Easy production using available Garage Band Instrumentation, emulating, hopefully, the experience of hiking at night.

Lafayette Reservoir Rim Trail At Night

Like all the others, this track in the album Whispers is an improvisation on the synthesizer. I intend to play music that relaxes and soothes.

Whisper 4

This track blends, with permission, Francesco Berta's "Missing" music (https://soundcloud.com/search?q=Francesco%20Berta%27s%20Missing) (Composed, recorded, and mastered by Francesco Berta. Piano, celesta, guitars, and programming: Francesco Berta; Cello: Aríanna Hönnudóttir)as a bed of sound under which Mario Savioni sings lyrics and vocals. Lyrics derive from a review Savioni wrote on paintings of Heather Wilcoxon, which depict boats immigrants take to cross oceans to escape danger (See: http://www.heatherwilcoxon.com/paintings-2014/).

The Moon Breathes

The Pitch of Winter

Paul-Maurice Roche's "Orch Piano" was playing on SoundCloud, and words came to me. I wrote them, sang, and recorded them with his music. I am grateful to him. I have his permission.

"Movement Through The Air" Collaboration with Paul-Maurice Roche

Nenad Jović composed and played "Guitar Dialogue(Guitar solo)(https://soundcloud.com/user-442202241/guitar-dialogue?si=810f0e65b292499bb34b43defa269f4d&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)," which struck me as beautiful. I love his soothing and soulful originals. I aligned a poem I had written with the tune and recorded it. Permission from him to make it public here was granted. Jović's music can be found at:  soundcloud.com/user-442202241. He is a brilliant guitarist and composer. Thank you for listening!

"The Weeping Meadow" Collaboration with Neno J.

Paul-Maurice Roche's "Opus 9: Incantation" played, and words came to mind. I wrote them, sang them, and recorded them.

My Whole Heart -- Collaboration with Paul-Maurice Roche

In collaboration with Nenad Jović, who provided a musical piece, called "Labyrinth of Desires," I laid my lyrics and vocals on top. The words came to me as I was listening to his guitar instrumental.

Jović's music can be found at @user-442202241. He is a brilliant guitarist and composer. Thank you for listening!

Everything Comes to An End - Collaboration with Nenad Jović

I forgot the birthday of a significant musician, and I improvised this piece in appeasement. Maybe I should have stopped while I was ahead. (I also gave him a book on how to cook with vegetables. I know he will like that.)

Turns out I missed the musician. So, I gave the book to a Prince with a heart condition.

Forgotten Birthday

I was listening to Classical Glass's "Tristesse in F minor," and words came to me. They are laid over Classical Glass's gorgeous piano playing and composition here.

Twirl But Do Not Touch

I listened to Gurdjieff and Hartmann's composition, and words came to me. This is the piece called The Secrets are Unveiled over the bed of sound: "Persian Song (violin/piano)." I hope you enjoy it.

SECRETS UNVEILED

Second improvised recording of the on-going series of piano works known as "Taxonomy of Sound."

Upon hearing Mike Zazarev's piano instrumental "All I've Said" here on SoundCloud (https://soundcloud.com/modernarecords/mike-lazarev-all-ive-said), I was inspired to write lyrics for it. I recorded the piece and got his permission to post it here. It is my first song-writing and singing experience. - Mario Savioni

Thank you Mike!

Blackness Of The Sky - Music: Mike Zazarev and Lyrics and Vocals: Mario Savioni

This track is a collaboration between Ashot Danielyan, who wrote the music and Mario Savioni, who wrote the lyrics and sang. As I was listening to Ashot's cut, words came to me. I wrote them down and recorded myself singing over the music over and over again until, I believe I had something to share. Thank you Ashot! Thank you all for listening! - Mario Savioni

"Venthrapus" Ashot Danielyan (music) and Mario Savioni (lyrics and vocals)

I improvised this early this morning while sitting on my sofa. I was half-asleep but just let it come to me. I try to trust the mood and attempt. I love the slowest, least complicated music. I believe that the best music is a series of dots in space that are perfectly placed and that we can measure the success of each dot. It is in our hearts and souls to know perfection. It is so hard to wait and not rush to fill the air with sound. I am unemployed. Is this considered work? Is this something I should pursue as a job? Or am I a hack? Is my music just a joke? Is it a toy story?  Am I John Cage on a Toy Piano or some contemporary among the hoards?

This is a song, where I was inspired to write lyrics over Ashot Danielyan's music otherwise titled "Dark Sorrow." We have collaborated on other songs, which have similarly inspired me. I am a great fan of his. Anyway, as soon as I heard the song, words came to me and I wrote them down, practiced them with the melody, and eventually yesterday morning I woke and recorded the piece in bed. I hope you like it. Let us know what you think. - Mario Savioni

Sorrowful - Music: Ashot Danielyan, Lyrics and Vocals: Mario Savioni

This is a piano solo I just improvised and recorded. It is dedicated to Holly Cooper.
