I'm here to share and appreciate all genres of music.  Most of what I am currently recording is electronic, and largely ambient, in nature; however, I have recently started recording cover songs of various tunes.  So, since I'm no longer strictly ambient (only mostly), I've changed my SoundCloud name to Smooth Waters Sonic Journeys.  Headphones greatly enhance the listening experience.  Thank you for listening.

Neoclassical Contemporary Crossover Composer  / Piano Artist

Farquhar's solo piano music without words, evokes a minimalist emotional-world, yet in other ways neutral, melancholic, and desirable. A soundscape full of blurry images of the past; of long forgotten memories and characters from a yesteryear; of times gone by and ever-looping addictive piano phrasing, of beautiful melodies from far-away-destinations, far-away-waters, far-away-skies, far-away-landscapes. 

Born in Northern England, he spent years studying piano, developing a minimalist, modern classical repertoire. He is a highly creative piano artist with a distinct flair in the neoclassical minimalist genre stratosphere.

Farquhar’s music has a distinct modern compositional style that reveals an impressionistic, almost ‘Chopinesque’ feel to it. Deeply melodic soft and muted sounds of the ambient piano, mixes with the noises of the felt across hammers. He is at one with the piano which brings him closer to his compositional ideas.

The instrument enables his creative flair to be realised and expressed. The piano is at the heartland of his expressive and creative flair. The piano allows him to delve fully into the neoclassical genre (also known as ‘indie classical’) that allows him to go to the lower or higher reaches in flashes or one moment.

Martin Stürtzer is a producer and live performer of Ambient, Dub Techno and Dark Ambient music from Wuppertal (Germany).
