Wonderful summer evenings... I love to sit outside until the stars come out...just magical...

Sommerabend Mitte Juli

Sommerabend Mitte Juli - Summer Evening In Mid-July

The TG3 Model D Close is the piano that ZUN use in his new Touhou games. I found that piano and well, I tested it making the piano used in Chimata's theme.

Inmemorial Marketeers but Only The Piano (TG3 Model D Close Test)

Be My Always

log out of your parents’ netflix
on my living room television
maybe it’s time 
that we address the elephant
it’s obvious
that you're thinking bout leaving
but I’m already healing 
cause you're good at letting people down easy

but breaking up’s supposed to be hard
i shouldn’t have to break my own heart
just because you couldn’t do your part   

but i can’t stay mad
cuz you’re way too good at empathy
please take back
every compliment you said to me
talk your trash 
& treat me disrespectfully 
i’m not gonna make you
but i would love a reason to hate you

took it better than expected
woke up in this empty tempurpedic
used to catch you dreaming now
all that’s left is memories
i’m positive
that you’re laying next to someone new
that’s what you’re supposed to do
but why isn’t it making me uneasy?

cause breaking up’s supposed to be hard
I shouldn’t have to break my own heart
just because you couldn’t do your part   

but i can’t stay mad
cuz you’re way too good at empathy
please take back
every compliment you said to me
talk your trash 
& treat me disrespectfully 
i’m not gonna make you
but i would love a reason to hate you

(love) a reason to hate you

Pyrrichean Dances 4. "Worlds in Collision"

Hard to feel unlike a burden
Harder still to feel deserving of attention
Of affection
When I've spent close to eternity and then some
Being taught a constant lesson
Of my detriment to every strand of fate

Battered will so close to breaking
Fragile mind up for the taking
Walking tightrope on the edge is where our threads first intertwine
Amethyst among the masses
Struck against monochromatic manic me

Walking nightmare in a daydream
Praying no one wakes me
Walking nightmare in a daydream
Hoping that you'll save me

I don't know
What kind of sorcery you've got on me but
Every time you walk into the room
Everything that's withered starts to bloom


Utterly unphased
By the patchwork way I'm made
Past the visage you can see the me I almost lost completely
To the vitriol in spades
And you're gazing with a weight
I am terrified is horribly misplaced

On a nightmare in a daydream
Waiting for the rug to pull from under
Nightmare in a daydream
Unbelieving that you saved me

I don't know
What kind of sorcery you've got on me but
Every time you walks into the room
Everything that's withered starts to bloom

And I don't know
If I can offer what you see in me
But I'll bend heavens, earth, the sun and moon
Trying to do the same for you
Tethering our hearts to start anew
Take what's withered, and make it bloom

Samuel Andreyev is a composer, poet, teacher and performer. His music is performed, broadcast, recorded and written about worldwide, and is known for its expressive intensity, adventurousness and enormous range of timbres. Resolutely independent, his compositional process is marked by a rigourous perfectionism, with many projects taking years to reach completion.

Samuel Andreyev studied composition with Allain Gaussin in Paris, then at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he obtained a masters degree in composition under Frédéric Durieux, and a prix d’analyse under Claude Ledoux. He also studied electroacoustics at IRCAM from 2011-12. His composition Night Division was awarded the grand prix of the Concours Henri Dutilleux in 2012. In the same year, he was awarded a one-year residency at the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid. Frequently sought after as a guest lecturer, Samuel Andreyev teaches privately and in many conservatories and universities across Europe and North America.

Samuel Andreyev’s music is performed throughout the world by ensembles such as Esprit Orchestra, Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, les Percussions de Strasbourg, HANATSU miroir and many others. His scores are published by Alphonse Leduc (France), Impronta (Germany), and Resolute (USA). His most recent book, The Relativistic Empire, was released in October 2015 from Bookthug. His most recent portrait album, 'Music with no Edges', performed by Hanatsu Miroir, was released in November 2018 by Kairos Records. He lives in Strasbourg.
