I like the combination of voices and gentle accompaniment

Delicate and childlike, quietly enveloping sweet surrender. Durge

Beautiful song Emma….still six years later

so much anxiety in life from indecision/doubt..wondering instead of acting. this is a beautiful song and lyric

I'm taken immediately with the sound of your acoustic piano.  Love!

As the pandemic continues to take its toll, so many have died without being able to say goodbye to their loved ones in person, or at all. This track tries to capture the sadness of these lost moment. 

The album art is by Juan Lucena and pictures the barrier that the COVID virus created as it separates grandchildren from their grandparents as they give in to this fatal disease.

Lost Goodbyes #PianoDay 2021

در برنامه پیشین شیرازه شنیدیم که چطور یاس از مشروطه باعث شده بود که گروهی به دنبال ایده‌ی انقلاب مداوم باشند. اما گروه دیگری هم بودند که می‌گفتند برای اینکه اوضاع مملکت درست شود، باید به ناچار ایران اروپایی شود. 
در مقابل هم کسانی بودند که به دنبال حفظ سنت‌ها بودند. 
در این برنامه شیرازه سام فرزانه با محمد توکلی درباره این دو گروه مصاحبه کرده است. 
بخش چهارم از مجموعه برنامه نوروزی شیرازه در چشم انداز بامدادی چهار‌شنبه ۴ فروردین ١٣٩٩ (۲۴ مارس ٢٠٢١) پخش شد.
چشم‌انداز بامدادی رادیو بی‌بی‌سی از ساعت ۷ تا ۹ بامداد هر روز بر روی این امواج و فرکانس‌های رادیویی و ماهواره‌ای پخش می‌شود.

شیرازه (۴): اروپایی شدن و بازگشت به کنج سنت‌ها

Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Daniel Barenboim, conductor

Weber/Berlioz: Invitation to the Dance, Op. 65 (March 1979)

Compostion in G

Were I to open my eyes…

When as a child, I gazed far through the night
and dreamed in the clouds, clinging hard, small and bright,
never could I have seen,
never ever foreseen

Were I to open my eyes, let my love flow freely
as a silent tide swiftly falling
Were I to open my heart, let my love flow freely
would you stay with me laughing and hold me,
would the waves gently float you away?

Years fell tired in my head, wilting frightened,
yet I searched for you time and again,
Reaching out for some leaf I could cling to,
having touched you, I laugh with the pain…

Were I to open my eyes, let my love flow freely
as a silent tide swiftly falling
Were I to open my heart, let my love flow freely
would you stay with me laughing and hold me,
would the waves gently drift you away?

Were I to Open my eyes....

We recently had to put down our dog, Lambeau, a most loved member of our family for these past 12 years. This melody came to me during his last night with us, as he and I slept together on the basement floor, sharing our few last hours of time in this world....

I like to see every musical project of ours as a journey - a journey from the idea to the final result, where the result itself is not that important. What is important is the journey itself. This piece is one of my favorite on this album, and to name it "Journey" was quite natural as it sounded like a caravan walking across a vast desert. The inspiration for this piece came from Cirque du Soleil - we attended their show a year ago, it was the third time seeing them and that time it was "Alegria". To say that we were impressed is to say nothing. It was an absolutely overwhelming mystical experience. I must say it influenced the entire album. But "Journey" is special in a way as I subconsciously quoted a short motif from "Alegria's" music. A very short motif, just couple notes in the vocal line and I realized that only later.

I hope you will enjoy the music along with this timelapse of the artwork being drawn by the talented Anastasia Frenkel. She drew artworks for every single track of the album - they all are quite amazing! Vibrant, mystical, haunting, surreal - just like we envisioned this album to be. We included all of them in a booklet that goes with the CD. We have a limited lot of CDs and I will happily sign one for you (https://milana.bandcamp.com/album/abracadabra-2).

I must also thank all the participating musicians: 
- Phil DiMercurio (aka PdubJamz) for his drums and percussion truly transformed the album.
- Yamaha Artist Yoed Nir for the wondrous cello.
- Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Alexa Ray for the amazing vocals.
- Producer of several Grammy-nominated artists, Matthew Shell, who supervised mixing & mastering of "Abracadabra!", Erik Fredriksen for mixing and Steven Vagovics for mastering.

And, of course, I'd like to thank my husband who was behind the whole production of the album and the upcoming music video.

The album will be released on October 30th along with the music video.

Hi there,

I'm Emma... :-)
I write songs, then I play, sing and record them in my small home studio.  

Thanks for checking out my cloud!  :-)
