Put me in front of any musical instrument and after time I gain the ability to use it as a channelling device which interprets that which I am feeling into sound.
Recorded in 2013, this track represents a special private moment when I sat at a grand piano in my Uncle's house in Cambridge and for the first time in ten years I played what I was feeling using a piano instead of a guitar.... whilst recording it on my iphone.
It has a slightly sad feeling for me.... with a little bit of hope towards the end!
I was just about to leave the UK forever and set out on my barefoot journey across the Pyrenees Mountains, and there were many things (like my cat for example!) I didn't feel good about saying goodbye to.
The journey ahead was calling me and I was ready finally to answer this call.
Hope you enjoy this little snippet of rare piano creativity from my past.

I think I needed this post... as a way of taking my mind off volcano related matters.
Hope you have a moment to listen to it and give me some feedback :)
I also love to listen piano .but cant use it
Music has a way to take your mind away for a while. Old music works for me. I guess old own made music works for you
Nice. You've got some slightly raw jazz elements mixed in with the general classical sound there. Delving into jazz over the years has greatly expanded my mind, and at the ripe old age of 41 my interest in jazz only increases by the day. There some excellent, free jazz album of all sorts on YouTube. Here's one of my favorites, a real classic of jazz (piano focus), as well as classic black and white cinematography music video...
Listening to Vanglis Papathanassiou and Keith Jarrett for the past 50 years has warped me in a much more rhapsodic direction.. I don't play what I feel, I simply listen as hard as I can to feel the music that plays through.
