Prayer for Serenity

This is my version of the wonderful Opening by Philip Glass from Glassworks. It largely follows the piece as written, but I've added a a few bits of my own and not followed the structure exactly, hence slight rework.

This is one of the first pieces that caught my imagination when I began learning to play piano and it's taken till now for me to get to a point where I'm ready to share my take on it. I'm still very much a late starting learner with the piano, but hopefully there's enough here to get across the beauty of this piece of music.

A slight rework of Opening

Candlelight

This piece has an asian influenced theme. Having a peaceful theme, yet also portraying a certain restlessnes, to return to the peaceful theme. Hope you like it.... Do you like the sheets?  The sheet music (piano) is available for € 2,99. Send me a message for the purchase. Or see serge4music.nl  It's part of the album "Sweet and Sour"

Please enjoy this latest composition.  The picture is from an early morning walk looking back across the hilltops to where I live in Bell Canyon, CA.  Thank you for listening.

B-side to the single for Tower of the Ice Lich game, coming soon to Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3087730/T…the_Ice_Lich/.

This is one of the three Game Over track variant. It's a bit of a hybrid classical/synth piece inspired by three classical works:
Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber (famed as the theme for the Homeworld game) 
Adagio in G minor by Tomaso Albinoni (dung dung dung)
and the Dies Irae bit of Hector Berlioz' Symphonie fantastique (monks hitting their heads with books)
With added DOOM! This one doesn't loop 'cos you're dead.

Most of the instruments are Arturia Analog Labs B-3 (organs), Synclavier (bass) and MiniFreak (voice/moan of the Lich). Then some SFX from a Korg Prologue 16 and a few stock Ableton sounds. Lots of spooky echo. Mastered using Ozone.

Szintra makes meditative music with flute improvisation. Her debut album, “Szintra – The Fragrance Of Memories”
is a melancholic and genre-bending fusion between new age, classical and neoclassical darkwave.

Our Time Will Come by Szintra

I decided not to have a second surgery.
I thought alone for days.. And then..
It was a decision I agonized over until the very end of my consultation time,
“This condition will heal itself.”
No matter how many years it would take, I chose the path of “natural cure.
Now I can only sit in the chair for 30 minutes.
In the meantime, non-addictive painkillers for the long term.

Of course, if you are in trouble, you should go to a doctor.
But in the end, you have to ask my soul.
It is my own “will” that will ultimately cure this symptom.

It's not a big deal now,
(I did pass out twice last year though.)
Since last fall I have been going to the Spine Specialist Hospital  once a month to have high voltage applied to my spinal cord for 7 minutes,
It hurts like hell too.
Apparently, surgical treatment is more effective at reducing pain than painkillers.
At first I screamed in pain so much that my throat became hoarse.

How am I going to recover from this?
I can only imagine the path.
Early in the morning or in the middle of the night, I practice walking slowly,
Even if it hurts, even if it's hard, I practice walking every day.

There are many music friends in SoundCloud whom I respect.
That's why I love this place.
