Let me first stipulate that I am not a minimalist :-) ...but after joining SC I have heard a lot of interesting music tagged as #soundtrack and became inspired to compose some music in cinematic style.  When I think of piano music in movie soundtracks elements of minimalism come to mind, and so that is the direction I decided to go--toward something simple, subdued, and mildly rhythmic--at least initially; I exercised some restraint in this track, but once I got the rhythmic arpeggios the way I liked them, I couldn't resist adding a bit of melody by way of turning it into a piano duet.  Perhaps “minimalist piano duet” is an oxymoron, so in the end I'm not sure if I succeeded in the original endeavor, but I hope some fellow non-minimalists may enjoy this "minimalism with a melody on top".

Striving for Simplicity ( minimalist piano duet )

Ëirene's Vigil

This composition has been inspired by listening to music by my good friends Debra Buesking and Jean-Pierre Dubois (JiPé )....
I hope you will enjoy listening....

Le temps a dit...

Possa la verità essere tua amica.....✿.｡.:*💕 
Se è difficile trovare qualcosa di positivo da dire e dire la verità. Sembra che il concetto di giusto e sbagliato non abbia importanza fintanto che puoi segnare punti e vincere indipendentemente dal fatto che le persone si facciano male. Ad alcuni politici non interessa la vita di una donna incinta anche se sta morendo per complicazioni di salute, anche se il feto non sopravviverebbe. A loro non importa del bambino che dovrebbe nascere perché a loro non importa della vita, solo della capacità di controllo.

May the truth be your friend.....✿.｡.:*💕
If it's hard to find something positive to say and tell the truth. It seems the concept of right and wrong doesn't matter as long as you can score points and win regardless of whether people get hurt. Some politicians don't care about a pregnant woman's life even if she is dying of health complications, even if the fetus would not survive. They don't care about the child that should be born because they don't care about life, only about the ability to control.

A quiet contemplative moment for Piano Day.  Piano Day takes place on the 88th day --this year March 29th--because of the number of keys on the instrument.  This is my own little celebration.  Thank you for your kind listening.

Song For The Morning | Piano Day 2023

A romantic and perhaps a little sad remembrance. The title is the day my parents met.

10.Februar 1956 (In Memoriam)

The earth shook and split in those days...

Check out one of my films: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOmNC7QYZKA&list=PL5zoWP8Ag0kayTW9P9_m6O-t6XE8mBf6J

Long ago, there was a great evil in the land, which displeased the Divine.  The earth shook and split in those days, water rose and prevailed, then receded.  What was left was a changed earth, this rift standing as a testament to darker days... 

Matthew 6;33 NKJV
[33] But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
