Ha yes, as they say in colder places, throw those curtains wide! Variety

My space is kind of linen and hardwood, dark blue-tones in carpet, wood mostly - but it is mostly about insulating myself in there - outside is good wide spaces, semi-rural and where the fresh air and wilderness calls. Contrast is important for good processes I feel.

Realized a little later, a few places in young years contributed to that description - one in particular, a long stay in a tropical locale in the 60s came back to me - I'd forgotten that place in time and it brought back a load of good memories (otherwise were just bubbling in background processes) - and hey, that's thanks to your piece - thank you!

What a wonderful description. I'll take it!
A persistent "sunny-side room with orange blushed curtains" sounds like an ideal study, meditation chamber and personal habitat to me, perhaps with a nice view and some pretty flowers outside; moody weather is also welcome on occasion.

Well done Stephen, I really enjoy the sense of casual melody through the middle - and can imagine this developed/arranged in various ways. I enjoy imagining those possibilities.

From it, I kind of feel.. afternoon in a sunny-side room with orange blushed curtains catching some warm rays - and thinking about the 70s, or being in a care-free time and place - there could be some story beyond the sense of that - keep at this - would love to hear it with instrumentation!

Do I sense collaboration with dear Stig? That would be fun to hear - I actually do hear something of the Pianoteqenthusiast style in that piece on listening again (nothing too specific - just detect a casual sense of a contained though palpable sort of contentment, perhaps along with some sense of yearning too).

Those strings goes so well with Pianoteq. You make undoubtedly interesting, different, good music. If possible, make another with strings. Thanks.

Thank you Stig for the comments and the nudge. I do like the sound of strings layered with piano, so I'll work on more of that. Enjoying your work as always.

Hi! Nice to have you back again in this sub-forum.
I always like your way of using chords, the sound is great. It gives a special harmony throughout the piece.
Nice way it goes from 0,19 to 0,35 and 0,55 to 1,11. And then the middle part 1,16 to 1,30 change it all a bit.
And one of my favourites is Piano-Strings 1 on Youtube. Beautiful, beautiful but a little bit sad. It’s short but a Masterpiece. I can close my eyes and dream away from this difficult covid-time, again and again….Thank you very much.
And thankfully, I found Piano Strings 2 still in forum. Masterpiece 2 ! Those strings goes so well with Pianoteq. You make undoubtedly interesting, different, good music. If possible, make another with strings. Thanks.
