Circle of Dream (Op.5 No.11)

"Naivete" by Josiah Austin is a gorgeous, thoughtful piano piece that showcases his delicate touch. Depicting the fragile beauty and unaware vulnerability of naivete, it captures the essence with a delicate and heartfelt melody, evoking a sense of innocence and wonder. It’s an ideal track for fans of modern classical and contemplative music. With over 810k YouTube channel views and recognition by Nils Frahm via his Piano Day playlist, Josiah is a rising star in the modern classical piano world.

''This piece was born after a studio session with artist Hideyuki Hashimoto, who lives in Shikoku Prefecture in Japan. Shikoku is one of the islands in the Japanese archipelago, which has 88 important pilgrimage sites (like the # of keys on the piano :). The song took its shape organically from the historic atmosphere of the island, the peaceful vibe of Hideyuki and his family, and the gentle waves seen from Olive Park nearby.'' - Hiroko Murakami @hiroco-m

''The piece began from an improvisation intended to create a spacious soundscape where different chords blend harmoniously. Improvisation plays an important role in my creative practice and wellness routine, and I have explored its power in music therapy. I hope this soothing take brings you the same sense of peace and calm as it did for me.'' - Jozef De Schutter

Håpefull

Ole-Bjørn Talstad - Håpefull

A very good and beautiful feeling to the holy country of America and walking in the streets of Manhattan, New York, as well as frequently seeing the beautiful American flags on the sidewalks, Created this melody in my subconscious mind.
This melody really stirs my emotions,
This melody is actually the gateway to the paradise of my dreams . . .
I hope you enjoy this song very much.

Above the Clouds

Lovers USA (Piano Version)

This piece began its life in Nat Bartsch's soundtrack for the Australian documentary ‘Whatever Scares You’. The coming-of-age film centers around a young protagonist named Breanna who discovers she is neurodivergent. In a scene Breanna joins Nat at the piano and learns of Nat’s own experiences of neurodiversity. The piece seeks to capture Breanna’s vibrancy, determination, naiveté and vulnerability, qualities Nat also sees in herself. We hear Nat's jazz influences on the piano, infused with ethereal and minimalist textures.
