Slightly nostalgic track with trumpet and violin - evoking the long summers I spent with my family in the french mountains as a child. 

Very lucky to have been able to record this theme in studio, with the trumpet masterfully performed by Nguyễn Hoàng Thiên Ân  - check out his IG profile where he regularly posts some awesome content : https://www.instagram.com/thienantpt

Dirk Maassen - Zenith

An original composition by William Wilson commissioned by Ernie Grimm for his wife Mary. Ernie asked that it be "sweet with a hint of sad." The piece is a duet with the melody played by the ukulele and the accompaniment by the guitar. It begins with a "Slack Key" guitar riff and later moves into a Flamenco section inspired by the Rodeña. The guitar is tuned to an open tuning in both Hawaiian "Slack Key" as well as traditional Spanish "Rodeña." (D A D F# B E)
It will be featured on the upcoming album Flamencolele, for more information visit Flamencolele.com .

A solo piano improvisation, in celebration of Piano Day 2017.

Dreaming

Una mezcla de sonidos que me resultan agradables :)

A place beneath the trees

A Place Beneath The Trees

An improvisation that just developed using a rather lovely guitar, and a wonderful alt tuning (DADGAD) that is just perfect for Mr Lowden's fine instruments. 

A couple of glitches got into the play, but it was an enjoyable process creating this contemporary guitar improv - has a pretty springtime lilt and I hope it makes you smile.  =)

World BEAThoven Project:

On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of nature enthusiast, humanist, visionary and composition genius Ludwig van Beethoven, an international network under the direction and idea of ​​cultural manager Darius Darek (Taxi MunDJal MusiX) produced an extraordinary album: Twenty melodies from Beethoven's works were recorded on non-European musical instruments by musicians based in the Cologne-Bonn region. This sample databank was created under the direction of Hans Zimmer's sample library developer Felix Ohlert and was then used by music producers worldwide as the basis for new tracks of electronic music.
The album now being released will be presented at festivals and in clubs and rearranged for a 35-piece brass orchestra (Youth Brass Band NRW).

As Darius Darek's academic background is geography, he has implemented sustainable, degrowth and minimalism based, fair, green, common-good-oriented and alternative ways of life into this music project. A transdisciplinary designed artivism towards a socio-ecological transformation: 

- to promote „cultural diversity“ the project is a collaboration with musicians of diverse music cultures to record a sample databank.

- to promote „cultural heritage“ the project aims to upcycle & remix almost forgotten music by worldwide electronic music producers.

- to promote „creative commons“ the sample databank and the remixes can be used and listened to for free.

- to promote „socio-ecological projects“ the remixes are presented at green, transformational or zero waste festivals, at intergenerational bicycle rides or in „freeboxes“ (https://tinyurl.com/freeboxvideo).

- to include „citizen participation“ a random local youth involvement and a worldwide production contest (in cooperation with Arts Council England) were carried out: www.globallocal.co.uk/remixspace/

- the project thus supports some of the sustainable development goals (SDGs): reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, quality education, gender equality and climate action.

On September 27th, 2020 a war was started in my homeland. Since the beginning, the war has changed countless lives and terminated numerous ones. The war continues to do so to this day. I would like to devote this song to the fathers who didn't get to hold their babies, and to the mothers who didn't get to hold their sons.

The word օրօր (“oror”) meaning “lullaby” in Armenian comes from the root word օր (“or”) meaning “to move”, mirroring the endless back-and-forth motion of the rocking cradle. Armenian folk lullabies have been transmitted orally from one generation to another in a range of local dialects. They are full of historical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic information." - Nairi Khatchadourian, "aha collective"
