Illumination Dance Show with presenter CJ and guest Norman Hill on Wednesday 31st Jan 2024.
My Show Illumination Dance Show It’s all about dance music for dancers by dancers. DanceXcess and Illumination Dance have been leaders in innovation with new ideas and concepts, Over the last 21 years, since DanceXcess was formed in 2003. Illumination dance followed on 1st Feb 2014 but was formally known as Expressions from September 2010 DanceXcess and Illumination Dance run in parallel covering Modern Jive, Expressive, Modern Blues, Argentine Tango, classical, and even lyrical music. We aim to give our dancers a range of music, of a variety of genres and tempos, which teases out that more expressive dancer that is deep inside all of us. You might want to fuse your modern jive with other styles, such as WCS, Tango and Blues, letting you vary your mood throughout the afternoon. You may be looking for music that is a little more chilled, or perhaps more lyrical or expressive, giving you the backdrop to dance more ‘musically’ to what you hear.

My dream is a beautiful melody lovingly carrying me on a journey of life. When you close your eyes, I hope you will experience a beautiful journey too!

A Dream

Farewell

“Weirdos” is an anthem for those who live offbeat — the dreamers, the artists, the free spirits who see the world in their own unique way. An electronic journey with ethereal beats and introspective pulses, made for those who dance with open hearts and minds in the cosmos.

🎧 For the different. For the true. For the ones who ask more.



Weirdos

Falling Down is a heartfelt song by Zhake, Noah, and DALILA that dives into the feeling of everything falling apart. It’s raw, real, and speaks to the struggles we all face when life feels overwhelming.

Lyrics like "falling down, the world is falling down on me, crumbling around me, isn't it astounding all the misery" capture that heavy, sinking feeling, while "I'm running out of steam, will this pain lead to evolution? It might lead to evasion; all I know is that I pray for the next generation" shows the search for meaning in the midst of it all. There’s also a glimmer of hope in "Take root in the truth and bloom where I'm test," reminding us that growth can happen even in the hardest moments.

Zhake, Noah, and DALILA each bring something special to the track—whether it’s raw emotion, introspection, or warmth. The song feels like a moment shared between friends, honest and full of heart. It’s the kind of track that stays with you long after you’ve listened.

Benvenuti nella mia pagina! Qui troverete tutte le mie composizioni, spero le apprezzerete! Sono un chitarrista e pianista autodidatta e compongo musica da diverso tempo. Non lo faccio per lavoro ma solo per passione e finalmente mi sono deciso a condividere con gli altri le mie composizioni. Non ho un genere specifico, compongo quello che sento in un preciso momento, provando anche a mischiare i generi, perché non credo nelle categorizzazioni, la musica è una sola. 
Tengo a precisare che non faccio uso di loops, samples o basi preregistrate, tutte le mie composizioni sono frutto di tanta cura che dedico alla sovraincisione di ogni singolo strumento sia reale (chitarre, pianoforte e tastiera) che virtuale (es. archi, percussioni, voci e cori, utilizzando una tastiera MIDI e VST plugins).  
Se trovate il mio lavoro interessante, non esitate a mettere commenti o like e soprattutto seguitemi!

Welcome to my page! Here you will find all my compositions, I hope you’ll appreciate them! I’m a self-taught guitarist and pianist and have been composing music for some time. I don't do it for work but only for passion and I have finally decided to share my compositions with others. I don't have a specific genre, I compose what I feel at a specific moment, also trying to mix genres, because I don't believe in categorizations, there is only the music. 
I would like to point out that I do not use loops, samples or pre-recorded backing tracks, all my compositions are the result of so much care that I dedicate to the overdubbing of every single instrument, both real (guitars, piano and keyboard) and virtual (e.g. strings, percussion, voices and choirs, using a MIDI keyboard and VST plugins).  
If you find my work interesting, please don't hesitate to leave a comment or a like and, above all, follow me!

Welcome friends and to my profile! I hope to celebrate 300 original tracks on Soundcloud this year!  Thank you for listening and helping me in my musical journey. It has been a difficult year for me personally. Yet, musically, I believe I am writing some of my best music.  I am infinitely inspired and humbled by the extraordinary creativity I hear from your music each day and the wonderful friends I have encountered from every part of the world! THANK YOU! I am so very grateful for your support and the gift of music in my life!
 
What Inspires Me...I am inspired each day to compose music that touches and connects the listener in meaningful ways that are personal to their own experiences and feelings.  I believe what the world needs is more songs about love for all living things and the earthly treasures around us. The power of love is magical, mysterious, and miraculous!  And, it is essential to our survival like water and the air we breathe.  I believe that through the universal language of music, love can heal, bring joy, and create an invisible chain that pulls all of us together, not apart.  

A Little About Me...I started composing in 2016  after not touching the piano for many years. A career, raising a family and just every day life got in the way of making music. After retiring as a music teacher in the public schools, I started dreaming of playing the piano again and my years of classical training slowly came back to me. I love every genre of music, and the talent and creativity on SoundCloud has inspired me at every level!

For those of you who follow me on Soundcloud, I have been experimenting with adding tracks to my piano compositions.  I create and record everything myself using a Yamaha 660DGX, including the instrumental tracks built into the keyboard. Then, I edit on my laptop using Sony Sound Forge Music Pro.  It's a simple set up, and I have lots to learn.  I am not afraid of receiving feedback if you have any to give.  Sometimes, it's the most simple thing I may be doing wrong that changes everything!
