A real dreamy quality with the guitar...lovely!

@ed-c-mossop: Thank from us both, Ed. I enjoyed playing over Milana..but she's so well known that this ended up with 1100 plays..I was terrified!! :)

beyond words ... everybody is able to understand ....

you have got such a super determined tone

This playlist is a collection of all the remixes of my piano improvisation that is based on Arty's motif:

https://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/moonlight-stroll-milana

We decided to offer it for you to remix, arrange or orchestrate. You may download the track above or download the following archive:

http://www.milana.ws/audio/milana_moonlight_stroll.zip (54Mb)

that includes both this version and quantized version (90bpm) with both WAV and MIDI files.

Use your imagination :) You shouldn't follow the original piano as-is but as well can cut parts of the MIDI, leaving some connection to the original, e.g. by incorporating the same motif.

At the end I will choose the most unique and intriguing arrangements and send them to my publisher for commercial licensing - of course, upon mutual agreement about the split with the arranger :)

Moonlight Stroll - Milana - on iTunes, Spotify - Open Collaboration!

I met https://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik here on sound cloud. She posted a song called Moonlight Stroll for an open collab. Here is the link to that song. https://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/moonlight-stroll-milana 
So I took my chances and made an orchestral mix for her piano. I hope you are going to enjoy it as much as we do! 

Moonlight Stroll

Moonlight Stroll - Milana (feat. Koen Janssen) Orchestral Mix

This is my orchestral setting of an original improvisation by the wonderful pianist / composer Milana Zilnik. She is making this available to all composers who might be interested in adding instrumental backing to her original piano mix for possible use on her next album. More info on this project, as well as the original piano track can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/moonlight-stroll-milana

Moonlight Stroll - Featuring Milana Zilnik

Milana - like so many others, I find your piano incredible and found this opportunity too good to resist. Some gentle guitar and some warm synth sounds, but to be honest, it was all there already. Good luck. Nick

Milana - Midnight Stroll, Featuring Nick R Davies

I put some colour into Milana´s and Arty´s improv,,, it´s an open collab.  and I´m all into those at the moment.  This one was a bit hard cause of the rhythmic changes and also the relation between chords a bit, especially when Milana went flying somewhere :)...  but it was fun. Hope you like it.

Smoke & Mirrors

August 2025 Currently on residency in Italy ! 
These are 3 short sketches using field recordings captured around Montegiovi, Tuscany. With these little works I am experimenting freely with what can be produced from each days sounds -  manipulating them and stiching them back together with the aim of producing a long format work at the end of the residency. 
I am truly thankful for this opportunity that has been provided for me by the Salamanca Arts Centre in Tasmania and Cultivate Projects/La Baldi residency in Italy and The USA. 
And of course the wonderful people of Montegiovi ! 

Tuscany Experiments 1 - 3

SETTLED SCORES NO 3

Way overdue for something new but I've been living in exile without the usual, albeit modest, setup I'm used to. So this might be pretty rough. And it's full of the usual horror at political realities and way full of schmaltzy velveeta. 

Guitarist note:  I don't have amps at present and was struggling to find a decent direct sound. There is a *free* VST plugin by Neural Amp DSP and online libraries of tone prints, also free, that came to the rescue. Highly recommended.

it's alright for you as long as it's alright
you don't mind what they do in the broad daylight

it never could be you

but you don't see the way you're blinded
they'll never drag you down to the places meant for those

do you feel the color of your soul
when you live with love suspended hiding in a hole
the moment is yours but you don't believe 
you won't believe what lies there ripening 
growing in your mind without you knowing

now it could be you

and as you feel the weight of the binding
you know they're dragging you down to the places meant for those

to liberate the light of every heart and mind
you can say it never paying any price

there's a little part of everyone that knows 
we're only playing separate lives 
till true faith arrives

if there's every gonna be a change 
let it start right here

you know it could be you

It Could Be You

Et voilà, il est là ! 
🕊️ Envol — par Lena Normane

🌒 Longtemps restées dans l’ombre, ces chansons ont attendu leur heure. 
📓 Des mélodies écrites sur les coins d’un cahier, des mots griffonnés dans une chambre d’adolescente, des émotions retenues qui aujourd’hui s’échappent. 
✨ "Envol" n’est pas une fuite — c’est un dévoilement.

🎶 Ce premier EP est celui d’une femme sensible, passionnée, qui a gardé ses secrets en musique. 
💔 Chaque titre est un fragment de mémoire, un battement de cœur, un appel discret à ceux qui aiment les mots qui vibrent.

🦋 Des amours fragiles, des rêves qu’on n’a jamais osé abandonner — Lena Normane libère enfin ses chansons comme on libère des papillons dans la nuit.

🌬️ "Envol" : c’est ce moment où l’on ose. Et où l’on espère être entendu.

🕊️ Envol — by Lena Normane

🌒 Long hidden in the shadows, these songs have waited for their moment. 📓 Melodies scribbled in the margins of a notebook, words jotted down in a teenage bedroom, emotions once held back now breaking free. ✨ Envol is not an escape — it’s a revelation.

🎶 This debut EP belongs to a woman who is sensitive, passionate, and who has kept her secrets in music. 💔 Each track is a fragment of memory, a heartbeat, a quiet call to those who love words that resonate.

🦋 Fragile loves, dreams we never dared to let go — Lena Normane finally releases her songs like butterflies set free into the night.

🌬️ Envol: it’s that moment when you dare. And when you hope to be heard.<qq<z

This is what I did.
Fast asleep now
Time was our only enemy 
Be good
Nick

Playing piano since I was four and studied in a musical school for ten years. Though, I always felt that playing by notes and singing in a choir is not enough to become a musician. I needed to be able to play anything I want by ear so, by starting improvising, I've found my own style of playing. When I teach children to play piano or sing, I offer them improvisation right from the beginning. I wish I was taught that way, since until my mid-30s I had hard times to relax and believe in my ability to create my own music. Twelve years ago my husband (@arty-sandler) finally convinced me to record some of my improvisations and we opened this account on SoundCloud - it happened in July, 2012.

You won't find a single particular genre on my cloud: my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Jazz and soft rock are my favorites but I also play blues, classical, folk, middle-eastern, New Age, ambient and others. Piano and vocal are my main instruments but together with my husband we also experiment a lot with different arrangements and orchestrations. 

When we started uploading our music to SoundCloud back in 2012, it was first shy attempts to record my improvisations straight from a keyboard. Many things have evolved since then. Over the years we've grown into a professional recording and composing studio, with a conservatory grand piano in an acoustically treated room and a bunch of microphones and other recording equipment. We scored a few documentaries, short films and animations. This year my orchestral and piano solo works were performed by Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for Bryan Arias’s ballet show based on “The Little Prince” story. We've published three books with my original scores for solo piano and released twenty original full-length albums (solo piano, multi-instrumental and original songs in various genres) and numerous singles that have been streamed over 70 million times across multiple platforms.

I am glad you stepped by into my musical world and appreciate your comments and following me.
