Beautiful melody. I love the notes and chord progression. Silent air is a breath of fresh air 🔥💜

This is a collaboration with my brother who wrote and recorded the acoustic guitar track first, and I then added the piano to it (and later added a piano interlude and ending).   

As a piano player, I find that it can be a challenge to share the stage with another instrument without being too obtrusive.  Additionally, piano and acoustic guitar are both rich in frequencies making mixing a challenge (especially for my novice mixing skills).  I don't think I would have even attempted this project if I hadn't heard a bunch of wonderful and inspiring acoustic guitar and piano duet examples on SC from @debra_buesking and @david-dunhamuser589535203  https://soundcloud.com/debra_buesking/sets/dunham-buesking-collabs
This song is in a different style than their work, but nevertheless it was very helpful to listen to Deb and David's songs while thinking about how to try to fit in the piano in a complementary way.

Song title: The rugged sound of the flat-picked dreadnought together with the spaced out melody of the piano gives me an overall impression of desert/Western combined with sci-fi/fantasy.

This is a piece of music honoring the 5 year old inside of you! You know the one, with a rich and vibrant imagination, full of energy! An explorer, a dreamer, pure momentum and joy <3! This has been a piece long in the making where I had the pleasure of revisiting my inner 5 year old, it was emotional, it was joyous, it has become a celebration - and now you can listen to it and hopefully go on your own adventure together with your inner child :-)!

Going on an adventure!

A song about depression and wanting to bounce back. Written and recorded in a bit of a rush, thus subject to change.

Verse 1
Sometimes I try to cry myself to sleep 
but it seems I’m never quite tired enough
I close my eyes but I can’t help but see
That downward spiral while I’m dreaming of things like

Chorus 
Brighter days ahead
When all our sorrows will be gone 
Without a trace, instead
Tomorrow every game is won, 
and my mom and dad are laughing, smiling, holding hands,
And I pretend…
They’re alright again

Verse 2
Sometimes I fail to find a way to keep
My mind from spinning round and out of control
It’s telling tales of endless pain and grief
And I’m beginning to slip out of my soul
And dream of

Chorus 
Brighter days ahead
When all our sorrows will be gone 
Without a trace, instead
Tomorrow plays a better song, 
I sing along and beg for it to guide me, hold my hand
While I pretend…
It’s alright again

Verse 3
Sometimes I feel like a vital part of me
Has finally broken and the damage is done,
When there’s no reason to be down the dumps but I see 
no hope, no happiness, no fun…
And I need

Chorus 
Brighter days ahead
When all our sorrows will be gone 
Without a trace, instead
Tomorrow moves the clouds along, 
And sunny rays I’ve craved will finally
warm my hands,
I won’t have to pretend...
I’m alright again.

Alright Again (demo)

Recorded on a C. Bernstein grand piano and mixed November 2023 at GAM Studio by producer Armen Bedrossian near Paris, mastered by Coponat Records, Pioneers’ is a relaxing and uplifting solo piano piece. It was inspired by Northern America wide natural landscapes: the song describes the amazed feelings of the first pioneers when they discovered this land. The main melody and the second uplifting classical theme stand for a freedom hymn.

Instant composer of whispered melodies - Authentic. Every song is written in a single breath , a musical memory, inspired by people and moments that crossed my path. Piano stories to breathe, heal, love, and reflect. Music is most beautiful when it’s shared. 🎹✨
