@corygraffmusic: Thanks for all the lovely comments, I have added the lyrics in the description, both in Norwegian and in English. Because I am danish, some pronunciation is probably not strictly sounding Norwegian lol

I only added the lyrics because you asked lol it wasn't there previously. I have never heard of the song you mentioned. Will check it out 😊 thanks

A track written for my own healing. 
Life isn't perfect. We all have issues, big and small, and we cope with them in our own ways.
Writing music gets me through mine.
I dedicate 'Existence'  to anyone who needs an extra bit of strength in their life.
Stand tall. Love each day.

The Commonplace

March 28 is piano day. A brilliant holiday conjured by the incredible artist Nils Frahm, whom I've had the pleasure of seeing twice in concert.
This is my participation/observation of this wonderful instrument. I have always loved the sound of the piano. I have several tracks on my profile which utilize piano, but most have been in a calculated, slower, elegant manner.
For Piano Day I wanted to let loose my right hand and play with a little passion/indulgence in a more free flowing/ improvised manner. 
I wanted this track to be all about the piano, and my meager skills at playing and layering...
I hope some will find enjoyment :)

Mood Exhibit- Tactile [Piano Day 2016]

Inge (for Piano Day 2017)

This is my solo piano piece composed for Piano Day 2018: http://www.pianoday.org/

It is the coming together of two ideas I had been playing with for a file, both inspired by the movement of snow and how it seems to float as well as fall. Recorded one night with 1 mic on my miniature Wagner upright piano using the felt pedal. (sorry for the poor recording) 

You can download the full piece here: https://benstanbridge.bandcamp.com/track/floating-falling

Floating, Falling [Piano Day 2018]

Endlessly

Gjendines bådnlåt is a traditional lullaby which can be traced back to Kaia Gjendine Slålien (1870-1971), a milkmaid from the Jotunheimen area. Well known for her repertoire of songs, she met Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) on several occasions. Many of her ballads and lullabies formed the basis for his 1896 collection of “19 Norwegian Folk Songs – Op.66” which he arranged for the piano. Gjendines bådnlåt is the last piece in the collection. My version of the lullaby is mixing up various versions of the lullaby.

Lyrics:

Bånet legges i vuggen ned
stundom gråter, stundom ler (x2)
sove nå sove nå, I Jesu namn
Jesus bevare bånet (x2)

Min mor ho tok meg på sitt fang
dansa med meg fram og tilbake
Min mor ho tok meg på sitt fang
dansa med meg att och fram
Danse så med de små, danse så
så skal borna danse (x2)


Translation:
The child is placed in the crib
Sometimes crying, sometimes smiling
Sleep now, sleep now, in the name of Jesus
Jesus keep the child safe
 
My mother takes me in her arms
danced with me back and forth
Dance with the little ones, dance
So shall they dance
