This (improvised) piano piece was intended to be a jazz piece, and indeed ended up being a jazz piece. However, other than settling on a genre, I had no idea where the piece was going...until, that is, the main theme appeared out of the blue at 0:30 (about 30 seconds into the piece).

Thanks for visiting. 
What's new:  I have started work on a violin sonata. My new symphony, "Symphony for Chamber Orchestra," is posted and waiting for you.  rjb

Scores and parts for many of my works are available from my publisher Creative Spirit Music Publications. Go to  https://www.creativespiritonline.com and select "Robert John Brooks." There, you can also follow the score while listening to a recording.

My music is fully notated and is intended for live performance by live musicians.

After completing my doctorate in composition in 1979 from UNT, I took 30 years off from composing to join the computer software revolution as a software engineer.  In 2010 I began composing again and have not stopped. So, I find myself beginning (restarting?) a composition career rather late in life...but that's OK.  Most of the works posted here were written since 2010. 

Thanks for visiting.

„You don‘t need to control the         universe to be happy
keep an open mind
and play the next note 
with all the heart you‘ve got
and the music will take you places 
you never even dreamed of.“

Best described as eclectic, my style is a soothing mix mirroring my personality: mostly mellow with the occasional outburst. Although I have a background in classical piano I have always loved to create and improvise.  Since early childhood I have been trying to duplicate on the piano what I hear in my head.  Now I see how formal studies and improvisation fit together perfectly. I hope to always keep growing and learning, reflecting the beauty of Christ in all my endeavors. Thank you for your kind listening.

My bio (to copy) written by me in the third person :-)
"Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, is fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, he is devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations."

Willkommen in meiner Welt  ( Wolke ) der Musik.
Projekt : Modern Philharmonic & Charism Voices

Von Anbeginn meiner Zeit fühle und denke ich in Musik. 
Das ist es. 
Ich finde meine hier veröffentlichten Kompositionen vermitteln das.  
Obwohl ich etwas Klavierunterricht hatte komponiere ich autodidaktisch, völlig frei im Moment.  
Nicht immer sind es gefällige Harmonien. Versucht meine Musik einfach unvoreingenommen und völlig wertfrei von Euren Hörgewohnheiten zu hören.

Folgt gerne meiner Klangwelt. 
Freue mich über meinen Musik-Account auf einen regen, kreativen inspirierenden Gedankenaustausch. 
Suche hier gleichgesinnte Sounddesigner*innen und Komponisten*innen die vielleicht mit mir ein verrücktes Klangteam bilden möchten um neue Klangwelten zu entdecken und kreieren.

Welcome to my world  ( Cloud ) of music.

From the beginning of my time feel and think in music.
That's it.
I think my compositions published here convey that.
Although I had some piano lessons, I compose self-taught, completely free at the moment.
It's not always pleasing harmonies. Just try to listen to my music unbiased and completely unjudged by your listening habits.

Feel free to follow my sound world.
I'm looking forward to a lively, creative and inspiring exchange of ideas via my music account.
I am looking for like-minded sound designers and composers who might want to form a crazy sound team with me to discover and create new worlds of sound.
