fantastic storytelling through your music - a great tribute to your uncle ♥

Excellent sound and amazing piano.👏👏

again wonderful playing , very good track :-)

thankyou for your deep insights into your works Konrad. magic on the piano!

Beautiful piece with such a lovely performance and backstory! Love it!

I recently renovated this one. An instrumental, with moments where you can tap along, and slower reflective moments. It signifies the ebb and flow of a workday. So I named it Working Day!

Working Day

Lyrics:

Do You feel empowered, or do you feel like you're enslaved?
Do your dreams grow and flower, or do they burn in raging flames in your mind?
Do you feel empowered?

You say your letting go
And you don’t want to know
But what you need to know
Is that you belong

Don’t say your letting go
Just say you want to know
But you say 'it’s all gone wrong'

Spending your time
In the sorrow
Where you’ll never know how far you can go
You're never gonna know
If you say you’re letting go
But I know you know
I’m here for you now

Does your heart beat in wonder, or does it feel like it's been drained?
Are you living your life like thunder, or do you hide and feel ashamed in your mind?

Do you feel empowered? 
Please don't feel like your enslaved
Let your dreams grow and flower
Don't let them burn in raging flames in your mind

Feel empowered

Empowered

A song that touches on the realm of mental health and how we need to help break down the defence of such a powerful illness. It’s not a box to tick or a problem to solve its far more complicated than that. 
If theirs someone we love or just someone we know or even a complete stranger just shine a little light into there corner. This will let them now they are not alone and we are here to talk and help. 
The song as been recorded with live instruments remotely and me and Sarge  we would like to thank the musicians who got involved.
Sarge as produced, played several instrumentals and liaised with the other musicians to make this happen. Enjoy

UN HOMME MAGNIFIQUE (Lyrics) Song for Eric

I wrote this piece for my uncles 80th birthday. The composition captures various facettes of his life: Coming from (catholic) Austria but settling and living in (protestant) Switzerland, he has throughout his life been actively involved in his church community. So I took a variation of the  ecumenical Taize-song “Bleibt bei mir und wachet mit mir” (Matthew 26:38) as the main theme. The theme is coming up three times, interrupted by various parts that touch on other episodes of his life: his bringing up in the aftermath of WW II, his family life in rural Switzerland or as his classic piano education and subsequent Jazz/Blues/Boogie improvisations which he distributed on CD to friends and family.  My uncle is also the person who nurtured my musical interest by frequent CD gifts and he inspired me to publish my pieces. Thank you for bringing this aspect into my life and happy birthday 😊.

Compositionwise, the piece is relatively straight forward: The main theme comes three times (in the very beginning and in the very end in d minor and after ca 1 min in a minor) with the  first bars stemming from the above mentioned song but then leaving the original version with intermittent parts that resemble the main stations of my uncles life. The other thing I tried to emphasize in this song is a switching between parts with a relatively rigid 4/4 metrum and some intermittent parts with triplets.

FEW AND FAR BETWEEN

Thank you to everyone who listened to this track at the beginning of the new year.
People are surrounded by happiness.
Everything is made with a smile.
The energy of laughter, the vibration of a laughing voice, the world begins to fill with smiles.
Nice, I imagined your smile and played the guitar.

Smile is like that of an Angel's

Raw Harmony: Live Piano & Percussion

Dear Reader, dear Listener! I am glad that I may welcome you on my channel.
Stemming from Vienna, I feature here my compositions which I pursue after my daytime job. Though this is not my main job, I devote a lot of effort and practice into crafting, refining and rehearsing my pieces.

My musical journey started when I was 6 year old and subscribed to piano lessons in the public music school of Vienna (thanks to the city of Vienna for funding the beginnings of my passion; Yes, I am a big supporter of publicly funded education!). I finished my piano education (mostly centered around classic and romantic music) at the age of 22 and have since pursued my passion of playing and composing. I had year-long interruptions due to my work leading me astray from home; still I recorded also in these times fragments, ideas and tunes onto my voice recorder – must have been a strange sight when I was humming and whistling on the airports. 
Besides my piano pursuit, I have been part of a local quire for the past 30 years. We have been covering a huge repertoire from Rennaissance up to 20th century contemporary music which gave me a more comprehensive view of different styles and genres. 
My music is a fusion of different styles, stemming from my musical education and more modern, contemporary elements from Jazz, Rock or Pop. I constantly aim to explore the limits and extend the boundaries of my composing style in the different pieces. Like: 
Exploring various scales and tonalities. Building the tension curve of the overall piece by switching between soothing and rhythmic parts. Experimenting with syncopes and polyrhythmics. Modulating along but also across the circle of fifth. Mastering of the track.

If you like what you are hearing, I would be delighted if you follow my channel; if you have feedback (positive and in particular also constructive suggestions for further improvement), I would very much appreciate it in the comments or if you leave me a private message.
Enjoy your time with my music!
