The Bird's Dream (Gymnopédie n°1)

Ecbatana: Where Empires Were Forged
Journey back to the dawn of history, to the legendary city of seven walls, each a different color shining beneath the sun. Ecbatana wasn't just a city; it was the first capital of an empire, the heart of the Medes, and a jewel in the crowns of the Achaemenid and Parthian empires.

How did this ancient metropolis pioneer such advanced urban systems? This track is a sonic exploration of its lost glory—a musical excavation of the power, wisdom, and ingenuity that echoed through its streets. Listen, and hear the whispers of a city that didn't just witness history… it created it.

Going West (Instrumental)

Song Description – “A Love Fear (Classical Version)” by Dean R. Chandler

Originally composed back in 2003, “A Love Fear” is a piece of music that has lingered with me for over two decades. I could never quite find the right words to match the emotion in the music — that delicate tension between attraction and hesitation, the beauty and the terror of love. So this year, I decided to do something different… I handed the title and theme to AI and asked it to write the lyrics.

It was a bit of an experiment — part curiosity, part surrender — but I have to admit, I’m genuinely pleased with what came back. The AI seemed to understand the feeling behind the music better than I expected, turning my old melody into something poetic and complete. I don’t regret giving it the chance. In fact, I plan to let it finish a few more of my unfinished songs, not to replace my own writing, but to learn from it — to see how it interprets emotion and phrasing in ways I might not have thought of.

This classical version strips the track down to its essence — piano, strings, and emotion. It’s A Love Fear as it was always meant to be heard: fragile, haunting, and honest — a conversation between human feeling and machine interpretation.

MY LOVE FEAR

[Verse]
Her eyes are storms
The quiet kind
A pull so deep
I lose my mind
Her smile a thief
It steals my air
I’m standing here
Do I even dare

[Prechorus]
To take the leap
To cross the line
What if her heart won’t beat with mine

[Chorus]
A love fear
It cuts me in two
The thrill
The fall
What should I do
I’m running toward her
Running away
Will love stay
Will love stay

[Verse 2]
Her voice is velvet
Soft and low
It wraps around me
Won’t let go
But love’s a gamble
Hearts can break
How much of me will this love take

[Prechorus]
A whisper says
Just take the chance
But shadows linger in the dance

[Chorus]
A love fear
It cuts me in two
The thrill
The fall
What should I do
I’m running toward her
Running away
Will love stay
Will love stay

My Love Fear

Fragile

In 1998, pianist and composer Bruno Sanfilippo, along with his wife Ximena Contreras, established their own record label, ad21, as a haven for their creative expression. Since then, ad21 has released over 30 solo and collaborative albums in digital and physical formats, solidifying its position as a cornerstone of the neoclassical music scene.
In 2024, ad21 embarked on an ambitious new venture by opening its doors to pianists worldwide, broadening its platform and artistic outreach. Collaborating with Javier Guglielmi, ad21 aims to foster a record label specializing in neoclassical music, with a particular focus on solo piano performances.
Their vision for ad21 is to create a nurturing environment where artists can discover a supportive community and access the resources necessary to maximize their musical potential. 

Stay tuned for upcoming big news. Demos are welcome.

About

I’m Dean R. Chandler — a London based songwriter, recording artist, and storyteller. My music is rooted in a lifelong search for meaning, weaving together themes of love, loss, faith, alien contact, and humanity’s future.

My upcoming double concept album Human Odyssey (set for release in January 2027) is the culmination of decades of writing and reflection. It’s a narrative journey that begins with a search for God and ends with an encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence — exploring not only what it means to be human, but also where we might be heading as a species. Musically, it draws inspiration from the epic storytelling of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds, the synth-driven edge of Gary Numan, and the emotional depth of artists like Tori Amos and Chris de Burgh.

I previously released Time Machine – Reflecting Shattered Dreams (2014) and continue to revisit my archive of songs written across 35 years, reimagining them with today’s tools and sounds. Some pieces remain intimate and acoustic, while others expand into dark rock, industrial, or orchestral landscapes — but all are connected by a focus on emotional honesty and cinematic storytelling.

Beyond music, I’m fascinated by the intersection of creativity and technology. I’ve been experimenting with AI-driven composition and production to bring old demos to life and to spark entirely new works. For me, these tools are not replacements for human artistry but extensions of it — ways of unlocking stories and emotions that otherwise might have remained hidden.

At its heart, my work is about connection: to the past, to the future, and to the unseen mysteries of existence. Music, for me, isn’t just entertainment — it’s a chronicle of transformation, a conversation between spirit, science, and sound.

My musical journey actually started on the accordion as a kid but eventually I found myself studying classical piano. I got bitten by the jazz bug and ended up developing a pretty broad taste in musical genres. I’ve always been fascinated with Keyboards and synthesizers while still appreciating acoustic instruments. I love arranging and composing, and the satisfaction of ideas in your head becoming songs to others. A big shout out to all those who have contributed and helped make these songs come to life. 

Whether playing solo or in a band, music should always be enjoyable and thought provoking. Any day listening to music is better than any day not!
