Its been a while since I've posted a new composition. I am recovering from surgery on my right thumb; an implant was put in because of joint degeneration. Still playing/composing with 9 fingers...hence the title, plus this is for the Facebook Piano Soundboard Color Challenge. I'm using a piano from #SpitfireAudio, plus sounds from their #LABS series. The art work started out as a phone photo of the scky above my home, and ended up....somewhere else!

Sunrise

SYNC track from my upcoming album, composed entirely using the exquisite FREE Spitfire-Audio-LABS sound-library. This song is inspired by beautiful white lily blossom in full bloom, wafting gloriously through the air on a fine spring day; sunlight dappling through the trees and falling softly upon the warm earth and the faint sound of rustling leaves and birds singing gorgeous siren songs humming tenderly in your ears.

Making Unashamedly Scenic Instrumental Compositions.
NemoralisMusic is a solo project producing instrumental music and video content. It is a showcase of media I have enjoyed creating which I hope you will enjoy experiencing in your own way. I release work, not in the hope that you can experience what inspired me, but in the hope that you can enjoy it in a way I couldn’t imagine.
When you visit an art gallery do you look at the little information plaque before enjoying the work so you can have the finer details explained to you? There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. However I’m interested in the concept of avoiding this. I believe everyone experiences art differently and notices unique details. Will you enjoy the work more, or less, if you take away from it a different message or story than that which the artist intended? Will you find a meaning even if there isn’t one? 
I work mostly alone using a combination of gut feeling,  musical theory and mathematics. I like to allow irrelevant details to make decisions in my writing process. I revel in the idea that this way, there are less decisions to make and that you may discover more than if you overthink things.
