“Cap Gris Nez” embodies a musical journey as enigmatic and profound as the scenic vistas of its namesake, a renowned headland in France. 
This track unfurls a rich auditory landscape, inviting listeners to embark on a voyage not just through sound but through emotion and memory.

In every note, there is a whisper of the sea breeze and the echo of distant horizons, a testament to the diverse cultures and environments that have shaped the artists’ unique sound. The composition delicately intertwines with the essence of Yann Tiersen‘s mesmerizing soundscapes, creating a narrative that is both intimate and expansive. Michele Nobler presents a piece that mirrors the minimalist lifestyle and the deep appreciation for the beauty found in simplicity.

“Cap Gris Nez” stands as a beacon for the wandering soul, a symphony that captures the convergence of varied musical influences into a seamless harmony. This track is an ode to the artist’s journey across the tapestry of life, embracing frugality and the richness it brings to art. It serves as a poignant reminder that music, akin to life itself, knows no boundaries. It is a celebration of the world’s cultural mosaic, seen through the eyes of those who find endless inspiration in its diversity.

In the serene embrace of “Cap Gris Nez,” listeners find an open invitation to traverse the landscape of memories and dreams, where every melody is a footprint left on the heart’s shore, inviting reflection, connection, and an unspoken promise of return to the tranquil beauty of Cap Gris Nez.

This set of SWWs was written in memory of a wonderful singer, teacher and friend, Diana Walkley. Here, significant reference is made to Elgar's Music Makers - a score of great insight, I now understand, into a lonely composer: a true 'dreamer of dreams'

Here comes a shortened version of my brand new improvisation. This one is a bit serious, but I still hope that you like it. I played and recorded it today. Just pure piano performance. My improvisations are always "free", meaning that I play without any concept. The music is most spontaneous. Please enjoy and share! You can find the full version here, too. Unfortunately
Soundcloud limits recommendations to ten minutes playtime. Some of my improvisations are much longer and I am not willing to limit myself into any algorithm !!!!

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.
