Sleep Will Come

Peace For You

For those days that seem absolutely mental - here's a song to help slow things down.

Piano only.

Here's a montage of grasses in the wind to go with this music - https://youtu.be/u7QnT6785Ao

Enjoy!

Slow Down

Leap into the unknown!

This cello (and a soft horn to follow the melody) composition is a manifestation of the emotions that come with change. 

Having just recently gone through the process of changing jobs, this song is a release from the old and an embrace of the new.

What better way to show change visually than by sharing beautiful images of waterfalls - https://youtu.be/rO4Ux3jl0_8!!

Change

Nod off to sleep with this new composition.

Sleep Time

You're sitting at your desk waiting for inspiration and then suddenly the words flow. This is 'Letters'. A song depicting all the letters and words tumbling onto a page.

Letters - Piano Only

Break Of Day

Drift away to sleep and to peace. https://youtu.be/lagPM4WoAFk

Many years ago, I composed a song called Drift Away - which I have now re-imagined in this improvisation.

Drift Away - Reimprovised

The night has come, sleep will follow.

https://youtu.be/uQAjfG0MnOU

Quotes I've chosen to go with this composition are to do with the moon and the stars.

"It seemed to be a necessary ritual that he should prepare himself for sleep by meditating under the solemnity of the night sky... a mysterious transaction between the infinity of the soul and the infinity of the universe."
— Victor Hugo

"The day, water, sun, moon, night - I do not have to purchase these things with money." 
— Plautus

"Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being."
— Rumi

Night Has Come

"Cadley kiune" is #manx for Gentle Sleep.

Cadley Kiune (Gentle Sleep)

Time to slumber. https://youtu.be/53KqrbUuIG4

Rest here for your slumber,
This moment is yours.
Deep breaths in, 
Deep breaths out.
Sleep is yours.

Your eyelids drop,
Your mind is still.
The world fades away,
Welcome sleep in.

Float away on mountaintop clouds.

When the day has been long, and you are tired...

This is, 'The day's end'.



The day's end

This is is purely fan art. I love Valheim!

Although, it would be an honour to contribute to the game OST so if you know someone in the team please refer me!

Music for venturing out into the dark, moody and desolate Ashlands!

I've also made a little video to go with this song which you can watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5vzr3GsTwo

The Ashlands

Gentle and nostalgic - soft piano and cello. Inspiration from improvisation.


Using #verticalpiano from The Crow Hill Company.
https://thecrowhillcompany.com/the-vertical-piano/

Gentle music to help you feel as free as a bird for a moment of calm. 

My newest composition was an inspired piano improvisation using a beautiful instrument from the crow hill company called Vertical Piano which has such a lovely backstory for the instrument origins and how they made it possible for composers to be able to create with it. 

I then developed my improvisation with additional instruments, cello and ethereal swell sounds.

And then I made this video: https://youtu.be/b_YRMmjUj7g

I searched for lovely soothing calming scenes of sunny mountains and then ordered them according to the way the song evolved.

I hope you enjoy!

Free As A Bird

Composer Challenge from The Crow Hill Company - 
Make a track that uses the Vaults Celestatone as the main featured instrument and write in a particular musical 'mood.' 

Mine was 'Joyous'.

I've used several tracks of celestatone, R&D strings, string murmurations and a triangle to make this short but joyous composition!

Eleri - Joyous Celestatone

More inspiration from improvisation with the Vertical Piano from the Crow Hill Company. 

Using an everlasting room effect to create a really dreamy listening experience.

With just the right amount of dreaminess in these soothing visuals, this video of yachts out at sea - with this song - will help you find a moment of stillness - https://youtu.be/gH85aNCmu5c

Drift away. I hope you enjoy!

Remember When

Inspired by nature. 

I was sitting in our garden early in the morning, listening to the birds and nearby river, filled with gratitude for it all, and this melody welled up in me.

First Light

Piano and Cello

My own composition.

Piano recorded with mobile phone on acoustic baby grand. Cello from Spitfire Audio BBCSO Core added in Cubase.
