✨ Relaxing Music ✨  Zen, Ambient, Meditation, Spa, Calm, Healing

Like the soul of a river - always moving, full of hope to that unknown destination. On its way making the acquaintance of heartbreak, loss, change, tumult, joy, love, and peace.
River Soul - the ever-changing, fickle nature of life - which place to better represent that than Berlin? Deeply inspired by my home town my new EP River Soul travels into neoclassical and ambient music, into the playful and melancholy charm of Berlin.
The EP 'River Soul (Songs For Piano, Wind & Water) was funded by GVL & Neustarthilfe Kultur.

A Fragile Path To Peace is the first song of the EP.

Sleep in forest

Ballade en forêt

Dolce

Papperssvalan

A Winter's Song - a delicate waltz to celebrate the beauty of winter.

Immerse yourself in a serene winter wonderland with Valeska and the River’s latest piano composition. Transporting listeners to the most tranquil moments of winter, where the world hushes into untroubled calmness, Valeska and the River’s composition captures the ephemeral magic when snow blankets the landscape, momentarily concealing the stresses of life. As the delicate piano notes gently cascade, a mesmerizing string arrangement beckons the audience to embark on a melancholic dance through a snowy forest—a waltz with nature itself. This evocative musical journey is more than just a composition; it's an enchanting escape into the heart of a peaceful winter sanctuary."

This is what spring feels like in my hometown Berlin - a touch of melancholy, a little hope, a tickle in the nose, a sprinkle of awakening and a dash of boldness! Hope you enjoy my new neoclassical composition!

Berliner Frühling

Berliner Frühling - Valeska and the River

It's a journey, it's a ride! Life is wild and weird, loud and quiet and all the adjectives you could possibly think of. So let it ... let the river run and see where it takes you. Here's my new neoclassical piano piece.
"Let The River Run" mirrors the ever-changing flow of life. Like a river, it moves through moments of serenity and turbulence—sometimes gentle and reflective, sometimes rushing with intensity. Each note carries the ebb and flow of emotion, inviting the listener to surrender to the journey, wherever the current may lead.

Berliner Morgen - music video:

#pianoday2020 

Capturing the beauty and the solitude of a walk through Berlin at 5.30 in the morning. Imagine coming out of a club (possibly slightly drunk), into the peaceful Berlin drenched in blue. With your blurry night-tainted vision you hardly see the dirt, only the serenity and sweet melancholy of the big B. - my musical declaration of love for my hometown.

Berliner Morgen is part of the Veins EP - support/buy here: http://smarturl.it/veins-ep

Sometimes there’s no need for words. You can let the wind whisper, the water roar, the birds talk, and the streets of Berlin tell their stories … while you play along on the piano, capturing all of those little moments. 

Here is ‚Veins - Songs for Piano, Wind & Water‘: A collection of memories, favorite places, and forgotten tales wrapped in ambient soundscapes and minimalistic piano music. Enjoy.
