My first experiment in a somewhat sonata-like movement that loosely follows the exposition-development-recapitulation cycle, where the second, G major (tethering even on D major) returns in the recapitulation in the home key of C minor. It took me longer to finish than anticipated but in the end, I'm extremely pleased with the result. 

The main theme is one of those themes that simply appears almost on its own when your hands land on the piano. It was a delightful, but chalenging experience trying to develop it and derive new themes from it, in the end I've scraped as many themes as I've included. 

I dedicate this work to my dear friend Ivan Dadić and his wife, Katarina Dadić, who liked the melody so much that she used it as a ringtone for her alarm clock.

I've been away from SoundCloud for a while working on my new album and several writing projects, but the album's nearly done, so I thought I'd emerge from my cocoon and post this song, which means a lot to me. It features my good friend Akmaral Zykayeva on violin. For the past ten years, I've been doing a lot of consulting work in Kazakhstan. I met Akmaral in Almaty, Kazakhstan about six years ago. She is a hugely gifted composer, singer, and violinist who records as "Akmaral Mergen" and also as "Mergen" (Mergen means "woman warrior" in Kazakh).
For this song, Akmaral wrote a beautiful six-violin arrangement, playing all the parts herself.
The photo on the cover is the view from my hotel room in Almaty on one of my trips. In the foreground is Almaty Opera House and in the distance are the snowcapped Tien Shan Mountains (the "Celestial Mountains"). Beyond the mountains is Kyrgyzstan. 
Main guitars on this song are my Taylor GC-5 acoustic and my 1966 Guild Starfire XII (electric twelve-string).
The cricket and bird sounds at the beginning and end were recorded by me with a field recorder in a wild area of southern Wisconsin.
(This song can be found on my "Twilight on Tunnel Road" album, which I'm happy to say won the Alternative Album of the Year award from the Madison Area Music Association.)
LYRICS:
"Let Me Go”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

Nothing I say to you makes it untrue.
Let me go—I can’t say how much I love you.

Taking it all away, I can’t bear the day.
In the night I just see your face staring at me.
Let me go.

Seeing I don’t know why, why you must try
to go far away now, climb mountains so high.

Every single day, I’m making my way.
I can’t deal with you gone and I’m not okay.
Let me go.

I don’t say you should not go—closing off the future before you can know.
I just can’t get loose from your strings,
they’re wrapped around my heart entangling all things.

I remember how we used to play, how we used to dance, how we used to run,
dissolving in the moonlight as if we were one.
And all those days, all those times, all those nights we held to each other,
held so tight as if we might lose the one thing we love.

And I think that I can’t go on now,
without you I’m lost, I just don’t know how.
Now the light has gone out of my life,
nothing ahead but torment and strife.

EXPLORERS

================================

Hi everyone.

After three weeks sick, he seems to be starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel (That's what we say in Spain...).

My precious kidney stones have prevented me from focusing on songwriting and my commitments to some friends here, and will continue to do so for a while...

But my spirit regains energy and that's why I leave you here a composition from almost 8 years ago that I don't remember having published before.

It is one of the most complex electronic parts ever made.

It's true that I remastered it a few years later in my second mixing studio......yes, in my second car with BT.

I hope you like it, while I hope to expel two of my beloved stones from the four I have had since the last month.

Greetings.

Paco. ; )

Are you paying attention? I guess you're not.
There’s too much information. Yeah, I hear that a lot...
And like a lot of fools you feel that you cannot improve without YouTube 
to help you through the bumps and bruises,
help you chew the lumps life chooses.
I don’t know if I wanna hold your hand.
If you follow me I’ll help you see that only I know how to breathe.
Come to stay and never leave.
See that violence leads to peace.
Instructions hid behind the crease.
Disruption to the sanity.

