Guru - Guru's Windmill Waltz

Tekstura is a series of instrumental piano compositions coloured with textures.

With the aim of combining melody and sonic texture deriving solely from the piano, the project started life as an investigation into sustaining tones using electronic bows on the piano strings.

From these early experiments it expanded organically to incorporate a wider musical palette.

Three singles The Noise He Kept So Quiet, Ostranenie and Prelude in E minor were digitally released in 2020.

The album, Tekstura, will be released in 2021 through London based label Blurred Recordings.

Reflective and intimate in nature Piano Tekstura takes inspiration from the piano itself, the urban environment and early cinema.

Alice Allen: cello
 Fiona Brice: vioilin & viola
 Scott Twynholm: piano, organ, accordion, guitars, percussion & electronics

A soft, felted minimalistic piano piece with a bit of melancholy.

Looking for Light in the Darkness

Looking For Light In The Darkness

My single, ‘Evocations’ is the first track from my forthcoming album, ‘Exhale’. As our society is going through such turbulent times, especially towards the end of what looks like a very difficult year for the whole world, I would like to offer my audience some moments of calm, relaxation, repose and reflection. 

Being the founder of Piano-Yoga®, an holistic method of piano playing, performing and teaching,  I will be accompanying the album with a series of breathing techniques and yoga postures, to offer people the opportunity to experience this music in a different way.

Released especially for the holiday season, I am hoping that my audience will be able to take some time away from their busy schedules for themselves, including attending to their physical, psychological and mental well-being, which will enable them to look inwards to re-examine their lives. And, if my music can offer this special support, I will be more than happy to contribute to society in such a way.

🎹 Gentle Echoes – Soothing Piano & Dreamy Instrumentals (Jaded Sounds Records)

Gentle Echoes is a tranquil journey through the art of piano music, blending the intimacy of solo piano, the warmth of lo-fi piano textures, and the ethereal beauty of dreamy, whimsical string arrangements. 🌙🎶 Released under Jaded Sounds Records, this collection captures emotion in its purest form — soft, reflective, and timeless.

Each composition drifts effortlessly between tenderness and imagination — the sound of quiet mornings, starry evenings, and moments of calm between thoughts. With gentle melodies and cinematic grace, Gentle Echoes invites listeners into a world where every note feels like a breath of peace. ☁️🕯️

Secret Garden

NightFall is a minimalist neo-classical piece centered on a steady, reflective piano motif supported by understated cinematic strings. The track maintains a calm, spacious atmosphere, moving from quiet tension to a controlled, emotional rise without becoming dramatic. Its tone fits night study playlists, moody modern classical, and film-inspired instrumentals. The production remains intimate, with close-mic’d piano and light hall ambience that preserve clarity and nuance. Influences include the restraint of Einaudi, the emotional architecture of Max Richter, and the atmospheric pacing of Ólafur Arnalds. NightFall aims for subtlety, balance, and a quiet sense of narrative.
