ANNA

A rainy-day-melancholy sort of piano piece.

Many thanks go to David Dunham for mastering my track. You can hear his beautiful guitar music @david-dunhamuser589535203

Waiting at my Window

Lately I started trusting my intuition and exploring the symbols around me. I came to the conclusion, that if I had looked at the symbolism of things (animals, signs, plants...) more often in my life, I might have avoided some difficult relationships and demanding times. When I wrote this song I had to think of an old, dusty attic full of old books, candles and bottles with little ships inside...

Thanks to: Jordy Meow for the great foto taken in Japan (no, surprisingly it is not made with Photoshop) and to Adam Richard Tucker (@adam-tucker-composer) for the motivating first feedback on the song arrangement.

New YouTube movie, I Could Have Lived Differently: https://youtu.be/CUDObEgZ4Do

Soundcloud took this track down twice accidentally because of copyright claims, but we had permission from the label..
This is a string collab with @rooydadofficial https://www.instagram.com/rooydad/

''I could have lived differently" describes the discrepancy between society's expectations and individual dreams and desires. Deep, clean sounds of the cello form the basis for an emotional and building violin melody creating a harmonious, cinematic string composition full of hope, that is characterized by Middle Eastern/Asian influences. I play acoustic violin here and also added cello lines.

The story behind it:
‘In my life, I was always at a crossroads. Between interests and pursuing my dreams and what society and family wants me to do. I could have lived differently. It is about the story of all the people who decide not to be like everyone else in the world. They have the courage to live differently the way they want to live. This is for those who say I will live differently if I go back in time. They go to their dreams without fear; however, Modern life and the world community make all people a completely identical  version and do not respect the different talents of individuals.’

I Could Have Lived Differently

"Sonder" Definition — noun. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own — populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness — an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you'll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk. (via the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows)

Sonder

Inspired by the painting "Refuge" by the American realist painter Andrew Wyeth (1917-2009).

Refuge

Love and Friendship
BY EMILY BRONTË
Love is like the wild rose-briar,
Friendship like the holly-tree—
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly?

The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild-briar fair?

Then scorn the silly rose-wreath now
And deck thee with the holly’s sheen,
That when December blights thy brow
He still may leave thy garland green.

Love and Friendship. Oddrun Eikli and Debra Buesking

For my friend and tutor, Liz Dicker, whose miraculous compositions, note perfect performances and friendship, inspire me

Nocturnes Op. 1 No. 4

Relatively compliant with Johann’s score (so far as you know)….poetic licence (ie a coach and horses) appear to have been driven through certain measures (and to a lesser extent, dynamic range notation), in response to which I rely upon, by way of mitigation, the excuse that Rubato made me do it(rhythmic shaping and/or contortion of tempo within the otherwise static/prescriptive confines of selectively iterated measures). Can roses grow, from the ashes of my Rubato sins? Read on.

Part II (not yet posted) will comprise variations on this same piece. Fasten your seatbelt. Estimated completion date 20 July 2023.

I heard variations singing in my mind, when rubato ran amok. Hopefully it will all make sense when the variations are complete, though in all likelihood, it will not (make sense).

Inspired by a miraculous performance of JS Bach by French composer pianist and flautist Douvin. Your time is better spent hearing Douvin's piece, which is here, the work of a true master. J'adore Douvin. Everything he does is breathtakingly beautiful.
