Well done Phil, it's alway worth doing something a bit different.

Evocative of other times, it has a truly charming melody.

This is just beautiful! A pleasure! 😃👏👏

i expect Ian Anderson to start singing at any moment

It may be obvious that this piece has its roots in Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" Op. 27 No. 2.  My first iterations were much closer to the original but I have now wandered far afield.  Sincere thanks to you for listening.  I'm honored.

*If I am slower to respond lately it should be noted I have a new puppy.  I am hoping he won't eat my house and pianos.

Sincere thanks to my good friend and frequent collaborator David Dunham for mastering my track @david-dunhamuser589535203

Introspection

I released The Knight Errant a few years ago, and have thought about doing a remix of the tune ever since. I guess this is more like a rearrangement.  The original was in 6/8 The return is 4/4 and has a more electronic, and dare I say it, dance vibe!

That's what happens, when friends lend us their session room for recording... Thank you so much, Nico, Vince, Patrick & Mario !!! :)

Like Many people, Robert has a Factitious Disorder. One day he thinks he can be a cook, an architect the other a lawyer, a pilot or even a surgeon each time putting the life of others in danger. Robert learns quickly but fundamentally, he is ignorant in many ways. When he pretended that he landed the lunar module Falcon on the moon with Luis Armstrong one should have understand that he was totally phony but clearly indicating that he may have been a jazzman. However, his charisma and his good spiel may bring him to the presidency of his country. Will someone stop him before it is too late?

Note: The lunar Module is the Eagle landed on the moon by Niel Armstrong with Buzz Aldrin.

Musical notes: This song is vaguely inspired by Chick Corea’s album The Mad Hatter, a classic that you should listen some day.

The world was still asleep in the quiet moments before dawn when a polite knock interrupted the silence. When she reached the door, the only sign of a visitor was the faint sound of a carriage disappearing into the distance. On the porch was a single, ornate invitation, its wax seal still intact. As she broke the seal and opened the envelope, she felt a sense of curiosity and mystery. What lay inside was not simply an invitation, but a message that might just change her life forever.

Piano improvisation for a short story scene. 😊

Inspired by the poem "The Peace of Wild Things" by the American poet Wendall Berry.

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

The Peace of Wild Things (featuring Lien)

“Jon Skarin – September” reflects the calm and quiet beauty of early autumn, blending cinematic soundtrack tones, classical influences, world music colors, and gentle folk atmospheres. The album captures the shift from summer warmth to cooler days — a month filled with nostalgia, introspection, and fading light. A soothing, expressive journey into the moods of September.
