Fivos music has inspired me from the day 1 we "met".
It  started with "Nighty Walker" experience. Then maybe you have heard "The next film"...

Now all that you may hear or feel through this is the result of the instant. 

To me, it is always a genuine pleasure to let my voice go with such a sensitive piano,
always trying to deliver a message of authenticity music only brings in improvisation...


Thank you Fivos, my friend, for letting your music breathe through me.

Thanks for following!

It's Written in the Stars

Time Escape Meditations contains melodic escapes from time and space. Each composition is an orchestral portal into different dimensions and galaxies for pensive musings and other imaginative reflections.

Piano 4-3

...after 150 compositions I found its time to go out an meet my audience. First I am planning a solo piano tour over europe in 2016/2017. Next I am planning to go out with a real emsemble (4-7 musicians) and perform a series of piano/emsemble concerts to wherever it takes me. It needs a lot of preparation and it needs a lot of arrangements (synthesizer, sample, bass, cello, viola, violin, maybe some drums and percussive effects). This is where you come into place. Amongst all collaborations I will choose the best and add them to my live program. As an arranger you will get 50% of all digital sales profit (after cost for orchestra and studio) for the respective song which will be published on the live and studio albums I am planning. As said, the project is a huge undertaking for an individual like me and I am not sure I will manage to make it. So in first place you should take part in this collab to have fun and because you love music !

Thanks

Dirk
