Name: String Trio, First Movement by Megumi Okamoto
Duration: 2 min 32 s
Description: This movement is constantly shifting and discovering itself as it unfolds, so I didn’t assign a particular key center to this movement; it is like experiencing the world for the first time with fresh senses. It ends inconclusively, leading to the next movement.

Intriguing, enigmatic and haunting. It sounds like a work by a veteran string player with years of experience writing for such ensembles. But the fact that you are a newcomer to chamber music composition who is turning out perfect pieces at Mozart-like speeds is absolutely astounding!!

The atmosphere is wonderful. If this flow is like the movement of your emotions, it feels like building a melody without resistance, focusing on one point and sliding the bow across the strings, moving forward without interruption. I felt a sense of freedom, like a natural breeze.

A Moment in Time

This movement is constantly shifting and discovering itself as it unfolds, so I didn’t assign a particular key center to this movement; it is like experiencing the world for the first time with fresh senses. It ends inconclusively, leading to the next movement.

And now for something completely different..... ;))

A very still contemplation of a summer day.

It's finally some warm summer days after a cold winter and a chilly spring.
It was a day in the shops for us, with a lot of people looking for summer deals, and it was quite nice at first. But the hours passed and the heat pressure increased, and when we finally left my brain felt like it was boiling with all the impressions and voices.

Ripped words and sentences from conversations, children's screams and sometimes crying, the occasional bitter person who threw sour comments around, but surprisingly many were about love in one way or another, which probably belongs to summer, with sun, warmth and joy of life. ;))

To calm my brain, I wanted to try to reflect this day in some form of music, but also with a bit of humor. So I hope this song will make you smile, and maybe you'll recognize yourself.....;))

The day my brain boiled........ ;))

Usually, most of us want some kind of action in life.....and sometimes you just need a break.....

A break from all the superficiality, the gossip, the blaring news feeds.......quite simply from everything that disrupts your everyday lives with an eternal blaring noise. A fog inside, slowly suffocating you.....

You need to catch your breath, and live, feel and experience again......not just exist through life.

So you just leave......no matter to where....you just need the peace, yourself, your thoughts and feelings, to see, hear, smell, taste, feel, whatever it is that heals and cures your mind and soul.....for real again....And to do this....just for you.....

Do you realize how important that is, for your physical and mental health?........

Have a wonderful summer, and live your life well. No one else will do it for you. ;))

Hi! My name is Megumi (my former name was “Lemon” on SoundCloud).

There is nothing more fascinating for me than not knowing what music will come out of me today!

Many of the pieces I upload here are for solo piano. (Some are performed by me, but the performances of the recent uploads are created on Staffpad app on my iPad.) My latest projects are a set of pieces for viola and piano, and 24 preludes & 24 etudes for piano. The scores for these are becoming accessible through the link that is provided in the description of the piece, so please check them out.

I am a classical pianist based in Canada. 
Having completed a master's degree in music theory and a doctorate in piano performance, I am currently teaching and composing. I am also learning viola for fun! I would love to meet and connect with other musicians and get to know your works!
