Darkest Before Dawn

This one is about a butterfly for a girl not available, as it turned out. Would want that feeling to stay, but the butterfly has gotta go. Its a busy one though; already had been going up and down starting to make the heart into a bloody home. And its a hard one to catch! There is that feeling of melancholy again. Just let go! And the butterfly leaves... 

It was good fun composing and dramatizing this piece. Especially that butterfly, I'm sure you can hear it. Been chasing it for hours :) The techiques on one part of it, I just started doing improvising once and was used in Arabesque too, but in phygian mode. In this piece its worked out more and it consists of both chords, an arpeggio and a glissando with the left pinky on black keys.

Fools Rush In  (13)

Hi, I'm a keys player and I like making up grooves to existing jazz and latin standards. Over the last few years I've been mainly working on original numbers.

It's just me in the music you hear, I play all the parts off a keyboard recording in midi and layer up into the finished version.

I started playing the piano as a kid , then took up the trombone and played for fun in various local amateur bands and orchestras. Then at 18 went to college and didn't do anything  musically  for many years. Started playing the saxophone and tuba more recently, and in the last four years or so got back into the keyboard which is now my main instrument.

I like making up jazzy  late night music & music you can listen to when travelling. Sounds like a strange thing but I find the most enjoyable part of a holiday is the travelling part, whether that's on a plane , train or even a car on a quiet road with some nice views. Looking through a window with a changing view, in a bubble of suspended time between two worlds, that's what travelling feels like to me, and I like to write music that sounds that way - http://soundcloud.com/markd54321/361-stolen-moments-320kbps . Can't really explain it any better than that for now. Cheers Mark
