Name: Sombre by Simon Reich in August 2019 Playlist
Duration: 4 min 58 s
Description: This track was recorded on an old upright piano. It includes lots of the piano mechanical sounds, like pedals, hammers, dampers moving & the piano stool creaking. There are also a few mistakes in this one pass improvisation, but I have left them in the final track, to capture what was, a moment in time, between me & the instrument.

Nice mood - nice piano sound too. Great recording of it.

Often you see  something old  and you say "if that thing could only talk." Fortunately, your beautiful playing made that often spoken line come true on this lovely aged piano. Ncely done, beautifully played  - a real treat to hear.

So beautifully written, recorded, and performed. Like that art work, too!

Enjoy our sounds, and share with a friend :)

August 2019 Playlist

"Tense and taut, 'Nowhere' is a twisted, foreboding journey full of rattling percussion and an ominous, repetitive guitar line floating over deep, spectral synth blooms. It's a study in conjuring a foreboding, sombre atmosphere while retaining a beguiling charm and deep well of emotion."

Sirocco - The Piano Book demo / Air Piano

After reading about the senseless and completely unnecessary death of a toddler in a situation that should never have happened I found myself moved to write this piece of music. 

I can't explain why this one tragedy in a world full of loss and heartache has moved me, but it has.

I'm sad and angry about this - and if I were to put how I feel into words then this would be a half hour rant... so I'll let the music speak for itself. 

If you want to read what moved me to write this the news story is here: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/07/08/us/toddler-falls-cruise-ship-trnd/index.html

I don't want to profit in any way so this track is not set to monetise  and it is freely downloadable. I just want to share awareness of this senseless tragedy.

While I was soundchecking in Hasselt, before the Piano Anders #3 concert, this melody came to find me. 
When I came home I immediately recorded it and tonight I finished mixing and mastering it. 
And now it's here. 

Enjoy. 



Somehow familiar

New Piano Music (NPM) Collective consists of piano composers from all over the world collaborating to show you fresh solo piano music every month.

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.