Lyrics by Tony Harris US (listed below)
Vocals, Melody, Music and Mix by Mike Fox UK

GROWING UP IN THE COUNTRY
MUSIC WAS A SWEET MEMORY
WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL IN THE CITY
NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO PARTY

STUDIED HARD IN HIGH SCHOOL
NEVER ANYBODY'S FOOL
MADE GOOD GRADES IN COLLEGE
FILLED HIS HEAD WITH KNOWLEDGE

GRADUATED COLLEGE WITH A DEGREE
TOOK A JOB IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE
CLIMBIN' THE CORPORATE LADDER
TO HIM..IT WASEN'T THE ANSWER

HE WAS PROUD OF HIS EDUCATION
THE CORPORATE LIFE TAKES DEDICATION
DIDN'T WANT A LIFE FILLED WITH STRIFE
DECIDED TO ABORT THAT KIND OF LIFE

(CHORUS)
PULLED HIS GUITAR OUT OF IT'S CASE
PLAYED SWEET HOME ALABAMA
FOLLOWED BY AMAZING GRACE
THE COUNTRY LIFE WAS CALLIN'
DECIDED TO LEAVE THE RAT RACE
CAUSE, THE COUNTRY LIFE WAS CALLIN'

(GUITAR SOLO)

HE PUT A COUNTRY BAND TOGETHER
NASHVILLE WAS THE PERFECT THEATER
SINGER SONGWRITERS WERE EVERYWHERE
MAY HAVE BEEN CRAZY BUT HE DIDN'T CARE

IT ALL CAME TOGETHER VERY FAST
STARTED PLAYIN' IN THE SOUTH FIRST
WAS GETTING BACK TO HIS COUNTRY ROOTS
AND WEARING HIS WESTERN BOOTS

SOON THEY WERE PLAYIN' THE RIGHT SONGS
AND THE RIGHT CHORDS AT THE RIGHT TIME
HAD A BAND THAT HE COULD TRUST
AND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW BUS

(REPEAT CHORUS 2 TIMES OPTIONAL)

Beautiful (Piano R&B Soul Music)

elisa

Alone Together, composed by Francesco Adornetto and masterfully refined and performed by the renowned pianist Alessandra Celletti, blends nostalgic melodies with moments of tension, drawing the listener into a world of dreams and mystery. It’s an ideal choice for those in search of music that is both powerful and evocative, capable of stirring deep emotions and conjuring images of rare beauty.

Alone Together

Alone Together (Alessandra Celletti & Francesco Adornetto)

Full Lit Moon

The piece, born from the collaboration between Vicenzo, who uses his new alias Piano For Your Soul, and Francesco Adornetto, invites the listener to immerse themselves in an inner journey filled with emotional nuances. The vibrant and suspended melodies reflect a balance between fragility and resilience, symbolising tears that are not only a sign of sorrow but also of transformation and hope.

This composition unfolds as a story without words, a dialogue between two artistic souls exploring the infinite with keys that sing and sighs that dance between the lines. Visual and musical art intertwine in a work that celebrates the hidden beauty of the deepest emotions.

This artwork, titled Tears of Eternity, embodies the delicacy of a piano piece that evokes profound melancholy and intimate beauty. Creating a dialogue between ethereal flowers, faded sheet music, and a stylized piano, the image reflects the emotional flow and the passage of time.

Scarlet Whispers

Donde El Gesto Habla (“Where the Gesture Speaks”) was born from an unexpected invitation to perform at an international animal-rights event. I wasn’t ready for the stage, yet the gesture—someone truly caring about my music and what it stands for—spoke louder than words.
The piece doesn’t run; it walks. Two even steps, like two hands reaching for each other. Deep down a low heartbeat holds the breath; above it, a gentle voice answers in fragments—one held word, then two whispers—climbing and descending in small steps. The wave swells, lays down, grows quiet again. And often, before it fades, it leaves a tiny falling sigh, like a softly spoken “yes.”
Dedicated to those who give voice to the voiceless.
