A lovely soul touching, inspirational pianistic solace!  Exquisite arrangement! Happy Holidays, Sonni!  🤍🤍🤍♾🙌🏻

5 great grandchildren! 
How wonderful indeed. I wonder who Aiken might be ?

This is a beautiful "B" section.  Your piece makes me think of my mother.

Thank You all so much for 1300 plays of this collab track! ❤️

On may 2024 (so it's passed 6 months...) @belial-pelegrim presented to the world Taffeta 189 which can be found here >> https://soundcloud.com/belial-pelegrim/taffeta-189. A masterfully crafted piece from his unfinished story-driven musical series.
From the very beginning, this track fascinated me to such an extent that a melody immediately appeared in my head. In a burst of self-confidence, I asked the Master for the file of this song so that I could put my melodic ideas into it, just like I did with Donak RV's song https://soundcloud.com/r-u-r-pl/duo-melodica-rur-nylon-guitar-remix. And the strangest thing is, he willingly agreed to my idea!
So I tried it and here we are. It's been a while since then, but I think I've finally finished it. I sincerely hope that you will like the effect of this cooperation.

If you are intrigued by this song and you haven't heard the music of @belial-pelegrim yet, and you would like to listen to more (I assure you, it's really worth it!), please visit his profile for more!

Everyone has people they have loved who are no longer here.  We think of them and we miss them.  Have you ever dreamed about them? Had talks with them and could feel the warm from them? I have.  Most of them were with my father, who died when I was 35. Half my life ago.  When he hugged me, I could feel the warmth. When he walked away I felt such sadness. But that was not the only time we met in a dream.

Where Does Time Fly?

Where does time fly?
I didn't wonder where
When I was living out my day to day
Too young to really know
How fast the time would pass me by
When my life began to grow

I thought I knew the answers
For my future far ahead
It took so long to get old enough
Time laughed at me instead
Knowing someday I'd look back
At a life I learned to love

I didn't know mistakes I'd make
Or where that choice would take me
I thought I'd have a long, long time
Before me, not behind me
My older years were far away
M,y dreams were there, I'd find

But causes and effects betray
They scatter dreams somewhere
Struggling now to breathe and live
My dreams were tucked away
Wisdom comes from what we give
While waiting for better day

I had come too close to death
To understand my reasons
Now I know with every breath
The order of all seasons
If I had lived my dream too young
I would have stopped believing

Time moves faster than we think
I have one life as it slowly fades
Decades pass like hazy days
It's up to me to make dreams live
I always knew when I was born
It's music I'm alive to give

My younger self who couldn't see
The journey life would take me on
Finally, when I turn around
I hear the sound and understand
I do not live for someone else
and forget the reasons why I stand

My life comes first, I die alone
What matters most is my true self
No one else's truth or lies
Did I forget to wonder why
This life we live is never known
This is where time flies

Where Does Time Fly?

Moving The Needle

Music by ɅƉﺍꝚﺍɅNƠ

A soundtrack inspired by the movie titled "DUNE"

DREAMS ARE MESSAGES FROM THE DEEP

What would I do different if I could  turn back time. 
Would I take a different path, not knowing what I'd find?
I didn't know to think about the consequence of actions? 
I lived a life based upon causes and reactions 

I think, who would I miss if I I chose a different road
I'd be a different person, someone I don't know. 
One tiny thing could change all things, a different way of life
Maybe something careless happened, maybe I would have died.

If I had done things differently, who would be my children?
You cannot miss what you never had, but still . . . then,
We learn from everything we do. Wisdom comes from learning    
We experience life as we age, growing fast and yearning

Would I want the joy of youth and erase the me I know? 
One tiny change, one subtle choice, doesn't mean no sorrow
It doesn't mean a better life, though different it would be
Don't wish away the life you have, be happy you are me.

There is No Looking Back

After picking up and falling in love with the low whistle this year, I wanted to compose an Irish folk style song for which I can play and record most of the instruments. So this is what I came up with.
Many thanks to Dominic Kennedy for supporting me with a great bodhrán performance and my wife Daniela Fugger for singing harmonies.

You can find a music video, in which you can see me playing most of the instruments, on YouTube:

Hero's Return

The Vanishing Path is a sonic journey along a trail that slowly fades into oblivion. The track captures the essence of a path dissolving between memory and forgetfulness. With atmospheric soundscapes, powerful basslines, and a profound sense of melancholy, the song tells a story of searching for stability in a world that keeps slipping away.

