Hi all
Been doing a lot of recording lately, and now Im starting work on my home upright.

Did some trials with mics etc, and I think Im happy with the sound now. Needs maybe some more warmth, and there are of course room sounds.

Hopefully I will start soon recording all my piano pieces like this for online streaming. 

At least, it should work for my tv projects.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 — Dash (feat. Rachel Brick, Matheus Souza, Randy Garcia)

At the moment, I am in the middle of various stages in my life. I've sold my business & am embarking on a full time music career. I'm also in the process of shifting houses to an area a few 100 kilometres away, so everything feels like shifting ice underneath my feet. The phrase "Find your way" came to me as I sat at the piano for this improvisation & here is the result.

Find Your Way

When you are about to wake up but still balancing between the dream and the reality, when your thoughts are full of reflection on what was and what is going to be, when rays of the first light sneak through the curtains to reflect off the walls.. it's 6am on my musical clock... it's the time of Reflection..

...Night... Notte... the time of silence, dreams, reflections.. the time when the music happens in between notes more than in the notes themselves. 

I am happy to announce the release of the printed sheet music book! All twelve pieces are carefully transcribed and engraved. It's available in both perfect and spiral binding variants. If you want to play these minimalistic pieces, leave a comment and I'll send you the link for ordering an autographed copy ;-)

"Notte" is released on all major platforms! You can listen to the entire album on Spotify or Apple Music, or get it on Amazon, Google Play or BandCamp. I can also send you an autographed CD!

For my mom who introduced me to the beauty in sounds and colours. For my father, who shaped my diverse musical tastes and pushed me into improvising. For my husband who inspired me to come back to music and keep going no matter what challenges I might face. And for my amazing children, who I love and hope to pass this tradition to...

These past months have been challenging for all. I've been into my musical cave working on my upcoming album - the most challenging album we've ever attempted to produce. Almost all the recordings are done: Hang, drums and other percussion, piano and cello, even vocal for some tracks. What is left is to finish all the vocal recordings, hopefully, next week. This album will feature Phil DiMercurio on the drums, Yamaha artist Yoed Nir on cello and Canadian singer-songwriter Alexa Ray on most of the vocals. And then it will all be mixed by Grammy-featured Matthew Shell. Such a cool lineup and we all hope that you will enjoy this album when it goes out on Halloween. The name is "Abracadabra!" and it's full of magic, enchanting spells and mysterious witchcraft. Stay tuned :)

Simple Melody - Teaser - out in september

Nature is bigger than human beings. We arrogantly try to capture and control everything. Like trying to catch a butterfly, our exploits can easily cause harm or destruction. Some things are better left alone, in their natural state, untouchably beautiful!
