Love Tonight

You don't know what love is

It's sevens-should-be-dominant-without-function-and-heels-should-never-be-flat music Friday! Thanks https://soundcloud.com/jeff_roberts for giving inspiration about what to do with a nonsense homeoffice afternoon (was also doing laundry but eventually fell asleep waiting for it).

Lydia Has Seven Flats

Another track from my album "Deliriums" !
This time I tested a little accordion and banjolele in addition to the guitar...
Hope you like it...

Bizarre

I wrote this piece for my uncles 80th birthday. The composition captures various facettes of his life: Coming from (catholic) Austria but settling and living in (protestant) Switzerland, he has throughout his life been actively involved in his church community. So I took a variation of the  ecumenical Taize-song “Bleibt bei mir und wachet mit mir” (Matthew 26:38) as the main theme. The theme is coming up three times, interrupted by various parts that touch on other episodes of his life: his bringing up in the aftermath of WW II, his family life in rural Switzerland or as his classic piano education and subsequent Jazz/Blues/Boogie improvisations which he distributed on CD to friends and family.  My uncle is also the person who nurtured my musical interest by frequent CD gifts and he inspired me to publish my pieces. Thank you for bringing this aspect into my life and happy birthday 😊.

Compositionwise, the piece is relatively straight forward: The main theme comes three times (in the very beginning and in the very end in d minor and after ca 1 min in a minor) with the  first bars stemming from the above mentioned song but then leaving the original version with intermittent parts that resemble the main stations of my uncles life. The other thing I tried to emphasize in this song is a switching between parts with a relatively rigid 4/4 metrum and some intermittent parts with triplets.

A Rich Life (Solo Piano)

With an analog vibe in mind, and inspired by the CERN collider. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way.

There are those that maintain that CERN has open up portals to other realms. An interesting possibility at the very least.

The possibility that there are 9 billion Earth-like planets in our own galaxy (Milky Way) is touched on in the excellent novel 'Bewilderment' by Richard Powers.
Considering the 100-400 billion galaxies estimated in the universe, there may be vast numbers of different life-forms (past or present) around the cosmos. 
Surely some may be generating sound frequencies to excite or entertain others of their kind...or us?
