A positive gentle romp along the trail. Very easy piece to produce using available Garage Band instrumentation.

Lafayette Reservoir Rim Trail by Day

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

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

Like sitting in an orchard. Bright, sunny day. Fresh apples. A famous man sits at the piano in the middle of the orchard and begins playing something you've never heard before. You cannot predict the next note but it seems to follow an agreeable flow. There is grace and eloquence. You are made to rest. All your problems seem to be floating away. It reminds you of childhood and your mother's music box. It alludes to both the solo works of Satie and Chopin, but also to bigger works. It can be played alone or with an orchestra. Thank you for listening. - Mario Savioni

Upon hearing Stein Thor’s piano instrumental "Hello Darkness (x)" here on SoundCloud (https://soundcloud.com/steinithor/hello-darkness), I was inspired to write lyrics for it. I recorded the piece (my lyrics and vocals over his bed of sound) on March 17, 2020 and got his permission to post it here. It is my second song-writing and singing experience. Let us know what you think. - Mario Savioni

Thank you Stein!

April 21, 2020 Improvised Piano by 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

'The intent is to unify with intent to do good, not to be divisive and do harm. Let's celebrate each other.

Spread Freedom
Linked to sorrow
Nightingale mourns
The moon’s a sparkler
In the sky
Somber moments
Chill the air
Fortune stirs the 
Cleverest among us.
We partake of 
the gentle season’s smile.

In the night, 
We stare into 
Each other’s eyes.
I travel with you through the trees.
Into the snow, our shoes sink
To curb our progress,
But angels are due
To sit with us, 
In the clean air
Angels are due to survey 
The state of affairs
We know where we stand.
We stand together:
Facing the truth
Facing the sky
Facing the sun
Facing each other,
And knowing the way.

We are in unison.
We are true friends.
We are friends, indeed.
The long-awaited attendance
To our needs.
We are free
We are free
Free to be. - Mario Savioni

Spread Freedom

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

Lake Merritt

This track is a culmination of strings and piano I improvised. Hopefully, it is as magical as Jennifer Mensink to whom it is dedicated.

After the Rain

I am an artist, who writes, photographs, paints, and composes music.
