une toute petite rêverie dédiée à l'enfance, nostalgie de ces premiers morceaux qu'on apprenait au piano, juste après "la Méthode rose"...

‍Enfantine 8 Pavane pour une poupée ancienne

"Everything seems an echo of something else.

And when, by the hair, the headsman held up the head
Of Mary of Scots, the lips kept on moving,
But without sound.  The lips,
They were trying to say something very important.

But I had forgotten to mention an upland
Of wind-tortured stone white in darkness, and tall, but when
No wind, mist gathers, and once on the Sarré at midnight,
I watched the sheep huddling.  Their eyes
Stared into nothingness.  In that mist-diffused light their eyes
Were stupid and round like the eyes of fat fish in muddy water,
Or of a scholar who has lost faith in his calling.

Their jaws did not move.  Shreds
Of dry grass, gray in the gray mist-light, hung
From the side of a jaw, unmoving.

You would think that nothing would ever again happen."

-Robert Penn Warren

Slowing Down
A quiet piece for strings, piano, harp, and vibraphone — meant to offer a breath of stillness. Written as a reminder to appreciate the present moment, whether after adventure or amid the pace of daily life.

LYRICS-

Verse 1:
Ex mundo in mundum, somnia evanescunt,
Quis sum? Quis ego? Vox mea tremit.
In somniorum regno vivo,
Via obscura est, et cor labitur.

Chorus:
O lux, veni ad me,
Oculi mei desperant,
Mors aut vita sine lumine,
Solus sum, solus in tenebris.

Verse 2:
Parietibus realitatis titubo,
Manus tangunt vacuum,
Nescio quo iter sit,
Auditus meus clamat silentium.

Chorus:
O lux, veni ad me,
Oculi mei desperant,
Mors aut vita sine lumine,
Solus sum, solus in tenebris.

Bridge:
Omnes relinquerunt, iter meum desertum est,
Cor meum vocat sed nihil respondet.
Flammae somniorum ardent in corde,
Sed umbrae victrices sunt.

Chorus (Final):
O lux, veni ad me,
Oculi mei desperant,
Mors aut vita sine lumine,
Solus sum, solus in tenebris.

Outro:
Somnia evanescunt,
Quis sum? Quis ego?
In tenebris vivo,
Sed lumen quaero.

O lux

"The Cartographer" is a classical journey through time, inspired by a young dreamer who grows into an astronomer, mapping the stars one chart at a time. Brass, strings, and delicate piano evoke candlelit nights among star maps and orreries, where twilight fades into starlight. This piece captures the reverence of discovery and the timeless human desire to chart the heavens.

The Cartographer

Autumn is fast moving into early winter and the days are getting shorter. Even after living in Finland for over 50 years I still dread November. It's the darkness that gets me, before the snow arrives.

The inspiration for this piece comes from my love of composers such as Erik Satie and Arvo Pärt.

The Cello I added after I had played the piano part. I had just bought the sample pack and the tone begged me to let it play with the piano.

I would like to thank Spitfire Audio LABS+ for creating the Ultra Soft Piano as well as the Emotional Cello sample libraries. Without them "Soft Landing" would not have happened.

Cover Art: I took th photograph in Málaga two years ago.

Soft Landing

For ten days I'm in RELOAD mode, reworking all my creations from the past twenty days and transforming them into a different musical universe
The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track ready for Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

I am retired and while away my time composing music, writing flash fiction and taking photographs.
I live in Lahti, Finland.

Amateur de musique, de philosophie, de poésie, je n 'ai pas d'autre culte que l'amitié. J'aime écrire et mettre en musique, j'aime mélanger les genres, et mon piano aux boucles pour étoffer l'un, vivifier les autres, les déranger parfois. La musique ne connaît pas de barrière, sauf de corail!

"You have spoken the answer.
A child searches far sometimes
Into the red dust
    On a dark rose leaf
And so you have gone far
    For the answer is:
        Silence."
-Carl Sandburg
