So gentle, such nice melodies, and full of ups and downs. Really enjoyed this.

Lilting & rolling in it's delivery. Never let's you settle, always waiting for the next chapter this tune is headed in :)

lovely feeling of nostalgia and tenderness

The first song from my new album "Life Is..."

Finding Home

My wife bought a fabulous original watercolour painting of purple poppies and she left it on the music stand of my piano. As I sat down to practice I gazed at the painting and improvised this track. It has two aspects - the present day image of poppies blowing in the wind and the associated remembrance of soldiers who died in battle.

I recorded the improvisation and practised it until I could play the left hand part without it sounding too amateurish - at the end of recording the track my left hand felt about ready to fall off!

The painting is by a wonderful artist called Anna and was bought from eBay - you can see her other works here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/fabulous.2008/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Purple Rhapsody is instrumental music - 'emotions without words' is the tagline and that's what it's about.

There isn't any one constant that defines the style of a piece of Purple Rhapsody music. Many genres are represented... from powerful electronic to simple emotive piano with many styles in-between.

With experience in scoring films and commissions I'm happy for you to get in touch if you have a need for original instrumental music for your film project, advert, or any commission. I'll be more than happy to discuss what we can do together.
