Random moody playlist

Killing time in the train, I wrote this piece on a journey using musescore.... the first time I started a composition with a score and not in front of the piano... However the final composition required some real piano sessions after all ;-)

Dirk Maassen - Un Voyage.... pls. support and share my music on spotify :)

Soundtrack of the 1993 film The Piano, composed by Michael Nyman.

Live video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?ny8-EtKWiKE

This theme is reprised several times, called The Heart Asks Pleasure First/The Promise/The Sacrifice. It is based on a traditional Scottish tune titled "Gloomy Winter's Noo Awa".

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2, using a sampled Yamaha C7 grand piano, and one single note of sampled strings.

Note: replaced with a better take on June 3, 2014

Michael Nyman - Theme from The Piano

Alexandre Desplat - River

This is my submission for the TPC Four Chord Challenge 2014. Piano Cloud members were asked  to compose a new piece of music using only the chords G minor, D minor, Eb major and F major (in that order). It´s my first try to record and mix the sound of my stage piano, I hope you´ll like it.

Tired (Video in description)

This piece has been donated to a Hibernate Recordings benefit compilation, titled "Dayalu / for Nepal" to raise money for the victims of the earthquake disaster in Nepal. This very first official HC release is appearing alongside my all-time favorite artists, such as Machinefabriek, Clem Leek, Autistici, Field Rotation, Isnaj Dui, Antonymes, Olan Mill and many others, so I couldn't be more happier to contribute to this wonderful cause. 

I hope that you support this compilation (digital + 2xCD edition), and of course, dig my humble composition. Pre-order your copy at the below link, with many more musicians to be announced soon!!!
