This musical material is very dear to me and it came to me many years ago, in about 2002. I would walk to my bus stop to go to school or walk to the bazar always humming these few very simple chords. They were stuck in my head for quite some years. Strange that at that time I had never considered doing anything with this material. Maybe because I was very much occupied with abstract contemporary conceptual music back then. The older I become the more I appreciate clarity, simplicity and emotion in music rather than complexity and hidden abstract concepts. The time to unfold this material came 20 years after. Thomas Nakas aka @to_mi_nor brought it to life by creating a beautiful piano part, structure and arrangement. This is our second EP and there are more works to come!

The improvisations are rough, meaning that I recorded them in one take with no corrections or editing and this represents the concept of this EP. Do we have to be perfect at all? Or is it maybe more important to honestly communicate your thoughts, your feelings, regrets, nostalgia?..

Days pass...and we make decisions and choose the path we believe in
These roads are full of surprises, sensations, and difficulties
I will let my heart and faith continue the way

Where The Path Leads - Video in link

This is my new relaxing piano music Flowing River. The inspiration for the piece came from the flowing movements of water. I hope you enjoy my new composition.

Flowing River

This wonderful song by @matthias_am_klavier is a trip through landscapes and inner realms, a topic that has always fascinated him. Thanks a lot to Matthias for asking me to record the trumpet part and Adam Tucker for doing the mastering.

Approximate translation of the lyrics:

We fill up the bottles,
the goal the horizon.
In the heart no pain, no thoughts,
our worries are gone too.

So far this world,
so wonderful this sand,
With you by my side
With you by my hand

Here no one can stop us any more,
swimming in the horizon
Wide open views, from high cliffs,
deep inside us, the land speaks.

Flying high, circling the coast,
Deep in the sea, we see the ground,
Warm air warms our thoughts,
Deep within us, the land speaks.

Then in the evening under the blankets
Cold air on the face
Infinity in the starry sky
which then engulfs us

Tide feat. Hanna Bienert

Do you know the moment when your eyes wander to the sky, your thoughts drift and you come to rest inside? The solo piano piece "Poise" describes exactly this moment. It's the balance between lightness and heaviness, almost like floating and never wanting to land again.

Petite Dances - Poise

Woodnight

A fusion of Classical music with mezzo soprano and new age music. Marianne Lihannah sings the very famous 'Ave Maria' melody written by Gonoud. Instead of the well-known Bach prelude as accompaniment, she sings with keyboards and vsti synthesizers by Paul Landry.
