As the saying goes: nothing ever ends well, otherwise it would not end. And yet large parts of us still wish things would not end, even after we convince ourselves it is for the best. Is it an act of grace to accept fate and slowly fade away without a fight, or does the universe want to test our resolve and see just how far we are willing to go to obtain, and more importantly perhaps to keep, the object of our desires? It is human not to know; it is human to exist in bewilderment regarding such matters. Being aware of this, however, never makes it any easier. Endings always bring an emptiness in a person's heart and soul. No one ever wants to fail, but sometimes we wait too long to really try in the right ways to truly succeed. The eleventh hour concession is always the hardest case to handle. It leaves one with many doubts. It leaves a person with the hope that things would be, could be, should be, better if only... In such cases the weather can be forever raining in one's heart. 

ALBUM INFO:

"The Idea Of You" is the first of a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may it help you on your journey, as it has us...

The Idea Of You Cover Art "The Idea Of You" is music inspired by the spirit of Eros and all of its blessings as well as its tribulations. It explores the vicissitudes of romantic love, the delicate seasons and contour of life, and all the lessons learned along the way. Themes of desire, passion, limerence, romantic love, idolatry, jealousy, envy, loss, regret, forgiveness, acknowledgment, appreciation, acceptance, and eventually glimpses of true understanding permeate the work. It attempts to communicate that which so many of us can never quite communicate properly with words. It is an open apology for the clumsy mistakes we all make when coming to maturity in learning how to care selflessly for another human being. It is a gentle reminder as to what is most important in life, as well as an invocation to continuously seek self-improvement regarding our understanding of such matters.

Note: replaced with a better take on June 3, 2014

Michael Nyman - Theme from The Piano

This is the final open collab for my next album "einklang" .

the track is at 100 bpm !

I am looking for any kind of MINIMAL and subtle electronic, ambient, strange, ethnik, duduk, grooves or whatever gives us the chills.... no lyrics, no vocals this time :)

First reason to join into this collab should be fun and passion for music and no guarantee that the track will make it on the album but if it makes it, we will share 50/50 in case the track will generate more than 100 € a year (which is hard enough :). Full credit is understood...

Have fun

Dirk

Dirk Maassen - Allewind (feat. Dirk Mallwitz & Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg)

Using a 4 note motif, I've created a hypnotic, but soothing repeated passage & then underplayed it with a constantly moving left hand accompaniment. This was a challenge by the group Piano Soundboard. To come up with a tune that featured a 4 note motif. Using my tried & tested composition formula, I just turned on the recorder & improvised this in a one pass process. I hope this brings you some peace in a very busy world?

Motif-ation

If you stop before the 9:00 mark, you're doing a grave disservice to yourself.  Just sayin' 

This is from an unreleased album of Chad Lawson's world trio.  Piano, upright bass & auxiliary percussion.  Every note of this release is completely improvised.  Nothing was planned.  The release date is not set as they are waiting for proper timing of release.
