Softly Touching Ground

simplified version with piano, synth; bass and few drums for my remix of Time from the film inception

inception - Time - LG

There is a place beneath memory, where the sky curves inward and stories breathe through the roots. These songs resonate through time, not to explain, but to remember what was never fully told. Emptiness is not absence; it is where myth comes to light.

Falling into colorful day-dreams with a “Strange Lullaby”. 

Anna from Moving Classics TV plays for you on the piano a „Strange Lullaby“ by a young composer Santiago Vega from Uruguay. 


Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1993. Since he was a child he expressed interest in the arts, particularly literature, painting and music.

He started playing the piano at the age of eleven, self-taught, at the same time he began to compose small pieces and short melodies.

At the age of fifteen he began to receive formal musical instruction from professor Miguel Llovet, while still composing. In 2012 he began to publish his compositions on Musescore.com (https://musescore.com/vega), a platform through which he was contacted by Carlos Marquez, a brilliant Spanish pianist (https://soundcloud.com/cmdigital), with whom he released two albums of his compositions (with Carlos as interpreter) the first in 2016, and the second, recently, in March 2020.

Since 2018 he is studying at the University School of Music (Escuela Universitaria de Música), the Bachelor of Musical Interpretation on Piano, under the tutelage of teachers like Fabiana Galante, Mayra Hernández, Pablo Rilla and Javier Toledo, with a perspective to complete the Bachelor of Composition also.

His favorite composers, and those who have influenced him the most, are: Chopin, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Debussy and Ravel.
The colorful imagination of the music with the wave-like rhythm and soothing but yet exciting melody invites you to slide into your dream.

Calm Piano - Santiago Vega - Strange Lullaby

Medieval Lullaby

A celebration of the analog synth sound and a nod to a ground breaking album in 1976. Now released on Spotify and all major platforms. An amazing and psychedelic music video now on YouTube (much thanks to Birds On The Wire) and many more goodies at the project web site scarlile.org.

Contrite Spirit is composed by Jane Johnson.

My first track with the beautiful Mickleburgh Piano from pianobook.co.uk. Along with some LABs sounds from Spitfire Audio, I wanted to paint the picture of a cold day with the sun peaking through the grey clouds above the trees. The photo in the art work is by my daughter.

This piece is loosely based on a korvai that BC Manjunath taught in the 2020 International Rhythm Course. The left hand is consistently a 5-beat pattern, while the right hand is doing its own thing. 

The tuning is The Janus Scale, the same 11-limit tuning from Paul Johnson that I used for my last piece, Floating, but this piece is centered a tritone away on B-flat instead of E. Since it's called The Janus Scale, I wanted to write a contrasting piece to pair with Floating. 

During this pandemic, I've been very fortunate to be able to study with teachers like BC Manjunath, Jacob Adler, Michael Harrison, and Ned McGowan, who all encourage their students to explore. I wrote this piece as a final project for Jacob Adler's microtonality crash course, and also in preparation for taking part in the continuation of the International Rhythm Course.
