Time to rest

When the warmth of summer holds you
Its gentle embrace somehow soothes you
Finding that time for some days unwinds
Lets you slumber and gives rest to your mind

Closer

Across The Water

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

A quiet road can sometimes help dampen a noisy mind - Eleri.

Enjoy this new piano composition.

A Quiet Road

Gallop - Improv piano. 

I hope you enjoy.

Gallop

The Harvest Moon reminds me that Winter is not too far away. Time to bring in the apples and make ready for the cooler weather and to slow down a bit!

Harvest Moon

A calming moment to help send you off to sleep. 

Piano only.


A place to rest

Piano, only.

I thought that a little lullaby verse/ something poetic - would be appropriate this time round - So I have written this to go with my track. I hope this helps you drift off!

         As the night draws in,
         Let your breathing stretch, slower still.
         The stars are out - put the day's worries aside.
         Rest now. Tomorrow, we begin again.

Good night!

Thank you for listening to my music!!!  My name is Eleri and I'm a composer, originally from South Africa, living on the Isle of Man, a small island in the Irish Sea.

I love to make music that creates moments of calm and also to help unwind ahead of sleep! The piano is my go to instrument for this.

My compositions are neo-classical, and a fusion of electronic and orchestral. Conveying vast soundscapes, compositions are multi-textured and layered to create ambience and timelessness.

Music is a joy to make, and I hope you will enjoy my creations!
