This is my last song here for awhile,, going to take a break from SC till I don´t know.

Hope the changes they make to this site will start to move away from mass streaming back to nurturing a community of independent musicians.

Goodbye SC

It's always pure magic when nature creates abstract art using only water, air, and sunlight. There is really some epic beauty to be found in nature, even in the simplest and most humble things. What a wonderful gift we have all been given to be a part of this world. I hope we all learn to value it as deeply as we should, and protect it for future generations...

"Autumn Rains" is the second installment in a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This trio represents Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may help you on your journey, as it has us...

"Autumn Rains" is music inspired by the spirit of Agape. It is an album dedicated to the concept of spiritual love and universal compassion clothed in the metaphor of transcendental natural beauty. It is an album that simultaneously expresses deep love for both the creator as well as the creation. It is said God gave us music so that we could pray without words. It could be added that nature was provided as an example of exactly how to do this effectively. In this spirit, Autumn Rains is a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to learn from the natural beauty of this world, and an expression of a sense of respect for the inescapable universal equality that nature imposes. It humbly attempts to capture deep feelings of awe, granduer, idealism, and a belief in the innate goodness of the world even when we all face exceptionally hard lessons.

Today I hate my country, really detest what is going on. I work as a church organist and there is so much hate speech going on agains the church that I´m seriously considering changing places. Other things are also disgusting here but enough of that.

On the positive side my music for a short film was voted best score on a film festival in USA,,, thats something I guess.

But in times like this it´s good to have a few happy places when things are like this.  First one is my grandparents farm (picture),, Ytri Tunga Tjörnes,  where I feel I´m at home,,   second is Goldberg suite by Bach,, when I listen to the aria played by Glenn Gould I go to a happy place,,  third is letting all go and make music and fourth is being with people I love,  and thats my best place.  When I manage to combine some of these elements I manage to clear my mind, and this piece here is something like that. You can hear some elements of Goldberg in it I hope.

Thank you all listeners, commenters and friends on Soundcloud for being part of my happy place. Feel free to download and I hope this music brings you also to my happy place.

Sometimes it's possible to get through dramas in our life on our own, but there are times that we need to ask for that "Helping hand". This can be a difficult thing to admit, for some of us & this solo piano improvisation, is a reflection of these feelings put to music.

I put a lot of work behind this one, strings can be a pain and my MBP was fuming with the samples at times.

Hope you enjoy this one, I´m pretty proud of the result.
