Sonnenstrahlen auf der Haut

PIANO DAY 2022: Sonnenstrahlen auf der Haut - Sunbeams On The Skin

Composed & Produced by www.StanLeonard.com
Voices from artist Tinkebell & Eva (Interview Dutch TV program "Eén op Eén")
@StanLeonard


Tinkebell

A recent string piece I recorded.  (Please excuse the terrible Soundcloud mp3 compression - makes everything sound wobbly)

Rhian Sheehan - Adagio Theme

A brand new improvisation. Recorded very early this morning. It was still dark outside and I took the chance before starting with today's work. Christmas time is always Blackweeks , Blackfriday and Cybermonday time. As a composer and producer for TV commercials, I have a lot to do. I still take my needed breaks and sit down at my piano and play without any prior idea. Free improvising. Please enjoy.

Lyrics: We’re walking in the air
We’re floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

I’m holding very tight
I’m riding in the midnight blue
I’m finding I can fly so high above with you

Far across the world
The villages go by like trees
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams

Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes

We’re surfing in the air
We’re swimming in the frozen sky
We’re drifting over icy
Mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep

We’re walking in the air
We’re floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

Thank you for listening and see you tomorrow!

Walking in the Air by Howard Blake

Learn

Life is full of lessons, if you can see them? Sometimes, things that present themselves as problems, have ended up being my greatest learning lessons. Hence the name of this piece. Often when improvising on the piano, I am thinking of something that has happened to me during that day or week & that seems to influence the outcome of the musical piece. Don't ask me to explain why, because I can't! It's just one of life's mysteries, but a happy one in my case. When music starts flowing, it's like a tap that can't be turned off. I hope this gives you inspiration to see the good in some of the crises you may be going through?

Lessons

Compline is a monastic practice where monks gather to reflect & mark the completion of the working day.

There's no religious significance as such for me, but the concept of reflecting on the day's events right at it's very end, is an interesting and fascinating idea. Feel free to listen to this song in this way, and maybe with headphones.

I recorded this song for Piano Day 2016, held on 28th March. I hope you enjoy it! www.pianoday.org

A rework of my piece "An Empty House" by Jameson Nathan Jones

An Empty House

An Empty House (Jameson Nathan Jones Rework)

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.
