Hi everyone!

I'd like to tell you about my new album "Zen Flows", released today.

This is the kind of music you would put on while you are trying to relax, sleep, focus, meditate or in general avoid external distractions.

I was working on it since last autumn, when the whole idea came out after trying to record a windchime I bought in the US during a trip last summer. That simple session (which resulted in a youtube seminal video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEZyR-l-LQs ) evolved into a deeper idea: creating an immersive, organic relaxation experience where every single element had a human and natural touch. If you wander on my youtube channel you will discover I love to record myself playing all kind of weird instruments!

It was an interesting journey, I tried to make something cool but still personal, while maintaining the original idea

I combined minimalist piano lines and quiet pads with an array of acoustic instruments, including: tibetan bells, windchimes, native flute, didgeridoo, rainstick coupled with ambient sounds recorded by myself (sea waves, birds at dawn, rain, water flowing, even my heartbeat...)

My main goal was to create something polished, personal and evocative while keeping the original vision intact. In a market currently flooded with generative music, no AI was harmed during the recordin… this is 100% human-made even the cover artwork is a beautiful hand-drawing made by my wife :P

I'm also more than happy to discuss the recording process or the gear used for the field recordings if anyone is interested. I have used cakewalk Sonar to record everything. Piano are mostly from NI Noire and IK Pianoverse (its ambient background is fantastic for this purpose) while pads are from NI Komplete, EW, Korg M1
I have also used Dreamtonics SynthV to sing some mantra ("Om - Shanti") in the track "Inner Tao"

I thought it was the right place to showcase it! :)

I don’t know very many people that play the piano. I only took a few lessons many years ago and have been trying to teach myself music theory. I listen to piano music a lot, so a lot of my writing just comes from what seems to sound good

Looking for constructive criticism! Trying to write songs has been fun!

Made a new sheet music video for this original composition. It's like a fantasy theme/overture.

Also on YouTube.

Hi there,

I’m a harpist-pianist-composer/academic in the philosophical-esoteric milieu, about to finish my doctorate. I’ve written about Deleuze a lot in my doctorate and have some published papers on his ideas. So I created an organ-harp-piano music video that is also an experimental film that incorporates Deleuzian ideas. It’s an original philosophical manifesto, and if you are familiar with Deleuze’s ideas, particularly the Difference and Repetition stuff, you’ll notice how I both employ Deleuze’s ideas and transform them.

It's about an oneiric musical language of spiritual hieroglyphs.  And I also combine ideas from Novalis (I’m probably most known as a Novalis scholar in the academic world currently), Schelling, Giordano Bruno, Rudolf Steiner, Boehme, Walter Benjamin (and Kabbalah), also the work of Dianna Reed Slattery.

No AI was used in the making of this song, video, or philosophical text; it is 100% human-created art.

I also created a lot of hand-made animations for it, mainly ancient Egyptian and alchemical motifs.
Hope you enjoy!!!!
