Beautiful and emotional piano playing, Arlo.

i love this ❤️‍🔥 because it flows like a cloudless afternoon — warm light, deep breaths, and no shadows to disturb the peace. A piano that doesn’t rush, but accompanies, leaving you space to feel the relief of a gentle summer

Go, Lovely Rose (SATB, sans solo violin)

A favorite falls where we went before meditating.

Loving Once and Lost

Endless Longing is a fragile blend of felt piano and ethereal vocals, composed by Francesco Adornetto and featuring the haunting voice of Blackbird. This ambient piece unfolds like a quiet sigh — a meditation on absence, memory, and the ache of something just out of reach. Minimal yet emotionally rich, it invites the listener into a space of stillness and introspection.

Meraki – The Art of Pouring Soul, Creativity, and Love into Everything We Do

Every keystroke is a breath of the soul, every harmony a reflection of pure passion. 
Meraki is born from the impulse to infuse heart into every note, transforming emotions and thoughts into sound. It’s a journey of devotion, a silent dialogue between the intimate and the infinite, where music is not just heard, but deeply felt.

Meraki

A distant call in gentle waves,
lost between space and time.
The silence carries hidden songs,
a whisper from eternity.

Carry me away, oh gentle stream,
where no shadow lingers.
Lead me where dreams live,
where the soul hurries home.

The wind tells of old paths,
that no one dares to tread anymore.
The earth breathes silent names,
that time held in its hands.

Carry me away, oh gentle stream,
where no shadow lingers.
Let me fall, deep into silence,
where the light divides the morning.

… take me with you…
through time…

This piece unfolds like a breath made visible — structured, intentional, yet deeply human in its fragility. In the opening, we see repetition rooted in the lower registers, almost mechanical yet comforting, like the steady rhythm of a clock marking each second with devotion. These patterns seem to echo the mundane rituals of life, the unnoticed beauty in routine, the sacred silence of presence.
As we move forward, a gentle escalation begins. Notes rise, one after another, reaching toward something unseen. There's a yearning here — a soft insistence — as if time itself were stretching, holding its breath. Then suddenly, the lines splinter upward: sharp bursts of high notes like thoughts breaking through stillness, or memories surfacing with urgency.
Midway through, this breath becomes restless. The motif repeats with variations, suggesting reflection, perhaps even inner conflict. The density increases, not chaotically, but like a mind trying to grasp something just beyond reach — a moment, a feeling, a forgotten truth.
Then comes the climb again. But it’s not the same as before. This time, it carries wisdom, as if the breath has learned from its own rhythm. The final ascent is quieter, more deliberate, like a farewell exhale — tender, aware of its own impermanence. And finally, the descent: a peaceful surrender, a return to stillness, where time no longer counts — it just is.

A Breath In Time

I am a 71 year old man in Minnesota.  I am still trying to get the rest of my music on here.       My YouTube.com is @RichardLOlson.  It has mostly acoustic videos on a Lyrica baby grand piano in the Atrium of North Memorial  Health  Hospital in Robbinsdale, MN where I volunteer twice weekly.  More if loved ones are there.

Now for all of the rest of details with SoundCloud on account settings..

I remember my first MIDI recording was done in Cardiff, Wales on a grand piano in a fancy restaurant near Cardiff Castle.  I have no idea what became of the file.  We stayed at the Angels Hotel opposite the charming Animal Wall of the castle.

I had the experience of virtually becoming a Minnesotan this weekend.  I have lived in Minnesota since the 1970's but have always been teased as an Iowan.  Nobody remembers anymore.  I do.

A commentator stated something about my melodies not being fully developed.  The music he commented was from the turn of the century and not contemporary.  Whatever inspires my improvisation now is more melodic in nature.
