Liz Dicker once again gave me the honor of recording one of my pieces for piano, this time Bagatelle No.5. A real recording is something completely different than a computer-generated piece, especially when it is played with as much heart and feeling as Liz does. Thank you so much, Liz!

Bagatelle für Klavier No 5 (performed by Elisabeth Dicker)

An exploration of the Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda  moments of growing up -  all the moments of choice and circumstance that defined us, isolated us, made us angry and caused us to be misunderstood. Does who we were define who we will be?  
Shyling is the word Keith used to explore the young person trapped by insecurity and fear. Despite lurking on the fringes of life  through the rebelliousness of our teen and younger adult years, there is always the hope of a page being turned in the book. "Keep on shining," despite of, or because, of who we were and who we are now. The book of life is certainly a more interesting read because of our struggles. Perhaps we just need to reconcile with our past, talk to your younger self, give him/her a hug, tell him/her that you understand their struggles and there is no blame assigned. Then turn that page and live in the now.

Lyrics:

Shy-ling
So I’ve finally got to meet ya…my old friend
Haven’t seen you since our school days end
If ya don’t mind me saying…ya looking old
Been once or twice around the block I’m told
Got some words of wisdom, for you alone
Listen real close and take it home
Shining, shining….you were once shining (x2)
Ya shoulda treat them better…you know ya should
Ya shoulda treat them better, because they were your blood
Don’t stop, never stop, never give up
This is your trial, and it’s your own damn neck
Trying, trying… never stop trying (x2)
Every man has two wolves…a wolf deep inside
Which wolf do you feed? Which wolf do you starve?
Oh to you of dull wit, have you just been asleep?
Ya could have done better, but you sold yourself cheep
Life made you harder, but life broke your back
Surrender your future so you’ll never look back
(INST)
Jumped up, litter bug, you just don’t care
Who you rip up, or who you do tear
Don’t stop never stop, never give up
Good at being bad and bad at being good
Shy-ling, shy-ling… never stop shining (x2)
Never stop…

En Surface

Cup and ring marks were created in the neolithic and early bronze age. I photographed these in Kilmartin Glen. No one knows what they mean, but there are many theories. They are often in places with inspiring views and on rocks previousy marked with naturally created, linear grooves (for example, glacial scoring). I like the idea that they were created as markers in camping grounds where groups could meet for trade, romance and ceremony... like a prehistoric Glastonbury!

Cup And Ring

Dear friends, spring is a wonderful time, not only for people but also for animals. We have a tradition in Sweden where you let the cows out in the meadows and it's a big spectacle and lots of people come there to watch the cows' adventures! We call it ”ko-släpp” (maybe cow-release in English). WOW!

A Lovely Day in Spring

This is a lovely day in spring
the people get undressed
they are waiting for the summer this year
but patient they must be
all the boys and the girls are preparing themselves
to meet summertime every year that comes

It is a lovely spectacle
when they let all the cows out
all the cows are jumping up and down on the grass
and probably they smile
all the cowboys and the cowgirls are preparing themselves
to meet summertime every year that comes

The old man put on his summer cap
and his wife does the same
he has a bald spot on the top of his head
and his wife has a delicate nose
all the oldboys and the oldgirls are preparing themselves
to meet summertime every year that comes

Early One Morning

Headed home after a wonderful trip to Florence in Italy. This piece reflects my current mood. I met a lot of new people and I took a lot of photos. This music is a spontaneous improvisation. Recorded at my personal recording studio at home. Please enjoy.

"Pascal Sardi-Antasan - pianiste et compositeur français, mêle les genres du néoclassique, du romantisme dans sa musique émotionnelle et cinématographique. 
Inspiré par sa formation classique et une culture musicale éclectique, il laisse libre cours à son intuition pour créer des compositions touchantes et  modernes"
