Reminds me Keith jarrett mixed with Like Mays. Well done

Aww Every time I listen I discover  something new Amazing!

A great piano touch and delicate expression.

@julian-cafarella: I like the delicacy of your understated writing . As if what is not being said is as important as what is being said. I like this piece much better than the original (Theme for a Dream(?))

Great work! Great ideas! I really enjoyed it!

A nicely organized avalanche of pebbles on the keyboard !o) I like it !

Fantastic and distinctive beauty - thank you!

@joseph-haspel   ... no, thank YOU. Thank you for listening and giving such appreciated feedback. I'm pleasantly surprised that this experimentation/ reworking of one my other pieces has done so well. many thanks. 💜

Experimental silliness. 

I challenged myself to create completely outside of my own musical taste and comfort zone. I actually ended up rather enjoying it and learned a few tricks in the process.

You know when a mate sends you a random voice message of "Goonish" noises?? 

Yeah? You know, doncha! 

And then unexpectedly to them, you don't speak the lingo but can still translate? Yeah... innit.

Music... my favourite and most proficient language.

Good luck... (Demo)

Just a brief and unedited improvisation on a passing mood.

"Don't give me false hope. Don't give me fools. False hope."

I often tend to have words going round my head in various iterations. It's the same when I'm trying to write music. Seemingly infinite variations make it frustratingly difficult deciding how to bring a piece of music to a conclusion that feels right. Maybe I'll just let things just be how they be?

False hope.
Fools Hope.
Hopeful.
Hope fools.
Fools fall.
Hopefully.....

Fools Hope (improvisation)

Breathe

Short improvisation and editing experiment.

Yet another sample from my library of unfinished creations. I'm quite fond of this little piece except for it's banal and unsatisfying ending. I think the last few bars sound a little "weather forecast" jinglish haha. Maybe I’ll return to it someday.

New to Old (improvisation)

Messy experimental, improvisational fun on another of my countless works in progress.

More of a sound test than a finished product. An experimental, explorative attempt into classical guitar and the first upload generated from my new set up. 

Fun!

More atmospheric and easy listening fumbles on my piano.

Another improvisation on the chord progressions from the same piece as the original "The Dream Theme (Improvisation on a theme)"

I wanted to road test my new set up with something simple and this is the result. 

I still have much to learn but I hope I will soon be able to upload the completed original composition that materialised these improvised variations.

Happy dreaming!

Hello SoundCloud, 

Please visit my new YouTube channel for my artwork and music. Thank you.

https://youtube.com/channel/UCiEYPNrXuzwW0uhCPm-ocpg

Music has been an integral part of my being from a very early age, I joined our Church choir when I was just 5 years old. I wanted to sing! I won't now list every stage of my musical development but I'll just say that music has been a driving force my entire life from that point on. A love shared and participated in by my entire family. 

I was for a time a performer, many years ago. I took a two year gap after my A levels (2 of which were Music). Next was a place at the RNCM, BMus Hons Classical Saxophone  & Music History. After less than two years I felt it wasn't for me and left uncompleted.  Sadly then for such a long time, music had become just a hobby, everything I played or wrote was for my ears only.  Until now. Life has taken a new direction and with new confidence building and an opportunity to focus on music, I am now sharing with the world!

I hope to be able to build a career doing what I love and being nearly 40 years old, I think now is the time. No more hiding!

Over time I hope you will hear my recording quality improve. At the moment everything is recorded in one take and then a bit of sound tweaking in post. Please forgive fumbles while I get myself properly set up. You will hear lot's of original music played primarily on the piano, lots of guitar, some saxophone here and there and eventually some singing. All wrapped in my own original cover art. I may also do some covers at some point.

Wish me luck. Thanks for listening and please do comment.

UPDATE 12/06/2021 (friends across the pond 06/12/2021):

I am finally getting to grips with some of this tech and my new set-up but it's a bit "more ya know, more ya know ya DON'T know..." ya know? I will start to release more frequently now, but sure as anything there will still be things to iron out. Any advice or constructive criticism welcome!

Thaaaanks
