totally awesome..very impressive soundtrack..LOVE it!

Thank you for the support, I appreciate it very much !

I don't think of prayer as a passive activity, but actively engaging and dialoguing with God about the state of affairs be it personal or of late, international in scope and consequence.  I am praying for Ukraine that their show of strength in the face of tyranny may be rewarded with freedom and peace. I'm praying also for Russia, a land of vast wealth and beauty, for the people whom I have come to know and love on the Cloud, that they may know it is a bad actor and not them who is to blame for the shadow that has fallen upon Europe, and in a broader sense, over all of civilization.  Peace is not the exception to human existence, bullets and bombs are.  Love is the state of normal we want to have, not hate.  I offer in this guitar meditation a prayer for peace.

A Prayer for Peace (Meditation for Guitar)

This is a collaboration with my brother who wrote and recorded the acoustic guitar track first, and I then added the piano to it (and later added a piano interlude and ending).   

As a piano player, I find that it can be a challenge to share the stage with another instrument without being too obtrusive.  Additionally, piano and acoustic guitar are both rich in frequencies making mixing a challenge (especially for my novice mixing skills).  I don't think I would have even attempted this project if I hadn't heard a bunch of wonderful and inspiring acoustic guitar and piano duet examples on SC from @debra_buesking and @david-dunhamuser589535203  https://soundcloud.com/debra_buesking/sets/dunham-buesking-collabs
This song is in a different style than their work, but nevertheless it was very helpful to listen to Deb and David's songs while thinking about how to try to fit in the piano in a complementary way.

Song title: The rugged sound of the flat-picked dreadnought together with the spaced out melody of the piano gives me an overall impression of desert/Western combined with sci-fi/fantasy.

Rolling Fields

OOOO baby
it sure is dark outside
and the heat of the day ain't wearing off
but I'm so happy you stayed
must be - I tempted fate
staying up so late...
making memories...with you
and I don't worry
cause with you, babe - there ain't no hurry
and maybe just for one night
I can bear my soul
let you paint me like a canvas
in spirits and oil
(mmmmm...) and I can feel myself
slipping away
gonna make this a holiday
yea...spirts and oil...painting my soul
yea...you know me well
and I can feel myself slipping away...yea
O baby
it's so dark outside
still feeling the heat of the day
no...it ain't wearing off...
so won't you come wash in the water
carried in from the lake
gonna be happy you stayed
baby, happy you stayed

Happy You Stayed

Sweet Dreams

Inextinguishable Darkness

Hi, I'm a classical pianist with over 30 years of practice. I've been surrounded by music my whole life. I've studied music since I was 4 years old all the way through high school and college. I started recording my own compositions. I love the modern composers making music for film. I can always find inspiration there. I love the complexity of the arrangements. I really enjoy making film music.

I hope you like my ideas and consider giving a like :)
