A guitar friend on SoundCloud had challenged me to make a guitar and piano work earlier this year as it has not been done much.. The guitarist who had agreed to collaborate with me could not record at this time so I used my moon guitar software playing piano motifs.. A performance for reaching 2000 + SC followers. 

It sits on the introspective side of neoclassical but with strong melodic content. The piano improv by itself is very different as the MIDI keyboard does not allow great technical difficulty in performance.
Piano improvs on this work on Twitter/FB/YT are popular.

did it take some time after 
even as they did play?
did it take some time after 
or was it all just a laughter?
did it not take you by surprise
how my world wells with tears?
just thinking about it 
how the mess begins, darling 
how the mess, the mess begins, darling 

only there in the night 
when it starts to fall 
only there in the night 
do I see my fault 
only there in the night 
incognito deal 
only there in the night 
deliberate deal 
only there in the night 
reaction is served 
only in serving the cause of all causes 
only in serving the cause
does the dust settle 

how long will it take me
only to feel for you?

Light
Only light 
Will prevail

Darkness all around
And you are there
To always care

You
My Shining Star
The reigning one
Victorious for all

Because there is you
You in this world
Fighting for the j-u-s-t-i-c-e
And more

My love
I give you the power
To conquer 
All that's wrong in this world

There will be no more evil
Oh No
Not when there's you 
Captain Good
Around

You, you are my love
I'll stand by you
Forever by your side

Cuz' you
You are my H-e-r-o
You are the one 
That I look up to
I will be your 
Woman-Hun
You will...

Oh...Oh-Oh-Oh

You are stronger than
Hmn-any mountain 
You can never tumble down 
To the ground

Unshakeable
A voice of supreme nature
You will fight 
For all that's g-o-o-d in this world

You were born to be
So very special
My S-h-i-n-i-n-g S-t-a-r
I will look up to you-Hoo...Oh

There can never be 
Light without you-Oo-Hoo-Hoo

Oh-Oh-Oh

We will be Good to your soul, and...to your Ears...

We promise.
let your Consciousness Resonate with this Tone Poem, my friends.
For if it suggests anything, it is that 'There is Peace at Center, and Center is Everywhere.
What you hear first in this composition represents the Cosmic Background Radiation even now remaining from what we understand as the Big Bang. (Indeed, this Vibrational FingerPrint was theorized and then revealed by NASA's C.O.B.E. < CO(smic) B(ackground) E(xplorer) >
And this 'radiant energy' continues to resonate throughout this entire MultiVerse ....  "    
Indeed an honor to work with Gary on this wonderful Ambient piece!!

The Art of Hoquet - D'Amore
November 2020
Duration: 2:45
Cover Art: John-Marc Ventimiglia

Based on the 14th century 2 part Ballade, Je ne cuit pas, by Guillaume de Machaut.  
The composition is written in a contemporary style using the technique of hoquet.

The term "hoquet" is a French word (in Old French also hocquet, hoket, or ocquet) meaning "a shock, sudden interruption, hitch, or hiccup".  Although the term is in reference to the secular music of the 13th and 14th centuries in France, the technique, under other names, could be heard in different types of music across the world as early as the 11th century.  Hoquet is the rhythmic linear technique using the alternation of notes, pitches, or chords.  In medieval practice of hocket, a single melody is shared between two (or occasionally more) voices or instruments such that alternately one voice sounds while the other rests.  Hoquet is also used in Indonesian Gamelan music, African music, Classical music, Jazz and popular music.

For strings, woodwinds, harp, bandura, celeste, virtual instruments and percussion

Thank you so much to my lovely Sander for mastering this new song for me! @wane-of-summer 😊❤️🎹🎼🎶🎤🎧❤️

Picture taken by me. 😊

If someone listens
Someone lends an ear
If they have your back
There’s nothing to fear

That’s worth its weight in gold
If you have someone
That’s worth it’s weight in gold 
When the fear is gone

If someone holds you
And wipes your tears
If someone has your back
There’s no room for fear

Chorus

You take the weight of the world from me...

If someone needs you
If they make you smile
Don’t let them go
Don’t let them go..

You take the weight of the world from me...

WEIGHT IN GOLD

Another piece based on the drum groove of Gonzalo Serrano. This is our third collab and I'm sure it won't be the last one! Apart from the choir, I've used the following instrumenst:  strings, french horns, clarinet and  piccolo.
Be sure to visit Gonzalo's profile - it's full of inspiring music: @user-600615411. Or you can try to interpret that particular groove: https://soundcloud.com/user-600615411/the-rain-dance
