excellent work...the orchestration is first rate

Ton imaginaire est remarquable et foisonnant à souhait ! Quant à ta technique d'écriture, au-delà de tout commentaire !

Tes effets orchestraux sont vraiment au service d'une histoire et non de la simple écriture comme chez beaucoup de compositeurs qui n'ont appris qu'à composer.

An epic piece for an epic personality in Conan...and your Grandfather. Beautifully composed with fine tonal color moving from scene to scene with a deft hand.

L'orchestration est toujours parfaitement maitrisée .... ce qui nous permet une évasion totale .... Bien au delà de ton sujet ....

Superb ..... fantastic orchestration !!!!!!!!!!!

oh..you tell his story, nothing can tell a story better than your music so wonderful...and this Bathroom...:)

This is a set of miniature dramatic musical pictures of what we discovered in our grandparents house after they left their house forever. The house contains a lot of history but mostly mysteries. Go see the scene description and the picture in each song to better appreciate the intention behind the music.

Hiding in the attic was Grandma’s belonging and her souvenirs in an old wood trunk. It looks like those insurance policy where contracted in a different century. Do they have any value today and whose life is insured on those forgotten insurance policy?

The Forgotten Insurance Policy

Track 3 of the Album soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-haunted-house
After we found grandma’s belonging and her souvenirs in an old wood trunk, we found Grandpa’s safe. Thank god, Grandpa had the bad habit of using his birthday date as a combination and password on his Commodore 64. We expected to find some old money, a nice leather photo album of his adventures in the deep see and the fish he captured in the Caribbean Sea with his friend Charlie Walton, which we never met by the way. However, we did not expect to find this insurance policy on grandpa’s life and the recipient of the insurance being Charlotte Walton.

In Grandpa’s Henry fishing photo album that we found in the safe, there was all the catch he made along those trips supposedly with Charlie Walton. There was pictures of large fish like halibut, shark, swordfish, tuna, vampire fish, etc. However, only this picture from 1953 was showing two little fish that looked like a nice couple ready for a feast. The hand written note on the back side was quite disturbing and explained why grandpa’s Henry life insurance beneficiary was not grandma. 
The note was: “Charlotte & Henry. Lovers Forever”
Could it be that Grandpa Henry had an affair with Charlotte Walton?

Music Notes: 
The first and second part of this piece is based on a chord progression I made for a jazz song 10 years ago called “Way Down” https://soundcloud.com/user-461764443/way-down
The third part is a set of cameos starting with a melodic 6th as Tchaikovsky used in one of his violin concerto as well as John Williams for the “Princess Leia's theme”,  “Han Solo and the Princess (Love Theme)” and “Marion’s theme”. Then few notes from “Voyage in the bottom of sea” by Paul Sawtell and finally 3 notes from the “White Swan”  again from Tchaikovsky.

Track 5 of the Album soundcloud.com/user-461764443/sets/the-haunted-house
Grandma Margaret was a very good pianist and her Baldwin piano hand painted by artist Alfred Faniel was the living room “piece of resistance”. She was quite overdoing the playing while constantly adding notes and ornaments like the American Pianist Liberace. While playing she was also singing the orchestra parts at the same time but obviously we could not hear the orchestra like she was hearing it. Curiously, now that the house is haunted, each time we come in that living room we hear two movements of her favorite piano concerto from the composer … “Syrel”, including the orchestra that we never heard before.

Grandpa Henry favorite writer was Robert E. Howard. Howard wrote in 1932 “Conan the Barbarian”. Grandpa Henry enjoyed reading Conan’s exciting adventures and imagine all the battles, pursuits and actions while taking his bath. Grandma Margaret did not like having the exciting Conan in her bathroom. However, she enjoyed the two bath setup and the open shower so much that when grandpa was reading one of Howard’s book in the bath facing Conan she was exposing herself back and forth from the bath to the shower and vice versa until Grandpa Henry could not stand the urge of bringing her to the bedroom. Euwww. I think they were doing more than kissing or I wouldn’t be here telling you this story ;o)

Une chanson écrite récemment faisant écho à l'actualité sous la forme d'un danger d'une toute autre ampleur. La voilà inachevée, désaccordée...

Illusion for Piano

Boundary

Solo piano composition with rolling arpeggios on Noire Felt piano with plenty of atmospheric reverb and delay. It's origins date back to the 1980s but has been dusted off and bought up to date for YouTube and SoundCloud and to be shared and hopefully enjoyed. Whilst finalising the track I was trying to decide on the cover art and looking though my various images I found this one by my 10-year-old grand-daughter and it just seemed to fit the composition, so the title "Dawn" was born and an experimental video has been created.

Dawn
