Bellissimo! Dear Andrew I have left FB for personal reason. I miss TPC hugely but I had to do it. Please let's be in contact through SC or my pv email which you have. Same for Jon, all the best, DC

So wonderful piano tune! I got deep inspiration of the snowy prairie from this music ♡

heart-felt dissonant and natural feeling decay of intensity here.
A "build-down" perhaps.


Still in my Faves, still loving this piece.

Classical

End of Times - Part II

Through Moanin’ Pines is the first piece from the piano suite “From the Southland”, composed by the African American composer Harry T. Burleigh (1866-1949).

The piece is based on the following text:

“Along de desolate roads we pass
Thro’ lonely pines and wither’d grass: -
De win’ moans in de branches tall
An’ a heavy sadness broods o’er all.”

Piano: Andrew Eales  (Nord Grand, Amber Upright piano)
Recording & Mastering:  Ableton Live Suite 11,  22 October 2021

It's been several months since I had any time for creating new music...
So in a short break I improvised this piece, hoping to kick start some more compositions.
Maybe the first in a new series of improvisations at the least! 
But catch it while you can - it might not be here next week if something better comes along!
Hope you enjoy this :-)

In existence there are ideal forms and there are imperfect manifestations of these forms.  It is a matter of philosophy which is more real to us in our experience of the world:  the perfect idealized form of an apple, or the imperfect manifestation of this form that is said to "participate in apple-ness".  In fact we don't ever see the real idealized form of an object or an idea. It is as if, as Plato said, we are prisoners of a cave, where the objective form sits outside the cave and casts shadows on the interior wall of the cave.  We see only these shadows that are subject to the limitations of our perception and influenced by the collection of our emotional beliefs and past experiences.  More abstractly, these shadows may represet a potential relationship, any of our desires or goals, our self image, or a myriad of any possible other more mundane things. We reach towards these shadows trying to understand as best we can, trying to refine them to be one step closer to perfection.  Sometimes magic happens here. Other times it does not.  Sometimes we fail to realize when it has happened.  Other times we fool ourselves into believing it has happened when it has not. The best we can hope for is to remain humble and patient, and continue to believe our perception will eventually converge with reality if we continue growing and reaching for shadows...

"Autumn Rains" is the second installment in a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This trio represents Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may help you on your journey, as it has us...

"Autumn Rains" is music inspired by the spirit of Agape. It is an album dedicated to the concept of spiritual love and universal compassion clothed in the metaphor of transcendental natural beauty. It is an album that simultaneously expresses deep love for both the creator as well as the creation. It is said God gave us music so that we could pray without words. It could be added that nature was provided as an example of exactly how to do this effectively. In this spirit, Autumn Rains is a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to learn from the natural beauty of this world, and an expression of a sense of respect for the inescapable universal equality that nature imposes. It humbly attempts to capture deep feelings of awe, granduer, idealism, and a belief in the innate goodness of the world even when we all face exceptionally hard lessons.
