Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever is the sixth installment in Jeff Kinney's hilarious Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Greg Heffley is in big trouble. School property has been damaged, and Greg is the prime suspect. But the crazy thing is, he's innocent! Or at least sort of. The authorities are closing in, but then a surprise blizzard hits and the Heffley family is trapped indoors. Greg knows that when the snow melts he will have to face the music. But could any punishment be worse than being stuck inside with your family?

Now officially released as singel track! And here's the Bandcamp link again:
http://fredrikpark.bandcamp.com/track/nocturne-no-1-the-longing-and-the-wonders-ambient-piano-version
also available at Amazon & iTunes etc.)

The solo piano version of this composition reached 100+ favs in just a few Weeks, Major exposure of that one, thanks to "the Piano Cloud". It's also some indication of the emotional, musical & mixing qualities I provide in my music & music production.
I will include the Solo Piano version on my first album, along with other original compositions of mine.


ABOUT THIS VERSION:
This is the synth pads combo version of my first ever accomplished combo of finished composition & HQ audio quality of recorded solo piano actually. 
It's also the first composition I'm using Soundiron's "Emotional Piano" on.

Full title would be "Nocturne #1" - The Longing and the Wonders, 
potentiallly with B flat minor as key reference.
It changes keys/scales, but B flat minor is the most used key for main motif.

Most of the notes are recorded live, using my MIDI keyboard, but there are lots of post-editing, both for the composition and for the note tweaks. Velocity, timing and additional notes.

Appologies to all who prefer untampered live performances. 
Originally recorded using East West Quantum Leap - Pianos Gold (Bechstein grand), but I decided to use "Emotional Piano" piano software library from Soundiron by now.

I had to adjust a lot to make it sound the way it was intended, also for the different sample sets with the new software library.
But it was much easier to shape the dynamic phrases to sound natural, compared to EWQL Pianos anyway, IMO. So it was well worth the additional hassle.

I still use the EWQL Bechstein grand in my Charity for the Philippines project.
The Bechstein is still one of my very favourite grands.

The later part for this composition was based on a live improvisation I did, while the first sections were composed through painstaking trial and error, based on hand positionings, chord progressions & melodic flow through the key changes.


A good deal of the arpeggio techniques is inspired by Rachmaninov, my favourite piano composer (due to the deep adoration I have for the musical and emotional qualities, much more than the famous technical aspects of his)

Other inspirations for this composition were the feeling of a strong connection with nature; 
and (hopefully, eek) -an even stronger connection with my beloved wife.

The repeated main motif, with it's chord progression and melody combo was something I came up years ago.
Musically speaking, I aimed for something that would sound very emotionally connecting, yet not so similar to anything I've heard before. So that was a big challenge and a lot of hard work for it back then, trying to achieve both aims at the same time.

This track version might have a few addtions, but might be a final mix by now.

In case you still prefer live performances, and/or if you're curious of the older version (or my technical performance skills & limitations at the time), here's a link to my old original unedited live recording (not the final composition version):
http://soundcloud.com/fredrik-park/romantic-piano-composition

I also aim for this composition to be included in a high quality visual media project too.
Thank you so much for your interest in my music!

Hay House Radio: I Can See Clearly Now with Dr. Wayne Dyer - 9/08/2014

The war against Voldemort is not going well: even Muggle governments are noticing. Ron scans the obituary pages of The Daily Prophet looking for familiar names. Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts for long stretches of time, and the Order of the Phoenix has already suffered losses. And yet... As in all wars, life goes on. Sixth-year students learn to Apparate--and lose a few eyebrows in the process. The Weasley twins expand their business. Teenagers flirt and fight and fall in love. Classes are never straightforward, though Harry receives some extraordinary help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince. So it's the home front that takes center stage in the multilayered sixth installment of the story of Harry Potter. Here at Hogwarts, Harry will search for the full and complex story of the boy who became Lord Voldemort--and thereby find what may be his only vulnerability.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling, read by Jim Dale

Read by Jim Dale Running time: 11 hrs., 48 mins. 10 CDs. For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort. Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, &quot;He's at Hogwarts...he's at Hogwarts.&quot; Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.
