Description: An improvisation resulting from the reading of the myth of Gilgamesh: a legend built by human beings 3500 years before Christ that teaches us how brilliant the human mind was at that time ... as opposed to how it is sometimes now ...

your expressiveness is amazing on this piece a pleasure to listen to

Wow, your fingers are so incredibly fast! Really great playing!

Gilgamesh is among my favorites... Nice work on the piece!

This is an absolutely gorgeous piano improvisation! Thank you very much for sharing!

Very intense, beautiful and important piece.

A simple chord progression I stumbled on gradually evolved into this piece.

Gilgamesh and the mirage of immortality

Extract from the Album "Mutations" for The Four Seasons, Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8, RV 297, L'inverno - Winter - III. Allegro

Neoclassical Version (Electro + Instruments + Percussions)

Here is a 3th excerpt from the 4 seasons of Vivaldi that I renamed "Mutations" because the music is in perpetual evolution. 
I also gave a name (in French - An artistic code that you will find easily) with each movement, it is a personal feeling only. I spent a lot of time in these almost 3 minutes, looking for the power of summer that ends. I hope I have not betrayed that unbelievable great Master whom I admire so much.

Memoria Cordis

This was a tune I posted briefly in the past but was not happy with it.  Just felt it needed something else.  That something else was violin, and with the help of the amazing Tatiana it now feels complete! @rosindust

They are widely recognized among the most beautiful music ever written for the soprano voice.

Beim Schlafengehen 

Nun der Tag mich [müd] gemacht,
Soll mein sehnliches Verlangen
Freundlich die gestirnte Nacht
Wie ein müdes Kind empfangen. 

Hände, laßt von allem Tun,
Stirn vergiß du alles Denken,
Alle meine Sinne nun
Wollen sich in Schlummer senken. 

Und die Seele unbewacht
Will in freien Flügen schweben,
Um im Zauberkreis der Nacht
Tief und tausendfach zu leben.

Authorship by Hermann Hesse (1877 - 1962), "Beim Schlafengehen", written 1911.

While going to sleep

Now that the day has made me so tired,
my dearest longings shall
be accepted kindly by the starry night
like a weary child.

Hands, cease your activity,
head, forget all of your thoughts;
all my senses now
will sink into slumber.

And my soul, unobserved,
will float about on untrammeled wings
in the enchanted circle of the night,
living a thousandfold more deeply.

Beim Schlafengehen (While Going to Sleep): The Four Last Songs, composed by Richard Strauss

A lovely bright thing on a stormy night
Entered into heaven which was not polite
"You came too soon" said the palace shade
"You flower and fruit and then you fade"

You fly too soon you fly too high
You know your life is standing by
Go work your clay and get ready for the way
Of stone and sky

Stone and sky

To be a lovely thing on slender wing
Or a horned god prowling for prey
In a thrashing fit to do the big fat "It"
While every way we go is pain

You wake to pain you wake to gray
And wonder how you came this way
You serpent bird - too low too high
For stone and sky

Stone and sky

(Too low, honey... Too high... Don't you know how to fly?)

A little bright light in a stormy sky
Scanning hell to heaven with the serpent's eye
And the bird's wing - "that's the only way
Bright young thing", said the shade

You crawl and fly you crawl and fly
You move according to the signs
You move it in the middle way
Of stone and sky

Stone and sky

Stone And Sky

Eirene is a queen of peace, diplomacy, and trade.
It is dismaying that we still cannot fulfill this ideal.
A Lamento for all who suffer from war, displacement and loss....
Peace for all people of the world.

I'm on SoundCloud from November 2015.
I'm just an amateur self taught pianist and composer, a lover of music and I'm glad to have discovered the planet SoundCloud and its interesting people.
Sometimes I compose something or I improvise a song , and if I like it i send it to SoundCloud to make it listen. I thank you for the time you want to devote to listen to my songs.
