“My name is Rayne Roberts and I’m a director, producer, and executive at Lucasfilm… Oh, and I LOVE your music.”

This email launched one the highlights of my life, inviting me to work with an incredible team and compose the score for Rayne's stunning short film about love and addiction named "It's Snowing Outside". I then travelled to San Francisco to complete the sound mix at the extravagant Skywalker Ranch with some of the best engineers in the world. The film is currently on the festival circuit, and I am delighted to share this track from the score with you.

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the music!

P.S. This piece comes before "And she translated into the sky" in the film soundtrack, so you may hear some familiar themes mixed in.

Everything Flows

Old Memories

As some of you already know, I'm not too big on social media. Sure, I'll use some of the more popular outlets to share these words on all this music, mostly because I think that's where you all hang out. Sometimes it feels like entering a packed and loud bar and just quietly saying in the corner, "Hey, did you hear about this new album by Akira Kosemura?" and then retreating for the night to my quiet studio, where the noise in my memory of this encounter is finally relieved by the sound of the piano keys. I feel like every year, I make an offhand comment about the insanity of the world, and every year it seems to get a little worse. The news, in particular, appears to be an amplified magnet of defilements intensely blinking for attention at the top of the roof. But I won't comment on the headlines and instead attempt to make my own. Today I am premiering for you a piece from Kosemura's new soundtrack for a film called "Rudy", which is scheduled to be released via his own Tokyo-based Schole imprint on September 15th. This is a beautiful collection of 31 vignettes, where "the piano plays a central role, and the listener is transported by the emotion of the compositions of this internationally acclaimed pianist." The human condition is explored on every single track, with a slightly melancholy, touching, quiet tone, perfectly capturing the overall sentiment of the storyline, whether the images unfold on the screen or in my mind behind closed eyelids. I think you will enjoy this little gem.

Calm Down And Relax

Calm Down Your Feelings

Sleepy Polar Bear - Calm Down Your Feelings

When words fade, the rhythm remains. These songs trace the slow dissolution of language into resonance: syntax crumbles, memory resonates in the grooves. The wave never quite ends. It softens, fades, and then begins again, silently, eternally.

Around the Sun

The Relatively Little House

A new piano sound is here to be explored: the Vertical Concert Grand Klavins M450i. An Everest of sound, a friend commented - she may be right... :-)

Our Una Corda piano has been sampled and is available as a VSTi at Native Instruments - they did a great job, it's fascinating! Also take a look at The Giant from NI, the VSTi of our Model 370 vertical concert grand piano...

Love to express myself on the keyboard now and then, only improvising... sometimes it works out, sometimes not - like real life... :-) Actually I'm a piano builder, not a pianist... ;-)

I'm recording mostly using the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S88 keyboard, Reaper for DAW, and various Native Instruments sound libraries, sometimes live on the Una Corda.

Wish I had more time to explore all the fine musicians here - it's fascinating, always something new and inspirational to find, within the infinite world of music..!

Please be patient with me in case I'm not replying on your comments short term - I'm extremely busy building pianos... I definitely appreciate your remarks, ideas, suggestions, and will get back to you as I can afford..!

Having been on SC since April 2012, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who contributes to this wonderful world of music - all the friends I've made here, and the SC-Team as well..!!
