And This Is How It Ends.

Messenger

I'm sleeping under the dead tree (Anoice / Films 'Messenger')

With the last lights of summer, I bring you this song; I composed it imagining myself at night, lying in bed, and thinking of what music could take me beyond a starry window.

Good Night

Double Concerto for Toy Pianos and Chamber Orchestra is my dissertation piece for my DMA in composition at University of Miami.

This is a DEMO - sounds by Noteperformer, except all the toy instruments in Movement III., which I recorded live. 

Soloist 1 plays a Kawai Mini Baby Grand, and a Jaymar 30-key tabletop. Soloist 2 plays a 25-key Michelsonne PARIS, and a Schoenhut 30-key Classic Baby Grand. All four toy pianos are amplified.

For this demo recording, I simply used a "celeste" sound for the toy pianos, which of course bears no witness to the true timbral glory of the four real instruments, which each have their own unique and very different sound. 

Movements I and III are for full chamber orchestra, and Movement III additionally has amplified banjo, and toy instruments/noisemakers. Movement II is can be a standalone piece, and is only for 2 of the 4 toy pianos. It is just toy pianos with string orchestra accompaniment, and is meant to be played by a string orchestra of any skill level, and the toy piano parts can be played by percussionists.

والحُزْنُ في صُدورِنا، رِيحٌ عاتِيَة ..

“Jon Skarin – April” explores the sound of renewal, blending cinematic soundtracks, classical motifs, world-inspired textures, and gentle folk elements. The album captures the spirit of April — a month of shifting skies, blooming life, and emotional clarity. Each piece unfolds like a moment in spring, creating a warm, reflective, and atmospheric listening journey.

Bjóða

Started with some of the noises in my head during the COVID lockdown. Pocket studio/other caveman recording tech! See Playlists for the "album" sequence ;) \m/ 
Some creative writing for grins if I think there's a collection/playlist that makes sense or goes together in sequence at some level.  Waaay too much lock-down time in 2020, started as a way to share songs and riffs w/friends and became way too much fun. (Now if I could play/mix better!!!)
