Beautifull reminds me of October :-)  Love the piano

Today is the 1st of October 2022. I am sat in bed with a terrible cold. But listening to your wonderful music is soothing my soul. Just lovely.🎶🎶🎶

Superb writing, performing and arranging Frank.

The gales of early autumn give way to a sweet and peaceable transition of changing color and reflection on life and its beauty. Your music (and track picture) are deeply emotive.

I hate to say goodbye (or at least farewell) to October.  Your track pinpoints this feeling very well for me.  Lovely melancholy.

Main instruments used taken from Spitfire Audio's BBC Symphony Discover except piano, oboe, choir, pecussion and risers 🙂

The farewell is now announced,
nature mourns,
the summer is too much aged,
its clock is now ticking.

The becoming is past,
the parting sets in,
it shows itself in sublimity
as autumnal beautiful glow.

A silver-colored night robe
wraps mountain and valley,
the world - it shines in retirement,
the sun shines pale.

The dew pearls from stalk and leaf,
the sky shows its blue
and every drop reflects dully,
and brightens the gray of farewell.

A heavy course is carried out
in silent harmony,
It is life's farewell song
it will never go out.

Der Abschied ist nun angesagt,
es trauert die Natur,
der Sommer ist zu sehr betagt,
es läuft jetzt seine Uhr.

Das Werden ist Vergangenheit,
es setzt das Scheiden ein,
es zeigt sich in Erhabenheit
als herbstlich schöner Schein.

Ein silberfarbnes Nachtgewand
ummantelt Berg und Tal,
die Welt – sie glänzt im Ruhestand,
die Sonne leuchtet fahl.

Es perlt der Tau von Halm und Blatt,
der Himmel zeigt sein Blau
und jeder Tropfen spiegelt matt,
verschönt des Abschieds Grau.

Vollzogen wird ein schwerer Gang
in stiller Harmonie,
es ist des Lebens Abgesang,
erlöschen wird es nie.

October

When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

By the way: this user-92853963 was my old link address and leads to the empty.... I AM NOT A ROBOT!

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.
