Unrequited love portrayed by ethereal voices.

Voices

"Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters."  
  And from that place let the mysteries and nuances of The Deep 
  be revealed 
  to all who seek... but do not covet.

  Yes, Dare to Ask...
  but only for Wisdom and Understanding,
  for 'Knowlege about' is empty of actual experience and meaning.

Indeed... the Timeless Mysteries of Sound, Light, and Being 
call out our primaeval inner natures 
and beckon us to draw near...
to discern, and to intuit... 
and perhaps, 
to begin to comprehend the Cosmic Simplicity
which pervades the Whole. 

Let us not Be overly concerned 'to Possess', 
but rather...  
to be a Channel
a point through which Creation's intelligence
can flow into this small yet beautiful world.

For is it not enough, brothers and sisters,
that this wondrous Universe not only gifts us Life, 
but also offers us the opportunity to Co-Create? 

I say, Yes!
In-deed!  :)
                              

                ----------------------------------

This Music seeks to do the impossible,
to describe the indescribable Awe and Wonder of this Timeless Procession of Becoming ...

May it Celebrate the Mysteries of Life itSelf.

Mysteres et Nuance

Many thanks to my 10 year old son who helped me with the technical issues.

Walk with Marimba

This piano piece was originally intended to be played a lot faster. I then decided to play it calmly.
Thanks a lot for listening!

Sudden Inspiration

Thank you Andreas for your interpretation of my composition!

Following Playfully

From my youth I always wanted to compose something in this style. It's time to finally try :) Music, lyrics and performance - Nadir Shamuhamedov. Special thanks to Jane Johnson for proofreading the text.

I hope, one day, in the blooming May
I'll bring a ring and you'll say "Ok",
My heart will be filled with peace and light,
And flying bees will buzz gently "Right!"

Daisy!
My love made me almost crazy,
Don't let me think so hazy,
Now, oh my love,
Just tell me: "Yes I do…"
You and I
As tea and pie,  
I know, you love me too…

Even if it comes later
Maybe in a year or two,
Spring anyway
Will come and play,
Knowing  what tricks to do.

«Daisy» (in the style of the early Beatles)

200 years since the Greek revolution against Ottomans

Perpetual aggressions targeting innocent men women and children for the establishment of soul-less crony Capitalism. Causing shattered bone fragments, gaping wounds, exposed internal organs, gasping, moaning and crying children. [Nothing to see here]

Empire Collapse

Peacefully reflective inspiring hope and deep admiration.

This performance is played live by Wesley. Here is my original version of this theme: https://soundcloud.com/mariza_costa-cabral/pasdedeux-marizacabral

Variation by Wesley Curry II on a theme by Mariza Costa-Cabral, titled "Pas de Deux".

I am a scientist who started composing music as a hobby in 2013. I have not studied composition and do not approach it analytically, only intuitively. I took piano lessons in my childhood and teens, but spent most of my adult life without playing piano until 2013. So far I have composed mostly for piano, in a polyphonic style that borrows from the Baroque as well as the Romantic spirit. I describe my style as "Baroquemantic". 

Most of my piano pieces are easy to play.  Some are very easy to play.  

All of my pieces rely on 2 or more concurrent melodies (counterpoint).

A Portuguese guy called "Carlos Miguel" wrote the following on YouTube and  I think this is so so so so true! I will be quoting him everywhere I can:
"...a boa música é como as boas palavras, depende de quem as diz e de quem as ouve...podem não vir a ser nada e podem ser tudo...ou ambas as situações em simultâneo...genial também é quem ouve...pelo seu modo de ouvir... e não só quem  compõe...pelo seu modo de compor...Carlos Miguel"

Freely translated from Carlos Miguel: "...Good music is like good words... it depends on who utters and who listens... it can be nothing or it can be everything... or both simultaneously... for there to be a work of genius there needs to be a genius listener as well as a genius composer..."
