Piano Pieces

Piano pieces:
Once in a while, mostly when walking, a melody appears in my mind.  A glimpse of an idea turning into a piece of music for only 1 instrument – like these piano piece – is like making music without gimmicks.

S2 : My very first piano piece that was worthy enough to record.  I still very much like the contrast between the 2 main parts of this song, as the second part (01:23) seems to lift up the song in a ‘begging’ way/feel, expanding the feeling, before returning again to the begin state of resign.

Summer rain : One night, i was turning a melody I was hearing earlier that day inside my head into a piano song, when some birds start singing their song after a summer rain.  I immediately knew I needed to add some rain, thunder & bird samples (there goes the no gimmicks attitude.. 😉 ).

Kissabella girl : when I met my wife I was in my ‘Beethoven’ period. I was listening to his 9 Symphonies, 32 Piano Sonatas, String Quartets during 4 months exclusively. This song is a reflection of that period.  Probably I will never make such sophisticated song again, as it took some time before I was happy with the melodic flow of it.  More than 15 modulations are weaving through this song, although it smoothly flows melodically through all those key changes.
