Song in which string blend admirably with the piano

It's beautiful, a clichéd sentiment, but I feel it from the bottom of my heart. I've never encountered such beautiful mechanisms before.

This is my whimsical impression of moving through dream states.

At some point during our REM state,
we may move from free floating imagery
to suddenly crystalizing within a lucid state...while it lasts.

Upon this startling realization,
that nothing could seem so real,
it also begins to appear
that this new reality soon slips back 
into the mundane fare of dreamscapes...

and suddenly we arrive in Alpha,
when we are realigning with consensus reality,
where we believe everyone is sharing the same dream.

This laid back song takes its course without many surprises, just like a afternoon where you have nothing specific to do. Your mind wanders around from here to there, not really resting on a specific topic but without haste thinking about this and that.

Compositionwise: Most of the song plays with a delay of an eigth beat between the left and the right hand. Typically, the right hand follows the left hand thus creating a relaxed and laid back feeling. However, at times, the delay when playing shifted quarter beats in the left and right, leads to the music sounding more agitated though both hands have actually relatively slow metrums. (e.g. @ 0.35 or @ 1:20). The main motive arrives three times in the song in different variations with a relatively long (@ 1:10-@ 2:40) middle part that touches on  prelude-like as well as song-like elements. 

The track has been recorded on a Roland FP-90 and mastered in Cubase relatively puristically by just adding  reverb and fiddling a bit with the EQ. I currently find that other effects such as Compressor or Stereo Enhancer do not necessarily improve the sound. But might change that opinion again when I gain more experience ... :-)

The Flow of Love

50 Cal.

My dear friends, with great pleasure I’d like to present to you my second collaboration with Franck C Production (aka Franck Charles) — a wonderfully talented composer and musician. You can listen to Franck’s incredibly beautiful cinematic and orchestral music here: @franck-charles-676082884

«No Replay, No Rewind» is our new collaborative work based on my existing solo piano piece. I am sincerely grateful to Franck for turning this piece into an extremely powerful orchestral work and creating such an achingly beautiful, intense and dramatic atmosphere. It has been a great honour and joy to collaborate with Franck.

Thank you so much for listening to this music, and we really hope you will find it enjoyable!

I have again the honour and pleasure to share with you a piece by my friend Philippe Blanc, it's part of his album "16 Ans"....
he asked me if I would like to play this piece for him.....a little story goes with it, he had composed this for a girlfriend in his younger years, but never told her about this piece.....
I hope you will like to listen to it, as much as I enjoyed playing it....

A New World Dawns

In streets once familiar, now strange and new
Ancient rhythms fade, replaced by a bolder hue
The land I knew, with traditions deep and strong
Slowly dissolves into a discordant song
Faces once mirrored mine, shared stories now untold
Amidst this sea of strangers, and cultures manifold

Our customs and values, once firmly in place
Blur and shift, leaving barely a trace
Languages mingle, accents collide
The essence of home seems to subside
In this tidal wave of change and flux
I search for anchors, familiar crux, familiar crux

A new world dawns, equally bright
A new world dawns, equally bright

Yet in this loss, a bittersweet truth emerges
As cultures blend and humanity surges
Though the country I once knew may fade from sight
Perhaps a new world dawns, equally bright
Maybe equally bright
Still, I mourn for what once was mine
A shared identity, now hard to define

In this global village, ever-growing
I'm left adrift, nostalgia flowing
Though the country I knew may fade from sight
Perhaps a new world dawns
Perhaps a new world dawns
A new world dawns, equally bright
A new world dawns, equally bright

A New World Dawns

If you're thinking this guy is trying to copy the sound and style of Pink Floyd, you're right! 🤣🤣. That is the fun of making your own music! You can make whatever you would want to listen to. I hope you enjoy it.

In a dream, you’ll make it
Has to be, to take it
Guilty, we can see our saviour
The bastard, he can be our traitor

The wind and sea will impale ya
If you’re like me; a drunken sailor
To never be free, I found a jailer
A sot, a near-do-well, a total failure

There has to be something braver
For saving me, blind faith, and valor
The troubled breeze of change surrounds us
A muddled release of all they’re talking about

In a dream, you’ll break it
The mirror of fate, yourself; you hated
Bring to me the sands of Abydos
For the beggar who has the most

I’ll squint to see if there’s land there yet
Uncertainty is the jailer now
Brought to peace, my fight is over now
Into that dream, forever; on and on

Quiet Desperation
