The Piano Cloud Winter Landscape Challenge, needed more than musical talent, it required me to ignore my Southern Hemisphere hot surroundings & dig extremely deep to find snow! We have some high mountains in Australia that get snow on their peaks a few months a year, but nothing like you get overseas, so the first time I really saw snow heaped up & falling from the sky in an urban area, was on a visit to my Oma in Germany. For that reason, this sparse piano tune is called "Schnee Gefallen", which just means the snow has fallen. It tries to capture that really quiet sound made by the flakes falling & unlike other weather patterns, it has a very still atmospheric ambience.

The second collaboration between myself and Dirk. Hope you are going to enjoy this different approach.

Imagine looking out from a cafe window as you’ve got a few minutes to yourself, while everyone else cracks on with their life outside.

fenêtre de café

A cinematic instrumental holiday album that bathes the season in late-Romantic grandeur and intimate hearthside warmth. Soaring violins, cascading harp arpeggios, and lush orchestral swells evoke the emotional world of Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky, reimagined through a modern ambient lens.

Each track unfolds like a winter rhapsody — from the glow of a crackling fireplace to snow drifting beyond frost-touched windows — blending classical lyricism with immersive sound design. Gentle seasonal textures, distant bells, and warm room ambience create the feeling of a quiet Christmas night where memory, romance, and reflection meet.

Designed for deep listening, relaxation, and cinematic escape, Fires of Winter is both a tribute to the great Romantic tradition and a contemporary holiday soundscape for fireside evenings, winter drives, and timeless seasonal reverie.

A little/ long improvisation. Literally the raw almost 7 minutes of me playing piano. Why? Because why not!
