A partial remake of my earlier rearrangement of Frédéric Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, Op. 10 No. 12. 

A Sunday excercise where I laid down a bass part with the Jazz Bass Ultra on top of my earlier rearrangement. I played the electric piano part originally 2.5 years ago as midi in several takes. Also some midi note corrections and quantizations were made back then especially since the changing of the rhythm turned out to be more difficult for the left hand than I expected.. I'm not a pro bassist but it sure was fun playing this! I also didn't want the bass to steal all the attention from the keyboard part:)

I also made a short video of this:

F. Chopin Revolutionary Etude Rearranged w/ Bass (excerpt)

Her Echo is a song about memory, loss, and what remains in the stillness.
Soft piano meets a female voice filled with sorrow, depth, and fragile beauty.

All melodies, vocal phrasing, dynamics, and lyrics were fully composed and written by me.
All other instruments were either recorded manually or arranged using high-quality VSTs – including libraries from EastWest, Native Instruments, Kontakt, Opus, and Komplete.
This is 100% my own musical vision – handcrafted, emotional, and real.

🕯️ Lyrics:

Shadows fall where light once stayed,
Whispers echo dreams we made.
Time moves on, but I remain,
Holding on through silent pain.

I remember… all we were,
In the stillness, in the blur.
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
Lives in me though you’re not by my side.

Leaves still dance where we would stand,
Traces fading in the sand.
I reach out, but you're not near,
Only silence answers here.

I remember… all we were,
In the stillness, in the blur.
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
Lives in me though you’re not by my side.

Reminiscence in my soul,
You’re the part that made me whole...
**The voice was realized using ACE Studio.

🕯️ Songtext:

Schatten fallen, wo einst Licht verweilte,
Flüstern tragen Träume, die wir teilten.
Die Zeit vergeht, doch ich bleib’ besteh’n,
Halte fest – in stillem Schmerz vergeh’n.

Ich erinn’re mich… an unser Sein,
In der Stille, mittendrin, allein.
Jeder Herzschlag, jeder Seufzer –
lebt in mir, auch wenn du nicht mehr bei mir bist.

Blätter tanzen, wo wir einst gestanden,
Spuren, die im Sand bald verschwanden.
Ich greif nach dir – doch du bist fern,
Nur das Schweigen bleibt mir noch so gern.

Ich erinn’re mich… an unser Sein,
In der Stille, mittendrin, allein.
Jeder Herzschlag, jeder Seufzer –
lebt in mir, auch wenn du nicht mehr bei mir bist.

Erinnerung – tief in meiner Seele,
Du warst der Teil, der mich einst ganz machte...
***Die Stimme wurde mit ACE Studio realisiert.

Her Echo (Reminiscence)

A heartfelt duet of piano by Roberto Guerra and voice by the luminous Oddrun Eikli, composed by Francesco Adornetto.

In a world that often trembles under the weight of conflict and noise, love remains our quiet rebellion.
A gesture, a word, a melody — sometimes that’s all it takes to remind someone they’re not alone.

These tender lines, written and sung by the beautiful soul of Oddrun Eikli, carry that reminder — and borrow from the timeless words of Emily Brontë, who left us far too soon, yet gifted the world with her poetry:

“He’s more myself than I am.
Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
If raindrops were kisses, I’d send you showers.
If hugs were seas, I’d send you oceans.
And if love was a person, I’d send you me.”

Let’s keep sharing love — through notes, through silence, through presence.
Because love is the only thing that grows when it’s given. 💙

DOUBLE WIRED

This is a piano piece with cello arrangements. A peaceful look into nostalgia and memories, composed from the wonderful island of Mallorca. Greetings to all of you who have been following me for years. 

Where we used to be

I have been hearing so much AI music lately on SoundCloud and these  thoughts have been percolating with me for a while and finally they coalesced into a song. (created without the use of AI).

You got tired of struggling so hard to write a great original song
And then this amazing newfangled technology came along
Now you’re using AI to create music, and it’s a much easier process
And you’re convinced you found the ticket to achieving great success.
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great
It makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Those classic rockers used to write 10 or 12 good songs every couple of years
Now you’re posting two or three songs a day and hoping for a bunch of cheers
You’re rolling the musical dice, hoping you’ll come up with a catchy viral hit 
But there’s so much music flooding the internet that no one gives a shit
You tell yourself you’re a great artist because prompting takes a lot of skill
But deep down you know the AI did most of the work and you swallow the bitter pill
People complement you on your guitar playing and they tell you your voice sounds great, it makes you feel so good but you don’t ever set them straight
Some people believe we’re living in simulation and none of this is real
We’re just digital creations in a computer with the ability to feel
But even if that’s not the case, we’re quickly, heading to a place where no one’s going to be able to tell the difference.
You used strum your guitar, trying to capture lightning in a bottle and the songs that emerged came from you.
And now the songs you write with AI, what they’re saying, you don’t have a clue.
Music used to feel therapeutic, it was a window on your soul that you could share.
But now something feels missing because your songs no longer lay your heart bare.

Prompting Takes A Lot Of Skill

"New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings." - Lao Tzu

"It's strange, but true, that the most important turning points of life often come at the most unexpected times and in the most unexpected ways." - Napoleon Hill

A weekend improvisation, dedicated to the turning points in our lives that often show up unexpectedly, after heavy, difficult times.  As you listen to this piece, you will hear the "turning point" emerge in the music around the 3:22 mark.

A companion piece to "Starting Again."

Welcome to my SoundCloud page.  It serves as a jar of sorts, to catch the musical ideas flying around in my head!  My hope is that you find something to listen to that offers encouragement and refreshes your soul.

All music is original with a few exceptions (such as new arrangements of old Christmas songs, etc.).  All music has been composed and performed with absolutely no AI-assistance.  I primarily perform and record on the Yamaha MODX8, with an occasional recording on my older Yamaha Clavinova.  You will also find collaborative works on my page, featuring some other amazing musicians on SoundCloud.

It is a joy to share my music with you, and I hope you enjoy listening!
