Felt neoclassical solo piano music.
This new composition for piano is like an introspective journey. With a simple melody accompanied by a cascade of notes, almost hypnotic, it delves into the depths of my heart before ascending towards the brightest horizons.

A Shadow's Lament by Pianza | Cover

This piece begins with a hauntingly powerful theme, evoking a sense of introspection and intensity that is characteristic of the C minor key. Inspired by the classical sonata form, the first movement takes listeners on a journey through shifting emotions, from quiet reflection to moments of bold defiance. The harmonies and textures blend seamlessly, creating a dramatic yet delicate soundscape that showcases the power of orchestral color and intricate phrasing. This movement is a testament to the balance between structure and emotion, making it a compelling experience for those who appreciate modern interpretations of classical forms. Enjoy this piece as the opening to a larger narrative, each note carefully crafted to invite listeners into a timeless exploration of the human spirit.

Sonata in C minor I

"Fantasy in B♭ Major" unfolds as a journey through an imaginative and expansive landscape, blending lyrical themes with intricate harmonic exploration. Opening with a serene melody, the piece gradually builds in complexity and depth, inviting listeners into a world where brightness and warmth intertwine with moments of introspection. Rich textures and flowing lines highlight the fantasy element, allowing each phrase to reveal something unexpected and new. This work celebrates the freedom of expression within the classical tradition, drawing on both strength and delicacy to craft an evocative listening experience. Let yourself be carried away by the fluidity of themes, each one a window into a unique musical vision.

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:

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).

As a student I also studied singing and the organ. The study of the organ gave rise to fluency in the performance of 4-part SATB hymnody, church repertoire, and traditional Christmas Carols etc. as well as skill in playing 'lighter' pieces such as the Cuban rhythms in Ernesto Lecuona's 'Siboney' [See-bo-nay] Cuban Carnival Dance or the sheer power of volume in 'Hava Nagila' or the indigenous character of 'Dark Eyes', 'Swedish Rhapsody' and 'El Jarabe Tapatio' etc., all of which appear on this SoundCloud page. (The organ recordings have strong audio signals.)

Also, music such as Morten Lauridsen's 'O Magnum Mysterium' [Mis-tare-ree-um], Peter Warlock's 'Bethlehem Down' and Bob Chilcott's 'The Shepherd's Carol' etc. is played on the piano and appears on this SoundCloud page. 

Whilst I enjoy some music written by composers for the church, I personally find the established institution of the christian church, where seemingly in my experience clergy and church members alike have replaced God with themselves as a prominent figure, to be of detriment to the development and growth of my artistic abilities and musical sensitivity. I am somewhat broadly spiritual but not religious and do not attend church. This in turn allows and gives me the freedom to be the musician that I am and to communicate and compose the music that I do - unadulterated, unalloyed, unsullied and unshackled! Essentially, music that speaks from the heart!

Although now very much semi-retired, I am an experienced music tutor with advanced piano tuition specialty in higher education level and also a composer. 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, (contemporary classical), a set of 45 'mysteries': so-called because of the somewhat 'other-worldly' sound and general ethereal feel of most of the short pieces. The 'mysteries' are open to imagination, and for the listener, may or may not be thought of or conceived in purely musical terms. The 45 'mysteries' for piano are somewhat complex compositions but all have similar construction, manipulation of dissonance and resolution, phrasing and style, yet are distinctly different in essence and character. All 45 'mysteries' can be heard on this SoundCloud page.
- Opus 5, 4 piano pieces dedicated to my wife, Mrs Sandra Spacie.
- Opus 6, Funeral March and 2 piano pieces dedicated in memory of a neighbour.

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.

I'm an independant composer living in France. 

My first project is to work on orchestral material, learn orchestration and play its instruments to tell stories. My orchestral music is largely inspired by the world of Fantasy, video games, soundtrack and also classical music.

The second project is the creation of piano pieces. The piano is the pillar instrument of my artistic expression. In a modern, neoclassical space, I play and I write.

I have gathered my compositions in the these playlists:

Graphic artist, writer, and just a budding musician.

Playing piano is my daily therapy against stress. That also repels the rodents that attempt to squat my attic in winter !

As an insomniac, I mainly play at night. Each improvisation is like a snapshot of my mood and state of mind of the instant.

I record almost everything I play. From time to time one of these improvisations inspires me enough, and I use it as a basis for a composition.

Disclaimer : I deny any responsibility in case of ear bleeds !


Thank you for passing by here and listening to my clumsy experimental works !

Please, don't blame my piano teacher, I had none!
