Love Hold Me Gently

A short composition consisting of themes I'm extremely fond of. Initially I wanted to experiment with it more, but decided to keep as compact and unassuming as possible, in the manner of various moment musicaux written by composers such as Schubert. 
Dedicated to one of my greatest and most special friend, Marko Paradžik, who was amazed when hearing the main theme for the first time (although when I showed him again much later he said it was horrible).

Ode for Piano, F Major

🎶 -- The Other Side | Journey -- 🎶  

Once you have entered this path, the eternity begins. There are no more options, you have to continue. You may find what you were looking for.  

Everything has been composed and created by me.

Una vez que has entrado en este camino, comienza la eternidad. No hay más opciones, tienes que continuar. Puede que encuentres lo que buscabas.  

Todo ha sido compuesto y creado por mí. @valezkaval15 colaboró en la voz.

The Journey I

I watch you like the sunset
I pine for you like the moon
By the time the sun does rise
my body is in full bloom
I approach you ripe and bruised
hoping you'll sink your teeth in
but you always wash me right off
and cool me in the bin 

You watch me like the sunset
You pine for me like the moon
By the time the sun does rise
your body is in full bloom
You approach me ripe and bruised
hoping i'll sink my teeth right in
but i'll always wash you right off
and cool you in the bin 

We can't always get what we want
in fact we rarely do
in the time it takes to let it go
id rather spend that time thinking of you 
i love all my delusions
and sing songs talking to you

The 2nd of the Alpha Remasters which started in November 2024.
This for what originally was track #5 in early February of 2023.

Alphas are conceived as just very minimal hesitation-removal fixes where we are splitting and sliding edges and maybe some little little deletions of less than a second in judiciously picked places.

5A : Odd Little Ways, Parte The First (Alpha Remaster) released November 10, 2024

Have you ever thought about 
Making your dreams come true?
Have you ever wondered
What's stopping you?
 
Is it your fear
Of doing something new?
Is it your convenience 
To leave your comfort zone?

Write down   
What bothers you and avoid it.
Write down what you like and enjoy it 
As long as you can,

Many people do not fight
To free themselves from their limits
A lot of people don't dare 
To move things that get them ahead.
  
Put all your courage together and try.
Take what's rightfully yours.
There's only one life that's too bad
To be spoiled by others.

And if you feel bad, take a sheet of paper 
And a pencil and write down what comforts you again.
Remember your childhood as it was  
When everything was easy and carefree.

Many people do not fight
To free themselves from their limits.
A lot of people don't dare 
To move things that get them ahead.

And who's responsible for things going the way 
You want them to?
And who's responsible for things going the way?
It's only you
Remember your first girlfriend how wonderful it was 
When you first kissed and touched her.
All these beautiful things are gifts of life 

Many people do not fight
To free themselves from their limits.
A lot of people don't dare 
To move things that get them ahead.

It's You

String Quartet No. 2 - I. Colored Fields

American composer Robert Paterson is a true New Yorker—born and bred in Buffalo, he lived in Rochester and Ithaca for over ten years, in New York City for over twenty years, and now lives in Saratoga Springs, near the Adirondacks. Paterson’s colorful music embraces a wide variety of themes, everything from goddesses and online dating to mathematics and the environment. His music is filled with emotion and fierce rhythmic energy, marked by elegance, wit, and meticulous craftsmanship. Named Composer of The Year by the Classical Recording Foundation at Carnegie Hall, Paterson is the winner of the Alfred I. DuPont Award, and his opera Three Way won the Grammy® under Best Classical Producer of the Year. His music is often a Best of the Year pick on National Public Radio. His orchestral tone poem, Dark Mountains, regularly airs on NPR’s Performance Today. Three Way premiered with Nashville Opera, then BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), and across the United States. Minnesota Orchestra, Louisville Orchestra, The Oratorio Society of New York, Buffalo Philharmonic, Albany Pro Musica, Albany Symphony, Musica Sacra, Austin Symphony, Vermont Symphony, and ensembles worldwide perform his works. Paterson gives masterclasses at the Curtis Institute of Music, New York University, the Aspen Music Festival, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and more. He is the Artistic Director and house composer for Mostly Modern Projects. Robert is a lifelong vegan and advocates for animals and the environment, celebrating the natural world with ground-breaking works such as his Triple Concerto, A New Eaarth, Listen, and I Go Among Trees.
