SBBG - My Naam is Biely (Official Audio)

“Onder Papegaaiberg” is pure piano. The piece looks at the town Onder Papegaaiberg, located in Stellenbosch, in the Western Cape of South Africa. The town is part of the Cape Winelands District. It is one of many places we lived when I was a kid.  Thinking of the stories my parents told me of those years bring warm and happy feelings to my mind.  The music offers a happy and peaceful aesthetic. The piece consists of three piano sound files and the A major scale/mode was used to create it. 

Enjoy and remember, there is always more music coming!

Sean Botha is back with new music, after taking an 8 week break. Donker Kontinent, translated into English means Dark Continent. The title of the piece was inspired by the song "Reispsalm" recorded by South African artist Laurika Rauch. The song calls us back to Africa, specifically South Africa, Sean's country of birth. 

Donker Kontinent, does exactly that, it takes you back to Africa and carries with it a deep connection with the binary rhythm of life. The piece was designed using multiple drumming and other percussive sounds. The track includes the Australian Didgeridoo, timpani and the djembe. Enjoy the track and keep an ear out for more percussive music over the coming months.
