I've recorded lots of tunes where I have added many layers of instruments to broaden the sound, but having just listened through tunes on "Piano Cloud", I thought I'd get back to my roots & switch off the lights, press record & just play! Ashes is the result.

A Day In Venice - Piano Solo - on spotify http://open.spotify.com/artist/25SRM5wLczZ3uTLcVXRoe7

I was finally able to sit down and improvise last night. These are what came out. I do hope you enjoy. Much love as always. 

Now praise the Lord,
all you servants of the Lord
who stand in the Lord’s house at night!
2 Lift up your hands in the holy place
and praise the Lord!
3 May the Lord,
Maker of heaven and earth,
bless you from Zion.
                                   -Psalm 134

Movement 2

It is mid September and the first cold rain is falling. A sure sign that the hot days of summer are over. There will still be a few more warm days of sunshine before the autumn leaves begin to change, but the hot lazy afternoons of mid summer, are most certainly finished for this year.

Last Day Of Summer

Elise

A "dreaming" instrumental electronic music with 3 pianos (at left, center and right positions of the scene) saying different phrases simultaneously... followed by synths and drums.
I used a few arpeggios that I created and liked in my recent songs as musical presences in this new music, now with new melodies and poetry... Yes, poetry. Without lyrics, but each note, each arpeggio, each chord... talks to each other... and to us in a real musical dialog... and it says a lot about emotions, love and care...

Made with Fruit Loops 11
BPM: 72
Tonics: A C G D

Am, C, G and Dm... and finishing with Am, F, G, Em.

From the start to near the end I used only my favourite and usual progression "Am-C-G-Dm".  I finish with "Am F G Em" chords.   :-)

Produced from Nov 25 to Nov 28, 2014

"Erstes Frühlingserwachen" (engl.= First Spring Awakening) on my piano... :)

Listen and get a glimpse at the first days of spring... I tried to capture my thrill of anticipation for the warm and sunny days and the hundreds of early flowering plants in my garden...
