This is a new and extended version of a song I uploaded some time ago (https://soundcloud.com/user-630984439/silent-dream).

I composed and recorded this version while I made a YouTube video with pictures taken this summer on Costa da Morte, Spain, because I think the music suits the pictures quite well. See the video on https://youtu.be/GCg8dhP8Z5s

Costa da Morte

"In the Beginning" is about the first steps towards accepting the reality of a devastating diagnosis, and the desire to create a new identity after going through such a life-changing experience. the bittersweet melody of the trumpet reflects the deep emotions associated with this inner struggle to move forward, and reluctance to leave the past behind.

In The Beginning

My latest composition - for a dramatic escape chase scene.

The Escape

Dedicated to acclaimed pianist Lemuel Grave, ‘Waltz Awaiting’ was written as a gesture of thanks for the interest he has shown in my music, and for performing it.

The pianist in this instance is Jeanell Carrigan

Dr Jeanell Carrigan AM is presently an Associate Professor in Collaborative Piano at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Sydney. She has performed as a soloist, chamber musician and accompanist in Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and throughout Australia, and has recorded for the Bavarian Radio Corporation, the ABC and for regional stations in Australia on many occasions. She holds a Doctor of Creative Arts in the area of Australian post-1970 solo piano repertoire and in May, 2016 released her seventeenth solo compact disc of Australian piano music. She is passionate about promoting Australian Music particularly the piano music of Australian women composers. In a review of the CD A Little Variation, composer Houston Dunleavy said “This recording is one to add to the list of treasures of Australian music that seem to be growing by the year. Surely Jeanell Carrigan belongs in this category as well. Australian music has a great champion in Carrigan’s fine playing and scholarship. She deserves far wide recognition for the quality of her work.” (Music Trust 1/4/15)

Recorded in August/ September 2017 in Verbrugghen Hall at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.

The piano was the Fazioli concert grand tuned and maintained by David Kinney.

Waltz Awaiting (Piano Solo)

Decided to get back to what got me into writing for films in the first place, orchestral adventure scores! 

So in this piece I've try to encapture themes of wonder, danger, action, heroism and beauty.

Hope you enjoy! :)

Soulless Son

My daughter and I made this melody about 5 years ago. It was kind of “formal “ song. I arranged this as “funny” one this time and she was not quite happy at first.  But I beg her and beg her and beg her, finally she said OK to release this and did the drawing for this.

Ton Coeur Tralala

A Collection Of Calidiums

Every night I scream
I can't see you, I can't feel you, I can't  go on
Far across the distance
Big space between us
You never come,  I can't go on

Near, far, wherever you are
I know that your heart is long gone dear
Nevermore will you open, open my door
Maybe you're here in my heart
But my heart is cold
Baby you're here in my heart
But my heart is cold

Love touched us one time
Is one time enough?
I gotta drive on
Safe to say I loved you
Polaroids I cling to 
Safer said, I gotta move on

Near, far, wherever you are
I know that your heart is long gone dear
Nevermore will you open, open my door
Baby you're here in my heart
But my heart is cold

You're not here
There's nothing I fear
Though I know that your heart won't go on dear
We'll stay forever away
Baby you're here in my heart
But my heart is cold

*COLD* (MOAG/MidiPunk Collaboration)

A collaboration with a fellow bedroom producer. Although, Emily gets out much more now that she's dead.
Lyrics by Emily Dickinson

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through -

And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum -
Kept beating - beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb -

And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again,
Then Space - began to toll,

As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I, and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here -

And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down -
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing - then -

I Felt A Funeral, In My Brain

It's gonna be all right

[Don't look back] I'm not proud but its real
[Don't look back] Touch my heart, its surreal
[Don't look back] I pulled something in my neck
[Don't look back] Its not important but I'll check

CHORUS
The year ahead will be all that you can make
It tastes of candy and cake
[Don't look back] Don't look over your shoulder
[Don't look back] I'm another year older
[Don't look back] Because the past it disgusts me
[Don't look back] Though I coped so ably
[Don't look back] Its an absolute horror
[Don't look back] Its a new tomorrow
[Don't look back] Because the past is s(t)inking
[Don't look back] Start some positive thinking

[Don't look back] I'm blinded by light
[Don't look back] I gave up the fight
[Don't look back] Bring the next conquest forth
[Don't look back] Is this all I am worth?

CHORUS

Don’t Look Back

Reflection on a Queensland, Australia sunset January 2020. 
Best enjoyed with a glass of wine.
