Description: I did it just out of curiosity,just to see if people would like my type of music,I was afraid,nervous and scared of putting it out there,the reception I got was amazing,so I owe the Soundcloud comunity all my music after Dragon because it was all inspired by the nice motivational feedback I got.

gorgeous work , i think i had them all Ricardo , time for something new my friend :-)

A very enjoyable piano sound, lovely recorded, well played.

Fine strings too, and I like how it slowly disintegrates. Well sone

Such gentle elegance in the playing and melody. The strings are so warm and mixed beautifully. Such a touching composition, Ricardo.

Oh yes, Ricardo! Great little piece of beauty. Your piano (from the picture) needs a repair job, though 😀

Quiero Ser Libre (I Want to Be Free)

Quiero ser libre
para sentir, amar, vivir
quiero ser libre
para reir y compartir

Quiero volver
quiero volver
a tocar el cielo con las manos

Dejame estar
dejame estar contigo
vamos a ser amigos

Quiero sentir
quiero vivir
quiero ser libre

Todas esas veces
que me siento atrapado
si me hubiera dado cuenta
que siempre fui libre
siempre fui libre

Si me hubiera dado cuenta
de que nada me detiene
nada me detiene, nada
nada me detiene
nada me detiene, nada

Quiero ser libre
para sentir, amar, vivir
quiero ser libre
para reir y compartir

Quiero volver
quiero volver
a tocar el cielo con las manos 

Quiero salir
quiero seguir
quiero ser libre

Quiero sentir
quiero vivir
quiero ser libre

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

I want to be free
to feel, love, live
I want to be free
to laugh and share

I want to go back
I wanna go back
to touch the sky with my hands

Let me be
let me be with you
we're going to be friends

I want to feel
I want to live
I want to be free

All those times
when I feel trapped
if I would have realized
that I've always been free
I've always been free

If I'd had realized
that nothing stops me
nothing stops me, nothing
nothing stops me
nothing stops me, nothing

I want to be free
to feel, love, live
I wanna be free
to laugh and share

I want to go back
I wanna go back
to touch the sky with my hands

I want to get out
I want to go on
I wanna be free

I want to feel
I want to live
I wanna be free

I don't know what this is really,probably just more DV bollox!

The inspiration for the track came last year when part of my favourite walk was closed for renovations,but I sneaked in past the barriers most days anyway!
Being alone is a landscape prompted be to imagine I was the only person left alive. This in turn took me to what we are doing to the planet and what we might do to help.
Yeah,I was right the first time,more DV bollox!

Taking the shortcut
Past the sign pathway closed
I know I really shouldn't
But as long as no one knows

The sea is ever present
Turning pebbles into sand
As I begin my descent 
Into no man's land

Could be the world has ended
Erased the human race
There are times I have pretended
We didn't leave a trace

Fragile our existence
Living unaware
Yet somewhere in the distance
A rolling nightmare

Reflecting on our being
We seek to understand
Looking but not seeing
We live in Wonderland

Could be the world has ended
Erased the human race
There are times I have pretended
We didn't leave a trace

Wonderland

This is my first attempt doing a vocal slap house type of song, been working on this song for quite a while and I am glad that it is now finally complete.

I hope you find this song uplifting and thank you all for your continued support and for listening!

9:30 Alberta is a story of change found in a place of opportunity. 
The Berland River Alberta is the backdrop for this untouched sound .. an expression of natural beauty and an appreciation for all that it gives.

Oh I Wish

Oh Ukraine

Dans ce chemin sonore, instrumental,  les imaginaires en mouvement ouvrent le passage où la pluie interconnecte tous les êtres, jusqu’à ce que surgisse ce qui chante en nous et nous réveille à la cartographie du réseau géofractal, captée par le templophone de mémoire qui inscrit le souffle d’un corps monde guidé par les instruments du Futur.

corps monde

Album instrumental mélant Rock celtique et musique néo-classique

Amour perdu

Unsettled Minds is a sweeping collection of orchestral adaptations that transform Beethoven’s Appassionata themes and beyond into symphonic meditations for restless souls. Each movement embraces turbulence and tenderness: brooding strings hover on the edge of silence, woodwinds whisper with searching fragility, and brass resound with fateful grandeur. Expanding Beethoven’s architecture into Rachmaninoff-like romantic musings of lush textures and cinematic dramas that capture the beauty and unease of an unsettled mind — where moments of stillness are broken by storms of emotion, and melodies carry both torment and transcendence. 

Performed in the imagined voice of Europe’s greatest orchestras, this album is an invitation into a dream state where longing, unrest, and fragile nobility collide.

Abissi

An Irish-tinged tune about the Lindisfarne Gospels to reflect the Irish foundations of the community despite the later Romanisation of the Celtic church. 

The track title comes from me thinking about it being a beacon of civilisation, a rallying point, during the Early Middle Ages whist a far chunk of the UK was under Viking rule and Christianity had again been pushed to the margins of the UK.

Thanks to Karen O'Mahony (MonnoDB) for her (harp playing) advice - check out her stuff here:- https://soundcloud.com/monnodb

Background
The Lindisfarne Gospels is an illuminated manuscript gospel book probably produced around the years 715-720 in the monastery at Lindisfarne, off the coast of Northumberland, which is now in the British Library in London. The manuscript is one of the finest works in the unique style of Hiberno-Saxon or Insular art, combining Mediterranean, Anglo-Saxon and Celtic elements.

The Lindisfarne Gospels are presumed to be the work of a monk named Eadfrith, who became Bishop of Lindisfarne in 698 and died in 721 AD

With The North Shore I hope to give a feel of that 'magical interface' between land and sea, a place apart from the hustle and bustle of life where your soul can find peace for a while. A natural world full of wonder for those with the time and inclination to see.

Background
The 'semi-hidden' North Shore of Lindisfarne is driven past by tourists every day, eager to see the 'sites' of the Island in their race against time before the tide cuts them off from the mainland. It is part of the Lindisfarne Natural Nature Reserve and its shifting sands and tides combine to create the 3500 hectares of dunes, saltmarsh and mudflats of the Reserve, home to a fascinating array of birdlife, seals, rare orchids and other wildlife. To experience it you need to spend time on the island, either by choosing to be cut off by an early tide or ideally stay on the island for a while.

I find it hard to communicate,sometimes only through the piano can I express what I truly feel. I love to write music for people who love to dream.
Thank you for taking the time to listen.
Kind regards.

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.

Dragon
