The Light Unbalances Her

A nostalgic piano piece improvised one night on an old, out of tune piano.

From the album 'Forms'

Ten directions is a Eastern cosmogony’s term that means "in all directions throughout the space." These directions are the eight of the compass: east, south-east, south, southwest, west, north-west, north, north-east, plus the Nadir – to the down - and Zenit - at the top.  These "Ten directions" are often matched to past, present and future to describe the set of all places – Ten Directions - and times - Three Times.
 At any time and in any place existed a sound that awakens and resonates at a specific emotional state. A call that is heard and collected by those who were looking for it for a long time and in any direction.
 
While playing or composing, I take refuge into myself, directing the sound through the ten directions of space. Then, I let my thoughts meander both in the internal direction, the innerself, and in the outer, the discovery and the meeting. The union of these two states arouses emotion, subtle matter that can be felt by those who are listening and are on the same frequency and in tune.

 The launch of the thought starts from the silence, and then, one key after another, starts moving and traveling through the air like an arrow into space. The sound is without obstacles, in the ten directions, and resonates through the invisible world of vibrations. Announces itself and enters the inner space. It comes to ears, the hearing organ, and shakes all the other senses. It kidnaps, touch the nerve centre and pervades us. It meets and joins up with something that is already there, and is welcomed as it was expected all along.

 The sound is clear, it radiates and spreads everywhere, and comes back, in a two-way process, creating contact points and unexplained bridges. Is a dimension that affects and charms because we recognize it, surprised and excited at the same time. As a light, it illuminates hidden areas through the mind and the heart, and reaches the deepest part of our inner. The listener and the player finds themselves alive in a sensitive state, and this sharing creates the communion, the union of sound and spirit, music and noise away from fiction, which dwells always and everywhere in the ten directions.

The Contentedness Of Being

Compline is a monastic practice where monks gather to reflect & mark the completion of the working day.

There's no religious significance as such for me, but the concept of reflecting on the day's events right at it's very end, is an interesting and fascinating idea. Feel free to listen to this song in this way, and maybe with headphones.

I recorded this song for Piano Day 2016, held on 28th March. I hope you enjoy it! www.pianoday.org

Levi Patel - Sketch 25 (Algorithmics/Piano Day 2017)

I composed this song for a short movie some friends of mine worked on...
I wouldn't call this an "official" Nyctalgia song...

Silvio Pfiffner- Coming Home

Hey there! Here is an Improvisation For Piano Day 2018, Waterfalls.
Follow me on my Facebook page and on my Youtube Chanel for more videos and news :) Hope you'll enjoy! All the Best.

Waterfalls

Hello, I love to create beautiful music here in New Zealand, typically combining intimate guitar and piano composition with richly harmonic strings and delicate textures.

Besides my own music, I produce and engineer for other artists, arrange strings, co-write songs, and compose for film and television. I'm also building a robot.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you'll enjoy what you find :)
