It was seemingly a late Autumn season this year and the leaves held on to their branches a little longer than average this turn of the wheel. I watched as the final remaining members of the deciduous resistance proudly held their ground and clung to their branches, while the wind tried to seduce them to give up their futile attempt at immortality and surrender to the inevitable.  In bold defiance they refused and proudly flew their colorful flags of deep crimson, rust orange, and a shade of yellow so ineffably deep it does not even bare a name. They danced gallantly and gracefully with the wind as they moved in asymmetrical rhythms and flowing tempos - the mathematics of which seemingly beyond human intelligence, boarding on the divine. The eb and flow of the motion together with the beams of sunlight that would burst through the branches and cast a glimmering shimmer onto everything was truly an epically cinematic sight to behold! If I were a cinematographer this is what I would film.  As I am only a composer, I did the best I could with the tools available to my disposal...  I hope you may enjoy it...

"Autumn Rains" is the second installment in a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This trio represents Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may help you on your journey, as it has us...

"Autumn Rains" is music inspired by the spirit of Agape. It is an album dedicated to the concept of spiritual love and universal compassion clothed in the metaphor of transcendental natural beauty. It is an album that simultaneously expresses deep love for both the creator as well as the creation. It is said God gave us music so that we could pray without words. It could be added that nature was provided as an example of exactly how to do this effectively. In this spirit, Autumn Rains is a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to learn from the natural beauty of this world, and an expression of a sense of respect for the inescapable universal equality that nature imposes. It humbly attempts to capture deep feelings of awe, granduer, idealism, and a belief in the innate goodness of the world even when we all face exceptionally hard lessons.

Dirk Maassen - Up! [Final Master] - (Project Ascolta !)

I don't know you personally. But I thank you truly...Thank you for giving me such an inspiration to continue to write music to share again: I had never expected so many plays on something so personal, which is indeed what the track Survivor was. I mean 13 thousand plays in less than 2 weeks was just mind-blowing. I like keeping to myself, but I will always use this soundcloud page to upload any new personal works. Thank you for taking the time to listen. 

This song came to me after a very long drive (thinking about how we pass each other by...there are beautiful people out there) a few nights ago, I had to write it down, and compose it asap, because sometimes, those dreams will fade, and I will never know the melody or style I wanted to write. 



Eius fini Natura *Complete*

Just a person that didn't have much money growing up, but composed on the piano since 6 years old, and decided to make my own music CDs, since I never could afford what was in the music shop.

I mainly do Liquid Drum & Bass, Chillout and Orchestral compositions, but I love doing Hip Hop and pretty much dabbling in anything Electronic.
