Around the piano composition, I recorded clarinet, percussions and sounds to bring some extra-life and also asked my friend @plex-auchta to play drums. He did an excellent job! I just found the file just recently on my old backup. All my sounds were recorded with my old Zoom H2 recorder, so it's quite noisy. Also, I did an automatic mastering because I'm incredibly too lazy to do so correctly. I should record in more decent way. We can say that was a mockup. Hope you can enjoy it. You can watch me playing this composition in the streets here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeuBQ2pn5nI

In the desperate search to fill the emotional void, we often encounter untoward consequences and attitudes that only deepen our loneliness, leading us to dark corners and hidden places within our soul, where genuine connection seems out of reach. However, it is in these shadowy hideaways that we find the strength to return to what truly matters, recognizing that true fulfillment lies in the authentic connections that, though rare, light our way toward a renewed inner peace.

Chiaroscuro

Welcoming a New Muse to the Woman Muse Series 
We are delighted to introduce Sophie Riviere, a pianist, composer, and teacher from the island of Noirmoutier, France. Deeply connected to the sea and her island’s maritime soul, Sophie’s music flows like ocean waves, carrying memories, emotions, and a deep reverence for nature.

Her latest piece, “Madeleine”, is a tribute to resilience, passion, and the strength of women. Named after both her middle name and her aunt, who also played the piano, this composition honors the ways women overcome challenges and express themselves through art, work, and life. For Sophie, the piano has been both a refuge and a companion, capturing moments of struggle and joy alike. ad21

Whether she plays in the salt marshes, or on stage, Sophie’s music is an invitation to reflect, dream, and celebrate the beauty of the world around us.

Madeleine

The Waiting part 2

Composer of evocative orchestral and piano works that inspire emotion and tell stories. Blending cinematic grandeur with intimate melodies, Robert's music takes listeners on journeys through beauty, mystery, and reflection.
