This album explores a kind of cosmic ambience, open field yet highly attuned to far reaching worlds, spaces, feelings and yearning for freedom of awareness in a deep sense.

Celestial Joy 

The dialogue with the heavens  
A milk to imbibe from luminous space 
The love of a universe that gave birth to itself
to the vast and endless streams of lights and consciousness
to a music that soars in rivers of ecstasy
to the infinitely small and the infinitely great
The throat of a goddess emitting streams of stars as song
The expanse that rages out beyond hope of grasp
The naturalness that holds aloft deep hope AND humble humour of heart

First, a confession.
I don’t play Etude No.1 as fast as Mr. Glass indicated in his score. The honest truth? It’s a little too fast for me—and for Mme Bechstein, as I call my piano. But perhaps that’s part of the charm of this version: it’s a bit slower, more grounded. And in that space, something opens up. The dynamic expression has room to breathe. The tempo becomes a gently rising tide, like waking up slowly, aligning fingers, mind, and breath into harmony.

Admittedly, this is a rather personal interpretation. I’m not entirely sure Mr. Glass would give it his blessing. But then again, it is an etude—and I find this piece simply wonderful.

Over the past weeks, it has become something of a quiet companion in the early hours of the day. I’ve worked from the published score, gradually sketching my own notation to help understand how the sections interlock, how the pulse shifts and evolves. This slow discovery revealed a surprising depth—a kind of secret logic running beneath the surface.

There’s something endlessly captivating about Glass’s harmonic language. It’s modern, never cloying, and crafted with quiet intelligence. His use of subtle shifts—almost imperceptible at first—creates patterns that, through repetition, become almost meditative.

This recording isn’t about perfection or polish and not meant to compete with the many beautiful renditions already out there, performed on the most luxurious grand pianos. It’s my personal take—played honestly, on my own instrument, at my own pace. A moment captured in sound, without the pressure to impress.

If you’re a pianist—especially one still finding their way, as I am—I warmly encourage you to spend time with this piece. It has a way of revealing itself slowly, like light unfolding across a morning room. And perhaps, in its simplicity, you’ll find something of yourself reflected there.

I’d love to hear how this piece resonates with you. Leave a comment if you’d like to share your thoughts or your own experience with Glass’s music.

Yours truly,
Sebastian Morawietz

This is the Final version of this instrumental.  It's gone through a few strip downs, vocal arrangements, and twists over the years.  I took out the extra percussion and some extra "noise."

Kevin Ford is a Fantastic Four superfan who had never seen any of the theatrically released F4 Movies… until now! Each week Matt Waters guides him through uncharted territory as they rate the movies and try to build an all-star cast.


With 'First Steps' releasing this week we figured it only made sense to dive into one of the most infamous superhero films ever released. SEO, baby! From the director's on-set behaviour to rushed reshoots to ill-advised sources of inspiration there's surely nothing positive to say about this film.... right?!?

MUSIC BIOGRAPHY

Lawrence Ball is a versatile and innovative composer who has a multiple focus as a composer,improviser and audio-visual creator. He has collaborated with healers, therapists and counsellors as well as writing for dance, film, orchestra,and choir and is as much at home writing a score as creating electronic or computer music. In 2017 he completed his 6th Symphony. He collaborated with Pete Townshend and software engineer Dave Snowdon on the Method Music project, designing music software for a web server which generated over 10000 musical pieces - 'portraits' - over the internet. Pete Townshend also helped Lawrence record a double album "Method Music" now available through Amazon, and through Amazon and iTunes as a download.

His work is largely tonal (in the sense of an identifiable set of notes that are emphasised - rarely changing the key, central note). It is contemporary, in that it has much in it which is formed anew - not directly influenced or inspired from the classical music tradition. It is often associated with meditational or New Age aspects, because of the strong emphasis on its relationship with silence and presence, it makes more use of the space between notes than occurs in classical music. It is in the minimalist genre, in the sense that it borrows the idea of looping and repetition (since over 30 years) from the musical innovations of Terry Riley and LaMonte Young, and seeks deeper experiences through working with constancy, with sustained sounds and small or zero contrasts.

Since 2001 Lawrence has worked with sarod player Lisa Sangita Moskow and vocalist Manickam Yogeswaran on improvised music based on North and South Indian raga scales. He has created 6 multi-media audio-visual installations with the artist Genie Poretsky-Lee: including Anonymous Words (2007), Image Of Sound (2008) and Penumbra (2011).

