The Saddest Word of all is Love

the saddest word of all is Love
it cries tears that turn its head
to gaze on the arguments of the undead
as they pretend to fight for life
under the shadow of another dark night
where upon the dying deeds already done
it treatens to break the hearts of everyone
to speak a spoken word so rare - so kind
under the shadow of another distant kiss
two hearts prepare to miss each other
one has given her heart to another
under the shadow of another dark night
two eyes wallow in the sadness of life.

The Saddest Word Of All Is Love

A collab with wonderfully talented Dirk Maassen. 
I listened to his piano track "East" https://soundcloud.com/ascoltadi/dirk-maassen-east-open-collab and Dirk posted that it would be an open collab... so I took the piece of him and added another piano line, string orchestra and a flute... 

Here is my version of EAST. I hope you like it and thank you very much, Dirk, for your great inspiration and music! :D

Sky Passage - Blakus

In response to an open collaboration invitation from Dirk Maassen I could not resist the opportunity to add some guitar swells and drones to accompany Dirk's beautiful piano performance and composition. 

It was an absolute pleasure for me working on this collaboration. Thank you Dirk....

East by Dirk Maassen feat. An Imaginal Space

If you're still looking for a happy ending I suggest you start searching for a new beginning.

A New Beginning

When I first heard Lungi dance from the movie Chennai express, it's incredible peppy catchiness only meant one obvious thing - someone needed to make a Western classical remix version. Imagine frilly dresses, wigs, Austrian nobility and state-of-the-art Erode lungis. 

The Violin and Cello were recorded on the really impressive Yeti Blue microphone, which is so sensitive that if you listen really hard, you can occasionally hear the pigeon on my window sill making enquiries about the local availability of pretty single pigeonesses. 

In addition to the tracks I recorded on my instruments, some software layers were used to expand the soundscape to do justice to this most excellent song. 

Danse Macabre De Lungi

Drama, mystique intrigue, love - everything that makes up a romantic separation in the old black and white movies.

 "This whole earth in which we inhabit is but a point is space."

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"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.

Piano addict - Composer - Singer/Songwriter
Please send me a message, if you want to work with me. 

When I compose, I try to create pieces with heart, which move other people.
I love creativity, conversation and collaboration just the same as music, nature and open-minded people.

I write and produce modern classical music like piano music, soundtracks and music for media in the first place. But I also love to compose singer-songwriter songs and music for theater, art and other... Check it out!
