Edward! :-) Lovely job! I can see the keys depicting the birds dancing in flight whilst the sun is setting...There is much joy in the movement, & a delicate love that is ending the evening in tenderness. A truly beautiful portrait painted by precise keys! <3 <3

He Said

He said my magic was brown
It was the bed of the earth

I filled him with mirrors
Better to see him

I tasted him pliant on my tongue
Better to eat him
He became my sacrament

He said I moved
slow like lava

I bled into his steps
He heard his carrion
Rising out of another dream


peace alms

He Said

Labrinth with Emeli Sande - Beneath Your Beautiful Piano cover

“El viaje al paraíso que he soñado,
es un sendero de rosas y de espinas,
un paseo fugaz algo agrietado,
una simple aventura con rutinas.
 
Persuadido de encontrar ese destino,
afronto dignamente los problemas,
perseguir al final ese camino,
puede ser para mí un gran dilema.
 
Acosado por la inmediatez del tiempo,
decidido a resolver la disyuntiva,
seguiré el camino de las rosas,
evitando los senderos con espinas.
 
Conquistar al final ese gran reto,
puede ser una ilusión infructuosa,
al final la vida en sí, es solo un sueño
y una vida sin sueños no es hermosa..“ (J. Piñeiro)
“The journey to paradise I’ve dreamed of,
is a path of roses and thorns,
a fleeting, somewhat cracked stroll,
a simple adventure with routines.

Persuaded of finding that destination,
I face the problems with dignity;
pursuing that path in the end,
may be a great dilemma for me.

Haunted by the immediacy of time,
determined to resolve the dilemma,
I will follow the path of roses,
avoiding the paths with thorns.

Conquering that great challenge in the end,
may be a fruitless illusion;
in the end, life itself, is just a dream,
and a life without dreams is not beautiful.” (J. Piñeiro)

Pieces

Nocturne in C minor for Violin and Piano

Sunset Melodies

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

Lunar Mirror

This is a musical climbing, a melodic essay (or expansion) for sythesizers and drums.

The Climbing

A little soundbite of my next song to be released on Soundcloud and as a video on YouTube. I have had excellent help with the video from a team of pros: Leena Koppe, Christin Veith, and Andi Winter.
Take a look at my YouTube channel for a preview, and later the full video, which also features the beautiful voice of Lina Louise: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6jvicZrbeYyFjS83ZPRSBw
Full song will be published here soon!

Sadness has many forms, even some that seem joyful.
La tristesse a de nombreuses formes, même certaines qui semblent joyeuses

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.

Sun Worship

Motion X - Sun Worship (Video Link)

Perplexing Patternity is the result of this stormy year. Kind of a purging or clean up. Lot's of hard and weird stuff happening. Trying to manage through it and find some kind of peace amidst all the craziness. Kind of old school electronic. Wanting to escape to childhood nostalgia, but maybe incorporate this hectic all over feeling and the simultaneous search for peace of mind in it. Hope it's something you'd enjoy to listen. For me it was kind of a struggle and the my feeling about whole project is kind of confused, but sometimes you just got to see it trough, I think.

Discovery Ease

This song is in 5/4.  Emphasis is on the 1 and 4 beats.

Grieving

Verse 1:
It seemed all so perfect
Our lives just clicked
Everywhere I went
Is what was meant (to be)

We did so much
Were so in touch
What a joy was our life
You were to be my wife

Chorus 1:
I never hurt you
I didn’t do
Anything wrong
I spent all my love on you

Verse 2:
Then one day
The skies were grey
You said you were leaving
And I started grieving

Chorus 2 & 3:
You hurt me so
I’m not your beau
It is all wrong
All my love is gone

Verse 3:
Why are you leaving me
Never to bend my knee
Why is it you don’t want me
You take off an flee

I hurt so much inside
You will never be my bride
This pain cannot be happening
It is all so baffling

Grieving

We hadn't played in 9 month's so there was a little trepidation and blunders.

The Moments /Live at Port Orange

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.
