When I gazed across the baltic sea in Sellin during my holiday I felt so many different moods from feeling calm and relaxed to sensing the rough wildness of the endless sea and I simply must have written a song to capture these.... I had a small Midi keyboard with me to catch the first ideas, btw...  :-))

Sorry for the clicks in the mix... messing around with my soundcard. I guess QL is producing too much load....

La Giulia

Dirk Maassen - La Giulia (follow @dirk_maassen on Instagram)

little heart, stone cold faith
real life got in the way
trumpets sound on the wrong day - I want the fanfare
just when I'm ready

so we write out a lie and carve it into stone
a little piece of something I can call mine
now we turn off the lights to talk about it
and you leave me drowning in my own words

all I know is I'm left behind
when that call comes down the wire
I could not see what you saw
but could I seek the same God?

I'm caught behind a door with you on the other side
I couldn't make this right if I tried to
so I'll keep the page folded, hope I don't lose my place
and my feelings blow away in some cold breeze

but we didn't cut our losses
and we didn't walk away
we didn't hold our tongues and wait for things to change
in a house made out of matchsticks
who's gonna watch it fall apart?
we didn't cut our losses
and we didn't walk away
we didn't keep our promises or wait for things to change
in that house made out of matchsticks
who's gonna watch it fall down?
it's a done deal now

The Path. The Heart Decides - Nocturne, 03 Jun - Piano Solo

Written when I was feeling low due to multiple family members being seriously unwell and I was having a stressful time on a long court case for which I was serving on the Jury... I was feeling low and in need of strength to deal with the emotional onslaught.

Still... people do say there's no art without emotion so at least something positive came out of it!

Lanterns - Lyrics
Written by Birds of Tokyo

Lately I've found
When I start to think aloud
There's a longing in the sound
There is more I could be
In darkness I leave
For a place I've never seen
It's been calling out to me
That is where I should be

We never carried days on our own
But now it's up to us to know
The weight of being so much more
We will find ourselves on the road

On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on

As we walk out
Without question without doubt
In the light that we have found
It is finally clear
Our day has come
And we'll stand for who we are
We are ready we are young
We have nothing to fear

We never carried days on our own
But now it's up to us to know
The weight of being so much more
We will find ourselves on the road

On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on

We held the light
To our faces
And realised
We were chasing
Shadows behind
Not worth saving
So burn it bright
Forever illuminating

On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
In darkness I leave
For a place I've never seen
It's been calling out to me
That is where I should be

After I travelled down so many roads the last couple of years I finally met this girl. 
To me she is beauty, she is inspiration, she is hope, she is love. She calls herself butterfly and since she fell in love with that song I dedicate it to her. So, this song is for you my butterfly, may you sit on my heart for a long and never forget how to fly !

Evan Duffy - Monstercat Piano Mix (Monstercat - Best of 2012)

استاد جواد معروفی در سال هـزار و دويست و نود و يك( ۱۲۹۱ ) در تهران چشم بر جهان گشود. مادرش "عـذرا" و پدرش "موسی معـروفی" از شاگردان برگزیده درویش خان و از موسيقی دانان بزرگ دوره خود بود. پنج سال داشت که خواهـرش "نرگس" به دنیا آمد. چند سال بعـد در هـمان دوره کودکی مادرش را از دست داد و در خانواده پدری بزرگ شد. ابتدا موسيقی را از پدر می آموخت و تار می نواخت و با نواختن ويولن نيز آشنا شد .بعـد از دوره ابتدایی، در چهارده سالگی در دوره ای که وزيری مدير هـنرستان موسيقی بود، به آنجا رفـت و به تحصيل مشغول شد. به پيانو روی آورد و نزد خانم تاتیانا خاراطیان به یادگـیری تکـنیک نوازندگی پیانوی کلاسیک مشغول شد. اتودها و پرلودهای شوپن، سوناتهای موتسارت، بتهوون، شوبرت و فـوگ های باخ را با مهارت می نواخت. در کناد موسیقی کلاسیک، موسیقی ایرانی را هـم ادامه داد و تحصيلات موسيقی را نزد عـلی نقی وزيری کامل کرد.

