Such a beautiful composition...full of memories...great track and a very moving story!

Emotive indeed. The strings heightens the tension in the track. Beautiful piece.

My wife's beloved aunt Babs turned 90 today; happy birthday, Aunt Babs!!

I love to watch clouds in the sky. Sometimes I just sit there and look into the distance, see cloud after cloud go by and find that pretty relaxing.

Ich liebe es Wolken am Himmel zu beobachten. Manchmal sitze ich einfach nur da und schaue in die Weite, sehe Wolke um Wolke vorüberziehen und finde das ziemlich entspannend.

Wolken am Himmel

Wolken am Himmel - Clouds in the sky

The podcast series "Up from the Rubble", tells the story of my father's childhood in Nazi Germany, his survival during the carpet bombing of Berlin, living through the Russian invasion of the German capital & the Berlin blockade by Stalin. It then charts his immigration to Australia. I composed & recorded the emotive soundtrack using piano (which I played) & a string quartet. This track accompanies the story of my father escaping Nazi soldiers rounding up children on the street. Because his mother was in hospital after being bombed & a foster family had abused him, dad ran away & was wandering the streets of Berlin. Soldiers saw him & forced him to go to the train station to be deported with all the other children roaming the streets, but my father escaped & found refuge under his mother's hospital bed. A nurse took pity on him & would take him home at night. The full soundtrack album will follow soon.

If you want to check out the podcast series, here is a link to episode one & you can follow the subsequent chapters from there.

Hospital Bed

This is an original song re-worked in a more acoustic fashion, although, in the end, there are electric guitars, an electric sitar guitar, bass guitar and a bunch of keys filling in gaps here and there.  :-)

Written, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Mark Lowrie at Guffland Studios in Melbourne.

Let Me Down Slowly

A neoclassical piano arrangement of the traditional English carol

Coventry Carol

This is a re-worked version of an old carol I did last year (using sounds from Spitfire Audio). This version uses only sounds from the Casio PX-S3100 Stage Piano.

Good King Wenceslas (2022)

Today i am thinking lovingly of Paige, my dearest friend, my wife and muse, who passed away some years ago now. It's poignant; yes. But her spirit is yet bright in me and i imagine her smiling and free, mischievously engaging with life on another plane somewhere. 

It's good to share these tonal feelings with all who care to Listen deeply as you contemplate your own worlds.   

May you enJOY. 😊

Thinking Of You, Angel 🤗

A delightful waltz, with just a hint of creepiness, performed brilliantly by Anna Heller.

And When They Are Gone

I started off learning piano at around 6 years old, but only realised my ear for music when I could pick out melodies I heard on the radio & from then on I started writing my own music & playing long into the night, to the point where my parents told me to stop so they could go to sleep!
In my teenage years I joined bands & learnt basically on the fly how to work as a group. Once I realised that keyboards were not as portable & able to be played on beaches / around campfires, I taught myself guitar. By adding drums, harmonica & bass to my arsenal, the stage was set for a fully working band to record in my garage. Since setting up my home studio, I love recording a tune each week & especially love collaborating with all the extremely talented musicians on soundcloud. I'm a full time musician, with many different hats in the music community. Including songwriter, composer, live musician & blog writer.
