No Matter What I End Up Thinking About You

It doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing, I still here you in my head.

The Lullaby That Is You (in 12-8)

The Lullaby That Is You

Just because they aren't said doesn't mean they aren't true.

All The Words I Wish I Would Say

Even when you make yourself distant, I will be there for you.

Op. 10, No. 2. Recessional Wedding March in E major (composed for friends). 

Composed and Played by Dr Michael Spacie. Copyright ©

Both the Processional ('going in') and Recessional ('going out') Wedding March in D major and E major respectively, make extensive use of △7 (+9th) within the orbit of the key but particular enhancement of the timbre of tonic harmony which as a result gives out a contemporary classical feel and clear brightness of sound inherent in such additions of beautified dissonance to diatonic chord patterning along with effectiveness through manipulative tension from and to consonant chord shapes and a harnessing to rhythmic figurations, dotted or otherwise, contribute added emotional poignancy befitting of the music, likewise does the use of appoggiatura and melodic invention with underpinning chord progression of contrasting tone colours.

Dynamic structure enhances the presence of the main themes with interpolated reflective episodic/bridge writing giving rise to a balance of tone, structure and musical sonority whilst a generated and resolved tension curve on phrase shapes gives out an indigenous character and mood without any loss of the overall March style allowing something of spirituality in sound, inside or outside a wedding context.

Welcome to my SoundCloud page and a variety of audio recordings. A good set of headphones is advantageous and recommended for listening. To continue reading, please click 'Show more' below:

Please note: click on any audio track for details about the music. 

My first piano lesson was on my tenth birthday and ever since, the piano has been a life-long study with a pursuit of classical music. By 18 years of age I was able enough to achieve Grade 8 piano with distinction from The Associated Board of The Royal Schools of Music as well as Grade 8 Theory of Music (Grade 8 being the final student Grade) and at the time, quite rapidly discovered that Grade 8 was not the end but just the beginning in terms of musical skill and musical development and knowledge.

Post Grade 8 and after further study I achieved two piano performance diplomas (ALCM) and (DipABRSM), I then went on to be successful with the highly demanding and prestigious Licentiate of The Royal Schools of Music Piano Performance Diploma Examination (LRSM) which is recognized the world over; the LRSM examination involved the performance of demanding repertoire, an extensive viva voce of verbal questioning and also, in my case for the 'Quick Study', a previously unseen baroque-style whole Gigue to prepare and perform with only 5 minutes preparation time; there are several examiners assessing live and the whole exam was audio recorded to ensure a rigour and standard appropriate to holding the LRSM. 

Also, I am twice piano performance Licentiate of Trinity College London (LTCL) with different repertoire, and twice piano performance Licentiate of The London College of Music at The University of West London (LLCM) with different repertoire; this along with other music successes including an academic FLCM (Fellow of The London College of Music) - some of my academic study in music being with the London College of Music at the then Thames Valley University. 

My qualifications in music are as follows:
LRSM (Piano Performance), LTCL (Piano Recital), LTCL (Piano Recital), LLCM (Piano Recital), LLCM (Piano Performance), DipABRSM (Piano Performance), ALCM (Piano Performance), LVCM(Hons) (Piano Performance), FLCM (Diploma in Music Literacy – Research Thesis (Music)), FVCM(Hons) (Musicology (by Thesis)), FVCM(Hons) (Composition), BA(Music), MMus, PhD(Music).

I am an experienced music tutor with advanced piano tuition specialty at higher education level as well as experience in teaching all levels of piano from absolute beginner to performance diploma standard with excellent learner results. 

I have also studied the organ and singing and I also enjoy conducting. In addition, I am an established composer of piano music. My own original piano compositions consist of the following which can all be heard on this SoundCloud page: 
- Opus 1, Reflections Series 13 piano pieces.
- Opus 2, 4 piano pieces dedicated to my wife, Mrs Sandra Spacie.
- Opus 3, 4 contemporary piano pieces.
- Opus 4, A set of 45 Mysteries which have something of an 'other-wordly' sound and ethereal feel. They can be used for general relaxed listening and enjoyment, meditation and spiritual life or to ponder the mysteries of the Universe.
- Opus 5, 4 piano pieces dedicated to my wife, Mrs Sandra Spacie.
- Opus 6, Funeral March in C minor and 2 piano pieces dedicated in memory of a neighbour.
- Opus 7, O Tannenbaum [O Christmas Tree]: Variations and Faux Bourdon Composed by Dr Michael Spacie and Finlandia by Finnish Composer Jean Sibelius: Chorale Variations and Faux Bourdon Composed by Dr Michael Spacie.
- Piano Solo Arrangement: Cantique De Noël (O Holy Night) by French Composer Adolphe Adam.
- Opus 8, Funeral March in D minor dedicated in memory of two musical associates.
- Opus 9, A set of 12 Rhapsodies for the piano.
- Opus 10, No. 1. Processional Wedding March in D major composed for friends.
- Opus 10, No. 2. Recessional Wedding March in E major composed for friends.

I was lucky enough to purchase a hand-crafted acoustic upright 'Welmar' piano manufactured by the piano factory Whelpdale, Maxwell and Codd, London. It has a delightful responsive touch and 'warm' sound and resides in my dedicated home music studio.

Each item digitally recorded by me was done in one ‘take’ without any technological tweaking per se. Also, a big thank you to all those many listeners who have 'liked' tracks. Statistics are not displayed publicly as all tracks are then presented equally as pieces of music. I like to let the music speak for itself and communicate accordingly. 

I hope to share more music with you on my SoundCloud page in the future.

Regarding composition, this is a lifetime's study and requires much practice to be musically satisfying. Imagination and creativity require quiet contemplation with experience and knowledge of technique in so much as how to play the notes composed in order to produce the best possible sound. My original compositions featured on this SoundCloud page portray self-expression and some insight into the world of harmony sometimes manifesting a musical colouration with mainly diatonicism peppered with some chromatic detail giving rise to various energy levels through dissonance and resolution: there are basic chord shapes which are altered; clusters giving beauty of sound; various tensions arising from chords and melody outside the key centre whether specific or vague and unusual combinations of chords and harmony with an effective intervallic structure. Some of the pieces are evocative and somewhat lyrical whilst others create a mood which is timeless and calming, yet other pieces are haunting, being restrained and subtle. The rhythm can vary from being completely free to measured with some 'rubato' flexibility. Any bar lines are not necessarily part of the mix with a natural accentuation in phrasing often indicating a surreptitious rise and fall of tone levels. The damper pedal gives at times an 'extra-wordly' feel and makes use of the harmonics and overtones which in some instances add atmosphere, mood and character, often giving rise to a combination of sophistication and simplicity of musical content with a feeling of an ebb and flow where nothing is static but an ever changing scene with space for individual freedom and emotion within a framework of appeal and accessibility for the listener.

My name is Alexei Surovykh. I have been writing music for over 25 years. I also teach musical theory and composition at school. I was born and live in Ukraine.

Max Breuer crafts music that lingers in the spaces between sound and silence, blending solo piano, textural ambient landscapes, and downbeat songwriting. Drawing inspiration from deep emotions, art, and the unspoken moments between words, his work evokes a sense of raw intimacy and cinematic depth. Max weaves together rich sonic textures—where melancholic melodies meet haunting atmospheres, and every note feels like a fleeting memory.

Whether through sparse piano pieces, immersive ambient compositions, or deeply reflective songs, Max Breuer invites listeners into a world of introspection and feeling—where music speaks when words fall away.
