Very sombre, but beautifully integrated sound.

SNR selection 18-Jul-2025

A piece I did back in mid November 2020. Kind of a dark piece but struggling to find the light.

Journey to the Light

A huge thank you to Stefan @stefankraft_music for his splendid orchestral reimaginings of my piano compositions, which resulted in creating an incredibly captivating sonic tapestry. It has been a great honour and joy for me to collaborate with this immensely talented composer and musician.

Thank you so much for listening, we genuinely hope you will enjoy this work.

Over (Ft. Stefan Kraft)

Every night at 2:13 a.m., the old carousel at the edge of town begins to turn—slowly, deliberately—though no one is ever seen near it. The fairground was shut down decades ago, fenced off and forgotten, but locals swear they’ve seen the horses rising and falling in the dark, their chipped paint gleaming under moonlight.

There’s no power. No wind. Just movement.

Some say a child vanished there on the fair’s final night. Others whisper that the carousel was built with parts from somewhere… not quite right. It doesn’t thrash or scream. It moves gently, like it remembers how to bring joy—but has no one left to share it with.

It’s not violent. It’s not loud. But it spins, always at 2:13, like it’s waiting for someone to come back.

The Carousel

A dark, fateful opening ushers in the vast expanse of the Pandemic Suite. The bassoon strikes a motif of destiny— a solemn call, answered with heavy hearts by the string orchestra.
Inevitable, unrelenting, chord upon chord presses forward, until the music finds its root— the home key, like fate fulfilled.
A dark entry-gate to the 31-part Suite.

Pandemic Suite – 01. Prologue

"Oh, I've had such a curious dream!' said Alice."  
  - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

A companion piece to "Through the Looking Glass" and "Down the Rabbit Hole."

A Curious Dream

132 - Remains Of The Void

This Jim Carey clip seeded this song today. I think he has a nice angle to give on depression. Jim in general I find very inspiring. For me he spells out very clearly and eloquently that no matter affluence we all go though the same brain battles during this life experience.

I do deal with small amounts of depression but fortunately it's rare for me. Some days though the mind just cannot level those feelings and you just got to let them pass.

Gabor Mate would be one person that really helped me change my life and in my opinion has some of the finest views on pro active positive mindset and I'd highly recommend listening to him. He has incredible societal views relevant to the human condition of the individual and the people who influence you growing up and how you can respond to thise influences. He also has some intriguing views on the state of the medical world and offers some very nice shift we could make in the future. Instead of masking problems with artificial antetodes that maybe we can prevent a lot of them with a life of a clearer more content mindset. I believe he feels our experience and frame of thinking can manifest physical problems in the body however conventional medicine rarley considers this as part of the diagnosis and cure. I will note that it appears to be long term lifestyle choices that could bear the fruits of Gabor's thinking and as ever take everyone with a pinch or three of this 🧂 and make up your own mind 🫶🏽 Hope you're not depressed and if you are peace and love to you 🫂

"Seek the reality of everything, don't get seduced by appearances of anything. Don't be afraid of your pain and don't run away from it because that running away is what leads to addictions and illnesses. It's all worth it. It's worth going through all that suffering because this is what life is. It's just worth being alive." Dr Gabor Maté


Lyrics
Deep-Rest,
Says Jim of depressed
Fuck you body!
Shelve the avatar!
Let's reset
You need this for future clear wist
Feel some fear for reference bliss
Feel the pain
Know your pleasure reframed

Deep-rest
Refill your chest
Quieten the mind
Brain reboots to find your kind self

Super duper happy
Wait, super duper sad
This mind seems looped now front to back
What's this feeling?
When will it go?
Maybe I can sing it and pretend I'll never know

Deep-rest
Refill your chest
Quieten the mind
Brain reboots to find your kind to self

You need this for future clear wist
Feel some fear for reference bliss
Feel the pain
Know your pleasure reframed

Deep-rest
Fuck you body we said
Deep-rest
Fuck you mind we said
Deep-rest
Fuck you body we said
Deep-rest

Lonely Road

The State of Israel was created almost 80 years ago in response to an attempted genocide. We are now watching a genocide of the Palestinian people in real time on our tv screens. This is happening with the collusion of democratic  governments. How did we descend to this?
This acoustic guitar improvisation is by 3 guitars based on '4+ 20'. I had intended to write a protest song about the war, but I cannot find the words. This is inadequate, we should all speak up to condemn this barbarity however small our voices are. 
We "grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?"

Almost 80

MUSICA SCONNESSA (Disjointed Music)

The Foolish Dreamer

Sunrise Smile

Of course, it's not Halloween yet, but here's a sneak preview 😀
The choice of title reveals that this is a traditional folk song with elements of neoclassical music.

Samhain, which is pronounced “Sauwen” (with a breathy “w”), marks the beginning, end and new beginning. While the time of summer has finally come to an end, a new year is already beginning...

Samhain

Violinist, pianist, chamber and orchestral musician, devoted to composing neo-classical music. 

I want to weave a gentle, emotional orchestral language, that speaks about live and touches the heart. I try to capture these ephemeral, timeless, and moving moments, transcribing them with devotion to sound and recording them in the sound studio.

The music creations are a testament to the value of retreat,
where silence gives birth to the most profound expressions, contrapuncting the noise of our world.

Thanks for your kind listening and commenting !
