About this album

  • Updated: 22/02/2008

Friendly greetings!

I didn't come here to waste your time with a long, puffed-up bio.

I've arrived to delight your senses with these piano pieces.

They're lovely for relaxing, unwinding, finding your creative G-spot, making love, and even making screencasts to. I know, I've done it.

Obvious inspirations/influences include: Philip Glass, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yanni, Vangelis, George Winston, Raul di Blasio, Yann Tiersen, and Erik Satie... so if you like them, so do I.

I don't like classical snobs and other lowminded chinstrokers. While "popular" isn't always "good", it can be.

I get a hoot out of playing really repetitive piano music, then suddenly varying. Surprise is spice, sunrises are nice.

I wish you a fun, memorable day after listening.

A very relaxing and lovely piece of work. Tis' just sooooo minimalistic and beautiful. Not 100% technically perfect, yet a very atmospheric work. Very atmospheric :)

Un défaut majeur, on n'a pas le temps de "respirer". Il y a tout le temps des notes, et pas le temps de s'arrêter pour respirer un coup. c'est le problème de tous les pianistes. Quand on est lancés on veut plus s'arrêter, on a du mal à juste laisser sonner un bel accord ou juste une note, on en veut toujours plus, une avalanche de note. Je connais bien ce problème mais à la réécoute c'est un peu indigeste. Ce qui n'enlève rien à la qualité du toucher de ce pianiste qui est bien au dessus de mes capacités, même si on décèle quelques fausses notes mais presque inaudibles, et qui ne gache pas la qualité de la composition. Il y a en effet des passages très intéressants. A écouter une fois mais difficile de l'écouter plus, je trouve.

And this music is definitely as advertised . . . I love a good piano.... my favorite music is solo piano . . . and I especially listen for the little raspy bits . . . or a missed note, and off tune . . . it touches me when I hear that because I know the musician is human like me . . . full of mistakes and surprises and full of beauty and shadow . .. This guy is one of the best on Jamendo . . . One of the joys of starting a new user is being able to go back over all the old favorites and writing new and better reviews . . . and searching for my old favorite music is part of the joy of Jamendo . . . But how had I forgotten you, Torley? . . . and here I am again . .. totally in love with you . .. I can see his fingers dancing and flowing along the keyboard . . . I can hear his heart beat and see his eyes glazed with introspection or shining in glee . . but music is a deep joy for him and I am glad . . .
