An excellent piece Frank and beautifully produced.

Beautiful spherical sounds, super fine expressive piano playing, surrounded by the mysterious choirs and winds. Fantastic work, Frank. 🎶🥰💛

Right up my ally. Wonderful Frank! 👍👍

Great atmosphere. I like much the piano part. It brings some light into this world of shadows !

In Japanese, the expression "骨を折る”hone wo oru (break one's bones) refers to making a great effort to accomplish a difficult task or challenge.This is not related to this song, but it is true that creating music is not only enjoyable, but can also require pain and endurance.When xian3 and Dream Machine make funny and lighthearted comments about this artwork, it's a great relief during those times, and I'm so glad I uploaded this song.

Broken Bones

My take on this beautiful classic, this is pretty much the first version I made, I liked it so kept this like this.

Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (8 June 1671 – 17 January 1751) was an Italian composer of the Baroque era. His output includes operas, concertos, sonatas for one to six instruments, sinfonias, and solo cantatas.[1] While famous in his day as an opera composer, he is known today for his instrumental music, especially his concertos. He is best remembered today for a work called "Adagio in G minor", attributed to him but largely written by Remo Giazotto, a 20th century musicologist and composer, who was a cataloger of the works of Albinoni.

Adagio in G Minor

This morning a free improvisation for all of You in the hope of bringing some peace to this world on fire with negative elements.
A simple flower warmed by the spring sun and abandoned to a gentle breeze...
I would like to dedicate this improvisation to the recently deceased Japanese Master Ryuichi Sakamoto, to whom I thought while playing.

My Hopeful Expectations

A lost kite
or I'm a moth
among the waves
I am an abandoned ship

when you're all alone
I'm thinking about what happened
on the edge of the cliff
What decision should I make?

Maybe it's hard to live
get up after falling
hold on to life
forget the past

My hopeful expectations
my dreams and my realities
My hard days don't pass
my smiles disappeared

Cosmétange Theme

you’re waiting for a train that might never come. the air hums with sleep and something older. you stand between what’s real and what remembers you. places unfold in your head like old film burning through the reel. you can’t tell how long it’s been. the rails keep singing soft and low like they know your name. you think you know where it goes but maybe that’s another dream. time bends here it forgets itself. still you wait. the fog moves like breath. something out there is calling but it sounds more like a memory than a voice. maybe it’s not about the end anymore. maybe it’s just the waiting. the hum. the small faith that you’re still moving.

Beginnings

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

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 😆

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

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.
