Murcof & Vanessa Wagner (live @ InFiné Workshop 2013)

I wrote this piece for a very dear friend of mine who recently and unexpectedly passed away, way too young. This, along with my heart, goes out to him and to his family. 

Rest in peace my friend.

In response to an open collaboration invitation from Dirk Maassen I could not resist the opportunity to add some guitar swells and drones to accompany Dirk's beautiful piano performance and composition. 

It was an absolute pleasure for me working on this collaboration. Thank you Dirk....

If you're still looking for a happy ending I suggest you start searching for a new beginning.

A New Beginning

I'm away from the piano at the moment, so I thought I'd share this with everybody...

Compositional sketch for a modern Pastoral Appassionata String Quintet.  Primary composition sometime in November 2013.  Work in progress.

Somebody asked if this is a "sad" song.  Here is my answer:

It is not a "human emotion" song.   It is more a divine/nature/universe  song.  It does not have human emotions like happy/sad.  It has only what is.  It has only pure beauty. Like a waterfall.  Or a mountain.  Or a star. A waterfall is not sad.  Or happy.  It only is. It is simply pure beauty.

Pastoral = of or referring to nature or the creator

Appassionata = with passion  (but in this case, it is not passion like between a man and woman.  it is more passion of the creator for his creation or created for his creator.)

It is more of a spiritual music.  This is what I will do more of later in life. Like these guys:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_minimalism

I aspire to follow in their footsteps one day.

Somebody asked about the plug-ins used:

Solo Bass, Cello, Viola, Violin 1, & Violin 2 from NI Kontact (standard set from Komplete) for this sketch.  Sometime later I will ideally record the real thing... (Or at least use more advanced string libraries.) 6 Instances of 2CAudio Breeze (which I am the developer of) are used here to make the Kontact Strings sound reasonably good.

The strings samples themselves are not that good.  The reverb is!  :)  That's the trick here.



Many new solo piano compositions to share with you all soon!  Happy New Year!

Influenced by blues, swing, psychedelic-rock, electronica, hip hop and folk, "Bon Voyage" is a dynamic journey through the unseen border between music genres.The album is the creation of a band whose members have individual and eclectic tastes and styles; different tastes and knowledge packaged into one collective story that have resulted in pure musical innovation that your ears will remember long after the first listen...

Misconception

When I first heard Lungi dance from the movie Chennai express, it's incredible peppy catchiness only meant one obvious thing - someone needed to make a Western classical remix version. Imagine frilly dresses, wigs, Austrian nobility and state-of-the-art Erode lungis. 

The Violin and Cello were recorded on the really impressive Yeti Blue microphone, which is so sensitive that if you listen really hard, you can occasionally hear the pigeon on my window sill making enquiries about the local availability of pretty single pigeonesses. 

In addition to the tracks I recorded on my instruments, some software layers were used to expand the soundscape to do justice to this most excellent song. 

Danse Macabre De Lungi

where the winds lay, 
afar then new....
a dancing cloud could take me away 
...... across a room
 a shadow that shapes life...
mountain meadows melt in me....
as smoke rings sing and dance 
they mention another romance!
....across a room  
eyes that hide a love 
hanging on conjured words
sending follies blessed as gifts
to know......
the hollow man 
could be filled 
with light and song.....

a single word that could light a room, 
hovers close to the melting moon
......to amuse you!
