This period of our life is full of shadows and lights (like those of this beautiful day) and certainly of hope. The link between my mind and music is very strong and for this reason I decided to make this playlist with some compositions of my friends, artists and composers of Soundcloud. It was very nice to listen to their thoughts through their musical sensitivity.
Have a good listening !!

Shadows, lights and hopes

Each year there is a celebration for Piano Day. It falls on the 88th day of each year. In case you don't know the significance of the number 88, it's the amount of keys on a piano keyboard. I have had a love affair, over the past 3 years, with recording real pianos, so once again, I pulled of the front & top panels of an old "Beale" upright, positioned Royer 121 ribbon mics left & right & then set a Nuemann U87 directly in the middle above the hammers. Then I rolled the tape & just improvised this tune. Many people have been feeling meaningless, due to the Covid 19 restrictions & how it has changed our lives. Isolation, lack of socialisation, fear for the future & so on. This tune was born from these initial feelings, but has an optimistic ring to it. Enjoy.

Lyrics 
Something is missing 
Something I need
Oh you the missing puzzle piece

Just like a jigsaw
You belong to me
And just like a jigsaw
You complete me

Only one shape
Of my heart
Oh you the missing puzzle piece

Chorus

You’re my jigsaw...

JIGSAW

Let There Be Light

Just another little story I wanted to share with you :)

Just a piano story

The rain in Macondo (from "Buendiana")

I wanted to make a sotto voce piece. 'Wo De Guyuan' has a massive synth pad I made to help bolster the string orchestra sound in an organic way. The FM8 patch is a sine wave with delay. It narrates evolving memories from the past.

Special release for Piano Day 2020.

"Run" celebrate piano day with Felt piano, I choose the Una Corda to create this ambience.

The structure of Malakosha is based on a repetitive textile weave which, on each repetition, is proportionally augmented until it is 24 measures long. Melodic patterns and change within these patterns also follow the structure of the weaving pattern. The work takes its title from the pentatonic Indian raga on which the harmony and tonal range of the music is based. Each section expands by adding more notes to the repetitive melodic patterns. Over the course of the work the role of the "noisy patterns" develops: initially they are in the background and then gradually become part of a louder soundscape with the live instruments.

Performed by Royal Northern Sinfonia, conducted by James Weeks at  CoMA Festival of Contemporary Music for All on 6 March, 2020 at Sage Gateshead, Newcastle, UK.

Recorded by BBC Radio 3:

The work was commissioned by the international contemporary music festival ARS MUSICA (Belgium) and premiered by ENSEMBLE 21, conducted by Marc Collect on 29 November, Brussels.

OLIVER PAPKE & COLIN POWELL - DREAMWORLD

I still don't believe in Evil.
I believe in Love.
But...

Pure Love

I`ve always liked to walk late at night while the city sleeps,I like the quietness.But as time goes by,weeks,months,while navigating through these Rivers of Stone,a voice appears in my head,quietly at first,but encreasing in loudness as time goes by,to the point it becames unbearably loud and I cant ignore it anymore.The natural sounds of this sintetic forest gets too much for me.The voices scream "Natura",nature in latin,its nature calling me..I need music as old as the planet,music billions of years in the making,ever changing,sung by the wind and the trees,by the ocean and the birds by the storms and the critters that all seem to sing for me...the perfect orchestra...the perfect symphony.
A special thank you to Tomade for giving me motivation to write for piano again,hes a talented musician well deserved your time,I love his song Six Feet Under.
Also to Ray,the amazing photographer I work with,visiting his site and checking his work,will brighten your day,without a doubt https://www.raybilcliff.uk/

Rivers Of Stone

Hope

Il mare is a composition for piano written by Cristina S. my great friend! I play her composition with pleasure! I hope you liked it.

Il Mare

Music, lyrics and vocals by Irina

Even in Russian this title can be interpreted differently, to say nothing of the English translation. But this is what we like - freedom of imagination :) Hope you enjoy the song.

От твоего взгляда веет холодом
Осталась я одна с простывшим городом
Век живи и век учись
Тупость требуют на бис
Но ведь мне было так приятно верить

Снова ты и снова кризис
Как страдает мой душевный бизнес
Сердце просит выходной
Возвращается домой
Тихо замедляю темп
Не танцую я контемп
За собой дверь затворю
Ухожу пока тебя люблю

Пропущу звонки и сообщения
Как же я устала от общения
Пожар бушует в голове
Сжигаю мысли о тебе
А ведь мне было так приятно верить

Снова ты и снова кризис
Как страдает мой душевный бизнес
Сердце просит выходной
Возвращается домой
Тихо замедляю темп
Не танцую я контемп
За собой дверь затворю
Ухожу пока тебя люблю

Интересней пообщаться со стеной
Чем пустые темы обсуждать с тобой
Оставляя политес
Ликвидирую абсцесс
Надоело придумывать happy end-ы

Снова ты и снова кризис
Как страдает мой душевный бизнес
Сердце просит выходной
Возвращается домой
Тихо замедляю темп
Не танцую я контемп
За собой дверь затворю
Ухожу пока тебя люблю

--------------------------------

I feel the coldness of your glance
Left alone with the cold city
The longer you live the more you know
Stupidity is being called for an encore
But it was such a pleasure to believe

You again - a crisis again
Oh, how the business of my soul suffers
The heart is asking for a holiday
It is coming back home
Quietly I slow down the tempo
I do not dance contemporary
Will close the door behind me
I am leaving while still loving you

I will miss calls and messages
How tired I am of communication
Fire roaring in my head
I am burning the thoughts of you
I took so much pleasure from believing

You again - a crisis again
Oh, how the business of my soul suffers
The heart is asking for a holiday
It is coming back home
Quietly I slow down the tempo
I do not dance contemporary
Will close the door behind me
I am leaving while still loving you

It is more interesting to talk to a wall
Than to discuss empty topics with you
Leaving politesse behind
I remove the abscess
Tired of making up happy endings

You again - a crisis again
Oh, how the business of my soul suffers
The heart is asking for a holiday
It is coming back home
Quietly I slow down the tempo
I do not dance contemporary
Will close the door behind me
I am leaving while still loving you

It's been almost three months since "Abracadabra!" was released. I've been busy with some other projects since then, mainly recording and composing for clients. However, given how well "Abracadabra!" was received... we started working on the "sequel" :) 

Meanwhile, here is the title track that gave the name to the album. 

I want to thank again everyone who was a part of this project:
- Phil DiMercurio (aka PdubJamz) for his drums and percussion truly transformed the album.
- Yamaha Artist Yoed Nir for the wondrous cello.
- Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Alexa Ray for the amazing vocals.
- Producer of several Grammy-nominated artists, Matthew Shell, who supervised mixing & mastering of "Abracadabra!", Erik Fredriksen for mixing and Steven Vagovics for mastering.
- Anastasia Frenkel for drawing such amazing artworks for each track! Vibrant, mystical, haunting, surreal - just like we envisioned this album to be.

And, of course, I'd like to thank my husband who was behind the whole production of the album and the upcoming music video.
