This is my version of the wonderful Opening by Philip Glass from Glassworks. It largely follows the piece as written, but I've added a a few bits of my own and not followed the structure exactly, hence slight rework.

This is one of the first pieces that caught my imagination when I began learning to play piano and it's taken till now for me to get to a point where I'm ready to share my take on it. I'm still very much a late starting learner with the piano, but hopefully there's enough here to get across the beauty of this piece of music.

I wish you a very happy new year and mostly I wish that all those bully leaders, dictators and political parasite such as Mister N, Mister P, Mister T, etc. will be dismissed in 2025.

Thank You so much for over 1500 plays! ❤️

Little improvisation made after watching Fracture Sounds "Hemisphere" trailer and turned into track. The ad set the emotional state and choice of instruments. NO A.I. INVOLVED!

What I played sounded so melancholic that it reminded me of the thoughts I had while walking with my wife. Every playground we passed was empty. It contrasted with times when our son was little - finding a free swing for a toddler bordered on a miracle. Now it's a miracle to see children swinging on them. Could the "Universe 25" experiment have predicted everything that is happening now?

I played it in one take, then did some editing and added cello, harmonics, bass and ambient sounds. I used only three instruments: two from free Spitfire LABS libraries: Ambient Guitars and Cello Moods. Bass is sub patch from Native Instruments Massive.
I used one sample from the BBC Sound Effects library: Children: Playing - Fushun: Children playing in snow.

The genotype of this song definitely includes two of my favorite This Mortal Coil songs, "The Jeweller" and "Tarantula".

I secretly hope that You may like it. Let me know in the comments what You think about the music and what lies in its heart.

Thanks go to my testdriver kavvka ••ꝁ𐌰v̷̷v̷̷ꝁ𐌰•• @grzegorzkawka who always gives me courage and accurately points out the elements that need improvement.

A Miracle I'd Like to See

„Schwarze Rose“ (18.01.2025)

Mancher Moment kann ein dorniger, zarter, durchdringender Schmerz sein.
Für mich symbolisiert das die „Schwarze Rose“ 
Ein feiner, blütenhafter Trauerflor.

Schwarze Rose, zarte dunkle Blüte die mein Herz zerspringen lässt.
Je mehr ich Dich betrachte, so tief blickst Du in mein betrübtes Herz. 

Dieses Stück ist für zarte, traurige und gefühlvolle Momente.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Black Rose" (January 18, 2025)

Some moments can be a thorny, tender, piercing pain.
For me, this symbolizes the "Black Rose"
A fine, flower-like mourning ribbon.

Black rose, delicate dark blossom that makes my heart burst.
The more I look at you, the more deeply you look into my sad heart.

This piece is for tender, sad and emotional moments.

Thank you for your valued attention.

Piano Sketch 19 A Fleeting Dream - Utakata

Composed and performed by Megan Jennifer Lewis
Mixed by Megan Jennifer Lewis
Mastered by Chris Adams

I composed this piece before embarking on a very long journey.   I turned inwards to centre myself and this was the result.

Introspect

There were only two of them in The Divine Garden. The fallen Guardian, that was betrayed by his own creator. And The Divine Flower - God of these lands, that killed his beloved. The place Guardian once called home - The field covered with flowers - now became battlefield. The wind caressed flowers with his gentle and cold touch. The sun was covered by clouds...

Both Guardian and the Flower had nothing to tell to each other after all they've been through. There was no other way but to fight until one of them will be destroyed forever. 

The Flower wanted to satisfy his egoism.
And the Guardian wanted to take his revenge.
