Flightfall

I'm very excited to finally share with you my final project I wrote in my Master’s degree in Berklee.
This piece is an adaptation of a short story by the Israeli Author - Etgar Keret, from his latest book "Fly Already".
It was an incredible and fascinating journey, exploring the story in depth, and challenging myself musically and narratively.

The Next-to-Last Time I Was Shot Out of a Cannon - Recorded at AIR Studios

Remember

I know there to sail your heart must be true
And that the ocean is a mirror, listening in blue
I'm alone now as the branches, as faint now as the leaves
The aeroplane is a dream and the pilot is me

We are running north and south
The world's a window, I'm looking out
And the trees now are only trees
The wind is just wind, the sea the sea

Of the moon, I can say it's round
Of song, I can say it's sound
On the land, my heart is silent
But over sea I hear it pound
And I know that this is the circle now of my days
But I will hover over oceans for generations
Until I fade

We are running north and south
The world's a window, I'm looking out
And the trees now are only trees
The wind is just wind, the sea the sea

We are running north and south
The world's a window; I'm climbing out

Running North and South

Journey Track II

First piece I created only using MIDI / electronic sounds. I usually always write in a piece of staff paper or in Sibelius - a notation software. But I decided to challenge myself and create a piece only where I use my piano skills and the technological tools I had available. 

I wanted to be a piece open for interpretation. Would love to read what you imagined when listening to this piece. 

I hope you enjoy.