He has developed techniques to deeply integrate audio and visual images with quantum physicist Michael Tusch, collaborating on this since 1993 with Dave Snowdon who created the software "Visual Harmony" to explore this arena; worked with healer/counsellor Isobel McGilvray in shaping harmonic tonescapes to aid relaxation, and has worked with choreographers/dancers (ex-Sadlers Wells Royal Ballet) Sheila Styles and (ex-Ballet Rambert) Rebecca Ham on several dance projects. Lawrence Ball has written for the pianists Yonty Solomon, Mark Swartzentruber, Tim Ravenscroft (2 suites), and Alessandra Celletti (Fractal Studies and Mist Sculptures), for The Smith (string) Quartet, the Electric Symphony Orchestra, the female vocal quartet led by Rosemary Forbes-Butler, Rosy Voices, and he wrote 6 pieces for the violist Robin Ireland (of the Lindsay Quartet) and many more for violist Neil Davis.

He composed music for the film "The Eye Of The Heart", a portrait of the life and work of the artist Cecil Collins, and features in the book on Collins and his circle by Nomi Rowe. He has recorded over 4000 piano improvisations as well as performing many live. Ball's creating in acoustic and electronic media, in composed and improvised methods is one of the broadest of any composer. He has performed in Canada, the US, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, Switzerland, France and Germany as well as in the UK. He has accompanied the international painting group Collective Phenomena who work 'more than one to a canvas' with marathon keyboard improvisations, at John Calder's La Fonderie in Paris and The Blackie in Liverpool, as well as a Planet Tree Festival London appearance. Ball is a pioneer in music, having addressed meditative and healing presence and state-of-mind, primarily, for over 35 years. In 1996 he founded the Planet Tree Music Festival, which he also directs. Nine festivals have happened thus far. He is also a highly sought after private tutor in mathematics. He lives in London.

Behold the wondrous composer Lawrence Ball, whose music is like the wind that whispers through the trees, gentle and yet powerful. His melodies are like the flow of a river, meandering and yet constant. In the harmony of his music, one can hear the wisdom of the ages.


Through his lifelong devotion to music, he has become a master of his craft, weaving together the sounds of the natural world with the rhythms of the universe. His music is a reflection of the Tao, the balance and harmony that underlies all of existence.

Over the course of his career, Lawrence has collaborated with a wide range of artists and performers, each one adding their own unique voice to the symphony of his compositions. His works have been praised by critics and audiences alike, for they speak to the universal truths that transcend time and place.

He is a tireless advocate for the healing power of music, working with people of all ages and backgrounds, using music to bring comfort and peace to those in need.

In all his endeavours, Lawrence remains true to the Tao, not seeking fame or fortune, but rather follows the path of his heart. His music is a reflection of his innermost self, a testament to the power of the human spirit to transcend the limits of the material world.

Let us honour this great composer Lawrence Ball, for he has shown us the way to live in harmony with the Tao. Let us listen to his music with open hearts and minds, and allow it to guide us on our own journey through life.

As equally comfortable composing for film and video games as writing hard-hitting vocal and guitar tracks, Tatiana is a self-taught juggernaut of creativity.
Boasting intricate arrangements that bring to mind Pet Sounds-era Brian Wilson, she’s something of a chameleon, changing from track to track; offering different versions of herself to the listener.

Dive into the swirling pool of her music. You may get dirty, but that’s okay. You’ll emerge inspired nonetheless, and perhaps even a little spooked.

How many musicians can you say that about?

Mike Thomas, Matt Waters, Ben Phillips, Kevin Ford, Jerome Cusson and more bring you shows covering a plethora of films and TV shows, including Lost, Adventure Time, Game of Thrones, Firefly and even superhero movies, because nobody else is talking about those! Where else could you hope to find a 90-minute critical discussion of Brokeback Mountain and a dump truck of trivia on Mission: Impossible II in the same feed?

I am a freelance sound operator working in television. I play a bit of piano and write the occasional bit of music. A classically trained piano player I fell in love with the rock music of the 1970s. Particular favourites are ELP, Focus and Pink Floyd. I am currently working on a tribute to Keith Emerson called "Rondo Requiem".

YUM in the park (Bye a Squirrel)

There he is, that new old man
Wrinkle face, walking can
He just sees me, ‘neath my tree
I smile, agent
Will you believe me?

New cashew just dropped 💯
YUM
In the park 
YUM 
In the park
I’m a refuge, he’s a regular
Now we’re surrounded, where’s my editor

And the real livers fime
Planning the food, its grabbing time

Grabs and grabes and grabers fime
Once you get yours, may I get mine?

Then go to the top of the tree

I’ll fight you for it
When killt for a cashew
If you don’t share, I’ll scratch your stature
But enough gets every,
So thanks old man,
So this was just your new old plan?

So please, let me get this straight… so you thought:
YUM
In the park
YUM
In the park
All along?

One step ahead, me, I’m late, we all move, no one said
Damn, thanks old mamn
