Away in a Manger

Résonance De L'élégance - a relaxing composition with piano and strings by Till Simmen

Résonance De L'élégance

A Piano piece I wrote back in 2021 after my grandfather passed. Not me performing, just meh-sounding MIDI for now. Hoping to get it debuted in Winter, 2023.

Beyond The Stars

A beautiful and personal statement about the passing of time not unlike a mirage of reality; you can see it, but reach for it and it disappears. Lovely performance by Peter in his playing and singing, and superb synth ornamentation by Seagull and Dan.
Peter's lyrics:

Ticking down the time.
Nowhere at the speed of light,
Nothing in my mind.
A dream of futures past.
Precious in my heart,
But it never came to pass.
Rearranged all my drawers of memory's worn out socks,
Corrected all my broken lifetime's kitchen clocks.
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Backwards at the speed of life,
Burdened in my mind.
Who stole it all away?
The clarity of thought
That defined me yesterday.
Dusted all the volumes on my memory's shelf,
Time-lapsed photographic of my former self.
Just ticking down the time.

Tomorrow calls in shades of black,
I swear these walls are staring back,
We waltz our falls in spiral mime,
Just ticking down the time.

Ticking down the time.
Lights out on the road ahead,
Fog came down behind.
Ready to anoint
The corpse of a life history
Shrivelled to a point.
JPEG'd out the detail of the smiling years,
Algorithmically compressed into this room of tears,
Where I'm just ticking down the time.

Ticking  (Peter, Seagull, and Dan-t)

Here is another sweet little Improvistion by "Monsieur Carl". Hope you enjoy!

Monsieur Carl Is Grooving

A little improv in Pythagorean tuning by Stacy Fahrion. I'm currently using the free trial version of Pianoteq. It's an amazing program, and so far I actually love the creative limitations it imposes by leaving certain black keys out.
