A unique sound universe, Lenn. You have a gift for turning an abstract idea like duality into a clear, authentic melody. A very grounding and harmonic New Age piece. 🎹

Excellente piste 👍👏👏😊😉🌹😍😻💕🙋👏👏

A truly magical track! So original, so colourful!

A beautiful piano and harmony. Just as light becomes clearer in shadow, they support each other. Perhaps darkness longs for light, and light longs for darkness. As if each yearns for something they do not have. If the freely moving piano is light, then harmony is shadow.

"Black & White give us a sense of duality like Yin and Yang, the good and the evil..
Two opposites to each other...
References and part of the search of balance in everithing...
Harmony like the keys of piano or the dance of serveral dancers...
Character like a filter of image or video...
Only Black & White? No shades!...
Unique, relevant, essential...
The starting point of everything...
A return of the essence of  forms and lines".

A modern Piano - New Age composition.

Propitiation

Called in dismay
And you heard my pain
With you on my side
Who could be afraid?

Was about to fall
Then I heard your call
Your words of living truth
Will never pass away

[chorus]

He is my strength
And our redemption
Better to trust in Him
Than to trust in man

He is our hope
And our salvation
Better to trust in Him
Than to trust in man

Right hand exalted
Wrought with power
Everlasting mercy
endures today

His propitiation
Is our salvation
He is the gate
the righteous way

[chorus]

This is the day
The Lord has made
hearts are remade
In His holy name

Thank Lord Jesus
For He is good
And His mercy
Forever endures

Propitiation

I hope this song reaches your heart. 
Thank you so much for listening.

This is an original track.
I recorded the guitar, bass, piano and drums myself. Some elements like certain string parts, ambient sounds, and subtle adjustments were programmed using MIDI — although some of the string sounds were also played and recorded using an electric piano.
This track features vocals by Koharu Rikka (小春六花), a singing voice synthesizer.


The lyrics are as follows:

見えない心を抱いて
凍えた夜を温めて
途切れ始めた記憶を
繋ぎとめようとしてた

いつもより明るい日が
夢のなかで感じた日が
やって来ると信じながら
時が過ぎるのを待った

あぁ　偶然出会った時にあなたは
嬉しそうに寂しそうに微笑んだ

悲しみのない気持ちに
感じたはずの気持ちに
もう一度だけ出会えたなら
きっと幸せになれる

あぁ　こわくて辛くて寂し過ぎて
気持ちだけが先に進むあなたへ


The English translation is as follows:
-----
Holding an unseen heart,
I tried to warm the frozen night.
I reached for fading memories,
Trying to keep them from slipping away.

Brighter days than usual,
Those I once felt within my dreams 
Believing they would come again,
I waited as time went by.

Ah… when we met by chance,
You smiled — so happy, yet so lonely.

If I could once more
Feel the feelings I thought I’d lost,
Meet the heart untouched by sorrow,
Then maybe I could be happy again.

Ah… to you, who’ve been afraid, in pain, and lonely,
yet still let your heart move forward toward the light.

-----

Letters to the Light

[I accidentally removed the track. Sorry about that - those who have already listened can just move on].
Unfortunately, the connection has dropped, and we cannot be sure what is happening in the apartment where, at such a late hour, the light is still on. Probably nothing; they’re likely watching a film or reading a book. They might be projecting their reactions outward, and what we see could therefore be nothing more than the reflection of someone else’s nightmares — or dreams. Certainly, we have now reached a turning point: nothing can any longer be regarded as real, or the opposite... (all talk!).

This is the fifth in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

In case nothing happens - part 5 (night again)*

I was inspired by the recent "No Kings" demonstrations when creating this.

SONG NOTES:
This song reflects my growing awareness of the incomprehensible nature of a star in the sky, which has captivated the imagination of humanity since the dawn of time. All that amazing energy, captured in a little word of just three letters, the sun. 
LYRICS:
Such a little word “the sun”
With all its mystery 
Yet, without the sun my friend
Where oh where would we be?

With colours that glisten and dance all around
As far as the eye can see 
Without the sun tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be 

For who can say how it does what it does 
Painting the sky so blue
As pretty a picture as I’ve ever seen
Oh the things the sun can do

The years come and go like the ocean tide
But is time ever what it seems?
Without the sun, tell me my friend
Where oh where would we be?

Chorus

A Little Word

ed sheeran- Kiss Me, Slower Ballad Cover

My first Christmas song! This was originally intended to be just a series of improvisations on Prokofiev's Troika ( Sleigh Ride ) but then I got the idea of bringing in a space theme. So I started thinking about the Apollo 11 moon landing and worked this in. I’m not quite sure how, but Neil Armstrong has ended up providing the main vocal hook - hence the extra title in brackets! There’s a hint of Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss about the brass section. I added the actual Strauss motif in the fade out just because….well, it’s meant to be a jolly festive song so why not?It was a whole heap of fun adding all the effects and touches to create that spacey and festive vibe. I hope you enjoy it and, obviously, have a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Sleigh Ride to the Moon (One Small Step)

You Reimagined is a fresh take my original track You, now re-recorded with new piano elements for a warm, emotive Christmas release. The reimagined version brings a renewed sense of intimacy and reflection, blending melodic depth with the seasonal spirit while keeping the signature progressive touch that defines Guy Rich’s sound.

You (Reimagined)

A holiday homage to Sally’s guardian angel

Keyboards, synthesizers, piano are the brushes to paint my musical vision. I don't limit myself to a genre: my ideas are shaped in multiple sound universes, creating each time something unique and authentic based on the idea I have in mind, contaminating but also sometimes experimenting. This is me.
