I myself am not a music player (though I used to play piano), I made this playlist based on how well I was inspired to write my books and make works of art, and I hope those who listen to this may get the same feeling :) I will probably keep expanding this, so if you need to calm yourself or a nice breeze of inspiration, be my guest. And also thanks to the artists in my playlist for the wonderful tracks.

I hope you enjoy my newest piece :) I tried to capture a lot of different moods in this one, like the adventures you have in a night inside your mind. All the different dreams we have while sleeping are part of this piece.

New album "The Swans" - 12 Valses Melancoliques
The great success of my first series "Valses melancoliques encouraged me to continue this musical idea of melancholic valses, resulting in 12 new valses from C minor to B minor.

Now I am more than happy to announce that the brilliant pianist Danaë Xanthe Vlasse (https://soundcloud.com/danae-vlasse) from Los Angeles / USA has recorded the whole series! Danaë performs these works in a masterful way, bringing interpretive variety to each waltz such that each piece portrays distinct character, and all are a delight to hear!

This album is available on iTunes, AmazonMP3, Spotify and many other platforms:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/stephan-beneking-swans-12/id748395369
A physical CD will be available on Amazon and on CreateSpace soon: https://www.createspace.com/2209540

“But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o'clock in the morning.”

Unreleased Piano Version of "Nymphe" ... 

LIKE AMANIC

AMANIC - Nymphe (Unreleased Piano Version)

It's always pure magic when nature creates abstract art using only water, air, and sunlight. There is really some epic beauty to be found in nature, even in the simplest and most humble things. What a wonderful gift we have all been given to be a part of this world. I hope we all learn to value it as deeply as we should, and protect it for future generations...

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"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.

Andrew Souter -- Melting Icicles

Ilya Beshevli - Morning Again

Danny Norbury - Light in August (album preview)

On The Road Again (7/8) - Piano Solo

I make all of my music using primarily a Kurzweil PC88 full-size keyboard (with weighted keys), an M-Audio interface and Garage Band software (with all of the Jam Packs) on my IMac.

I regard every track (so far) as evolving concepts to be subtracted from or added to whenever possible or needed.
