoughts on a snowy and almost desolate landscape. (From old tapes: the sound quality is very modest.)

Snowscapes: Nº1 Introduction, Solitude.

Impressions of a snowy and almost loneley landscape while falling isolates snowflakes. (From old tapes: the sound quality is modest.)

Snowscapes. Nº2 Snowflakes.

Remember her in these frozen landscapes, she lived there but left and will not return, can't. (From old tapes therefore the sound quality is very modest)

Snowscapes No.3 There she lived.

Snowscapes No.4, is a remembrance of those drops that foreshadow the spring, I saw during my trip. (From old magnetic tapes: the sound quality is modest)

Snowscapes Nº4: The dripping thaw

I saw a reflection in the the wood grain of an old cabinet which from my location seamed the face of a bearded character and immediately I knew that the character´s name was Xaripapoulo. He was accompanied with a stubborn and persistent east Mediterranean music. I did a quick sketch of his face, which is the one in the photo and video. This work honors Xaripapoulo that perhaps existed in some other dimension. The track on Youtube is a little longer than the upload to Soundcloud. Hope you like it.

IT´S  ONLY A PAPER MOON -Harold Arlen

About the shines and joys of the soul we only notice them for their contrast with the darkness, we just have to appreciate and live them on the surface because if we go deeper we could see something very different. This small work has two parts 1) Prelude, 2) Variations.

Gemini - Piano Scherzo written, recorded and published by Tom Nied (Tomasz Niedzialkowski) on Saturday, 24th November 2018

Photo captures Beachy Head cliffs near Eastbourne.
Place of immense beauty where nature exercises its might.
Beachy Head also has its dark side.

''Estimates vary of the number of annual deaths at Beachy Head, from 20 per year to many more. In 2010, it was the third most common suicide spot in the world, after the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and the Aokigahara Woods in Japan, according to The Wall Street Journal''

Unto All

Pacific Day

Caravan trail to smoky water  ;-)

When the moon rises - especially if it is full - the landscape fills with silvery reflections that are like mirrors in the water, in the windows and in the glass even if they are small. This is what this piece is about

Greetings ! I'm back after two month away !

Here is the eponymous track for the three EP's I'm still working on !
This one summaries the three styles : Ambient, Clean / Acoustic, piano / Metal, Epic. I thought it was nice to use different styles in only one piece and I hope you'll like it !

Don't forget to like if you do, comment if you want and share if you can !

Cheers,

Variations on sadness

Petite Élégie

I walk through Iberia and I feel melodies and breezes, I don't know where they come from and I don't know where I'm going. I just feel the moment.

On The Roads Of Iberia Melody And Andante

I've launched this account (and my YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/edwardcortesmusic ) to spread some of the music I've composed, so all the music that I upload to this page is original and I am the "guilty" of it. 
I've composed in different genres, starting with classical music and also pop, rock, jazz, electronic, electro-acoustic, etc. Sorry if some of my tracks are long for these days ears, I begg you to try to be patient.

I hope you can enjoy my music and your comments will be more than welcome,  and I hope to interact with your opinions. 

It's easy to like a track but it's much more valuable to me if you comment or share my music.

To all those who follow me, comment, share or like my works, know that I am very grateful.