This track is part of the upcoming album "Tides of Melancholy," a collection of ten pieces that together weave a profound narrative. It tells a tale of loss and hope, of fleeing from darkness and battling to rediscover lost paths. "The Vanishing Path" marks the beginning of a journey, where each track unfolds a new chapter in an emotional exploration of depth and expansive soundscapes.

The captivating harmonies and its dark yet gentle dynamics draw the listener into a world where every step leaves an echo. This album invites you to dive into the tides of melancholy and search for the light amidst the shadows.

The Vanishing Path" ist eine klangliche Reise auf einem Weg, der langsam in die Leere verschwindet. Der Track fängt die Essenz eines Pfades ein, der sich zwischen Erinnerung und Vergessenheit auflöst. Mit atmosphärischen Klanglandschaften, kraftvollen Basslinien und einer durchdringenden Melancholie erzählt der Song von der Suche nach Halt in einer Welt, die sich immer weiter entzieht.

Dieser Track ist Teil des kommenden Albums "Tides of Melancholy", einer Sammlung von zehn Stücken, die zusammen eine tiefgründige Geschichte erzählen. Es ist die Geschichte von Verlust und Hoffnung, von der Flucht vor der Dunkelheit und dem Kampf, verlorene Pfade wiederzufinden. "The Vanishing Path" markiert den Beginn einer Reise, bei der jeder Song einen neuen Abschnitt auf dem Weg durch emotionale Tiefe und klangliche Weite darstellt.

Die fesselnden Harmonien und die düstere, doch sanfte Dynamik ziehen den Hörer in eine Welt, in der jeder Schritt ein Echo hinterlässt. Dieses Album lädt ein, sich in die Wellen der Melancholie zu stürzen und nach dem Licht inmitten der Schatten zu suchen.
Note: This track was entirely composed, performed, arranged, and produced by myself – without the use of artificial intelligence.
Creating authentic music with real emotion and personality is important to me. Thank you for listening and for your support.

Tides of Melancholy

The Vanishing Path

Here is a new composition about the simple fact of loving.  Once again I could find many reasons to Hate, but I choose Love.  It's more pleasant.

Voici une nouvelle composition sur le simple fait d'aimer.  Je pourrais encore une fois trouver de nombreuses raisons de Haïr, mais je choisis l'Amour.  C'est plus agréable.

Embrace the Winter

I'm not too sure how to say this, but I need to. I am not well. I don't know how long I will be able to continue playing the piano. It is getting hard. I have a degenerative neuromuscular disease. It is probably ALS - Lou Gehrigs disease, but they are still doing tests. I can't walk any more ( I can't move my feet) or sit up without a brace and it is getting harder to breath and speak. I often need oxygen. I'm losing my left arm arm - it won't always go to the right piano keys. But I keep pushing. Creating music keeps the brain active and makes me feel like I still have a purpose. Playing the piano has kept my hands and fingers strong, but there are days I can't make it to the piano because I am very weak. I will keep going as long as I can.

All of the music I have written in the last 50 years I have recordings of, along with hand drawn lead sheets and piano scores that I have keyed into musescore for all of the future musicians in my generations to come who might want to play my music. Music is my diary, especially all the songs with lyrics that were written before my time here on SoundCloud. I have been here for 10 years and have made friends with many other musicians. I want to thank everyone who has supported me. It has been a wonderful time for growth when I could no longer play gigs but wanted to keep writing. It is great for senior musicians and for those where music is a creative hobby, not a profession. There is room for everyone. 

I realized after I posted this that I had just used the piano track.  I put different instruments to it and did a new mix. I can't believe I did that.  



Diagnosis Unknown

My music pieces are all piano improvisations expressing emotions. It is music telling stories without the words. In my earIy years I sang and played piano in piano bars or fronted bands of different styles, from country to heavy metal and to 40. I've been composing, teaching and performing most of my life.  I'm getting old(er) now 😔 but the great thing about creating music is it gets better the longer you play, and you have more to write about! 

This is what I leave of me to my generations to come who wonder where their desire to make music comes from. My mother, grandmother and great grandmother were both accomplished pianists when they were young. My son is also exceptional.  My great grandmother and gr grandfather sang and danced in minstrel shows (vaudeville) in the early 1900's. Kids today have no idea what life was like before moving pictures.  I now have great-grandchildren. They will know who I am through my music. When I am gone my music will still be here. What a wonderful thought!