در هجده سالگی با "شـمس زمان" ازدواج کـرد که حاصل این ازدواج چهـار فــرزند بود. "منوچهر" ،" شکوه زمان ( گـیتی )" ، "ژیلا" و "فـرهاد".

درسال هـزار و سيصد و دوازده (در بيست و يك سالگی) به دليل استعداد شگـرفـش در موسيقی به استخـدام وزارت فـرهـنگ وقـت در آمد و معـلم موسيقی مدارس تهران شد و به آموزش سلفـژ و ديکته موسيقی در هـنرستان پرداخت. او از سال هـزار و سيصد و نوزده هـم زمان با افـتتاح راديو به اين موسسه پيوست و سال ها تک نواز پيانو بود. از سال هـزار و سيصد و سی و دو به سرپرستی موسيقی راديو منصوب شد و هـمزمان با آن به عـضويت شورای عـالی موسيقی نيز در آمد. معـروفی هـمچنين رهـبر ارکستر شماره يک و رهـبر ارکستر بزرگ گـلها بود. او تنظيم آهنگ های شيدا، عارف، رکن الدين خان و درويش خان و بسياری ديگـر از آهـنگسازان معـروف ايرانی را به عـهـده داشت. خودش می گويد: 
"از بدو تاسيس راديو در سال هـزار و سیصد و نوزده در آنجا هـم مشغول شدم. در آن موقع سنی نداشتم ولی هـم نوازنده پيانو بودم و هـم رهـبر ارکستر شماره يک. سال اولی که راديو تاسيس شد، در اولين ارکستر راديو اين نوازنده ها بودند: صبا، حبيب سماعی، حسين تهرانی، مرتضی نی داوود و خود من. بعدها که برنامه گلها تاسيس شد من رهـبر ارکستر آن شدم و نوازنده پيانو و سوليست هـم بودم. برای ارکستر گـلها هـم قطعاتی تنظيم می کردم."

او در نواختن پيانو برای موسيقی ايرانی، از روش مشير هـمايون بيشتر از مرتضی محجوبی اقـتباس می کرد. اما شيوه ای ويژه و يکتا داشت که تکـنيک در آن آشکار بود. معـروفی بيش از چهل سال سابقـه فعاليت در زمينه آهـنگسازی دارد. معـروفی و پدرش نخستين کسانی محسوب می شوند که قـطعاتی در دامنه موسيقی ايرانی برای پيانو ساخته و تنظيم کرده اند. اولين قـطعه ای که مـعروفی ساخت "ترانه های خیام" بر اساس رباعـيات خيام بود که در سال هـزار و سيصد و پانزده اجرا شد.

از جمله خدمات فـرهـنگی و آموزشی استاد می توان به سال های تدريسش در دانشگاه تهران اشاره كرد. در آن زمان روش ساخت آهـنگ و فرم های اصيل موسيقی را تدريس می كرد. استاد در سال های عـمرش در دانشگاه تهران و هـنرستان موسيقی شاگـردان بسياری تربيت كرد كه خودشان از هـنرمندان به نام كشور هستند. اردشير روحانی، افـليا پرتو، انوشيروان روحانی، پرويز اتابيگی (اتابـكی)، مهين زرين پنجه و ساسان محبی. خودش می گويد: 
"سبک من را انوشيروان روحانی، اردشير روحانی، افـليا پرتو، مهين زرين پنجه و ساسان محبی خوب می نوازند. آنها شاگردان خوبـم بوده اند. آنها هم موسيقی ايرانی را می دانند و هـم موسيقی غـربی را. موسيقی ايرانی را وقتی به شاگرد درس می دهـيـم که دست روان داشته باشد و موسيقی کلاسيک را زده باشد. چون موسيقی کلاسيک دست را روان و نت خوانی را قوی می کند. بعدا موسيقی ايرانی به او درس می دهـيـم، چون موسيقی ايرانی تکنيک مفصلی دارد. "

جواد معروفی فردی فروتن، خوش مشرب و صمیمی بود. شاید بتوان گفت از جمله کسانی بود که درطول عمرهنری خود سعی وافری درآشتی موسیقی سنتی و غربی داشت 
جواد معـروفی در بامداد روز سه شنبه شانزدهـم آذر ماه هـزار و سيصد و هـفـتاد و دو در 
تهران در گـذشت
