Gentle ambient piano conversation with cello to sooth and relax the body mind and spirit good for any neoclassical playlist and a piece that even on repeat is just enough as a soundscape of zen.

Fracti

This is a gentle piece of ambient ethereal music on a 150yr old piano that has seen generations of musicians and families play its keys transports the listener to a place of chill and memories no matter how many plays it always touches the heart.

Summa

Sometimes a piece comes alone thats written to connect with the heart and spirit all at once. This gentle delicate piano and cellos piece tells its story for you to absorb and take a moment in time. The beauty of this broken music box is how its translated into a soundscape experience for the soul. Just simply absorb and enjoy,,,,

Hi, I’m Mars Shanley. I’m an Irish composer, producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, and I make music that blends piano, ambient textures, voice, field recordings, and sound in ways that are deeply human and alive. I write both by ear and by instinct ,there are symphonies I hear in dreams that I translate to the piano, textures, and sonic spaces. I also produce and engineer my own work, constantly exploring and learning, experimenting with frequency. 
I’ve been classically trained at the Royal College of Music in Ireland, and I’m a qualified sound engineer , so while my process is intuitive and exploratory, it’s also built on a foundation of discipline and professional skill. My work has been released with AD21’s Woman Muse Series, Digitality Records, and soon Blue Spiral Records, and has been featured on RTE national radio and TV, across international community radio, in festivals, stage productions, and wellness spaces around the world.
I carve with the vibrations of plant-based and cymatic frequencies, drawing on ancestral herbal knowledge, Celtic energy, and the pulse of the natural and quantum worlds. Every composition is a space for reflection, presence, and a story, and the silence in between.
Music has always been the thread that pulls my world together, and now it’s my turn to share it with the world , grounded in craft, imagination, and the lived experiences that shape every note.
