Thanks for pre-saving (coming 11 Feb with Collaborative Records): https://linkto.collaborativerecords.com/sc-menuetnocturne

Menuet Nocturne’s nostalgic melody in waltz-like rhythm evolves and expands throughout the song. I wrote this original work inspired by Chopin and his Nocturnes.. The first motif transforms throughout the piece and the melody keeps a dance-like lilt. Solo piano release 11 Feb '22.

Long in the making, my YouTube piano performance A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes (long version)  is done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmbkk-j-RV8

 
The theme of the original work was from Franz Liszt's Etude No. 9 Ricordanza of the Transcendental Etudes. I have used the Zoom l-12 mixer to record with stereo mics and also some EQ..in this video. 

Thanks to Kerry Barnes, presenter at One World Music Radio, for writing a review on ‘A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes (Long Version)’.  https://www.sharonelainechen.com/reviews

Menuet Nocturne (Piano Solo)

This is one of my all time favourite songs.
Summertime was an "Aria" composed by George Gershwin for the 1935 Opera Porgy and Bess. They lyrics were written by Du Bose Heyward. The song is also co- credited to Ira Gershwin
I added some strings but thatks to jazzbacks for the wonderful backing.

SWAN DIVE

A swan dive a swimmer undertakes is like a leap of faith. Similar, in music playing a solo on any instrument, improvised, is like that leap of faith. One tries to jump in with a solid start, a beautiful dive and a clean landing. William Paasche  https://soundcloud.com/snuppeluppen here joining me on synthesizer did just that. We exchange solos on this Jazz Rock original I made, great fun! And hope you’ll jump in with us!

As always I really appreciate all your likes, comments and shares. 
All the best,
-Dan

-Odyssey -
-Towards the Return -

Visitor
He has come, he was expected for a long time and he is here, alone. 
He has a human appearance and yet he comes from a world so far away!
Is he coming to free us from chaos, from our murderous wars, from our incurable diseases... no!
He has come to explain to us that in the whole cosmos, all is chaos and destruction, only to begin again. 
For our salvation, there is only one solution, to preserve our diversity, our life and that of all other life on our planet.
To ignore it would only lead us to complete extinction.
He will go back even further, to another planet, for he is the visitor.
❤️Love, 🕊️Peace, 🙏Respect


Visiteur
Il est venu, il était attendu depuis longtemps et il est là, seul. 
Il a une apparence humaine et pourtant il vient d'un monde si lointain !
Vient-il nous libérer du chaos, de nos guerres meurtrières, de nos maladies incurables... non !
Il est venu nous expliquer que dans tout le cosmos, tout n'est que chaos et destruction, pour mieux recommencer. 
Pour notre salut, il n'y a qu'une seule solution, préserver notre diversité, notre vie et celle de toutes les autres vies sur notre planète.
L'ignorer ne ferait que nous conduire à l'extinction complète.
Il repartira encore plus loin, sur une autre planète, car il est le visiteur.
❤️Love, 🕊️Peace, 🙏Respect
