Created by Björn Groos: "This is my second contribution to Pianobook: the Pleyel Felt.
The piano itself was built sometime in the Seventies. It has seen a number of homes and now leads a peaceful life in my living-room.
Due to its small height, the piano serves as a perfect stepping stone for the cats, jumping up to their hiding place, high up on the wall, but it also lacks some bass. Its tonal character is very soft, with little attack, but it really shines in ‚night mode’ – with the felt engaged, which is what I sampled.
I used two AKG C1000s and recorded two dynamic layers, release triggers and pedal noises. I programmed the sample-instrument using David Hilowitz‘s excellent Kontakt template, which allows for realistic behavior of release triggers and pedal noises.
As an extra you get a ‚Sustain‘-knob, which holds the notes for quite some time. It is also possible to play just the Sustains, without the actual notes, great for organic ambient sounds!
I hope the Pleyel Felt is of use to you and I‘d love to hear, what you create with it.
Have fun!"

Intermezzo is a dreamy, improvisation-like track, that evolves in an organical manner. It has tender, soft, emotional qualities that makes it perfect for any yoga, pilates or meditation session, or even as background music for work. The track uses some of the great LABS synths from Spitfire Audio.

Rainy Days - Intermezzo

This is a demo track made with Hunter's Percussion - World from pianobook, (a free) instrument https://www.pianobook.co.uk/library/hunters-percussion-world/
Also uses scary flautando violin, winter voices, and confinement celeste from pianobook.
The bass is from spitfire alternative solo strings
I also tried to fatten it out using an approach (within daw) showed here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_GJu6CHsWE
and also testing the shit out of the limiter.
This is the first time I've tried to make something percussion driven/beat-like in a while and I've always had trouble just getting it to pop out of the speakers.. I think I was helped out a bit by the djembe not being too subby, but I think it's loud enough.

I wrote this song after I had joined a Zoom call from Intensive Care colleagues in Italy during the height of the COVID pandemic. 
I was particularly shocked about the silent suffering of relatives not being allowed to visit their loved ones and the fear of bringing the unknown and potentially lethal virus into our own homes and to our loved ones at home.  
The war in Ukraine yet again leaves me speechless. 
I have no words for this world gone mad. 
Although it is so important that we all speak up and stand up for the truth, against aggression and war, and for peace. 
I hope that there will be better times to come eventually. 
Please support the Ukraine red cross by donating.

Lockdown by Gerry O'Connell

A Worldwide pandemic, man we didn't plan it
A new disaster on this fragile planet
Everybody listen, praying for each other
The Government and NHS really need some Jesus power

Chorus
Lockdown we're in Lockdown
Staying safe in Lockdown
Lockdown we're in Lockdown
Save your town in Lockdown
Save the world in Lockdown

Hold onto your horses 
Hang on to your hope 
I tell you something 
To help you all to cope 

Chorus

Wash your hands and play it cool
Help each other and obey the rules
Social distance, don't be a host
This pesky virus will soon be toast

Chorus

We gonna stop this deadly virus, in its tracks
Live Under His shadow, and it won'tcome back
Corona virus cannot bring me down
Jesus Christ loves the world and He wears the Crown.

Chorus

On the Ocean showcases everything from lush string swells to soaring vocals packed with raw emotion and depth.

On The Ocean

Eagles takes a new look at a familiar image from the Bible, rise up on wings like Eagles
lyrics
The mighty eagle flies so high
You couldn't see him with the naked eye
Above the mountains he loves to soar
He flies where others haven't flown before

Even youths grow tired and weary
And young men stumble and fall
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength
They will soar on wings like eagles
