Not sure if this works musically, but I found it interesting.

Steinway B - Intimate

When I read the title and listen to the music and looking at the pianist in picture,  I immediately think of the breakdown of a marriage. That can be heard in the piece. This music could be in a film in such situation…Love is pain.Breakup pain.

The music is like that the pianists brain's attachment system treats the loss of his partner as an immediate safety threat, leaving him disoriented and grieving the future he planned. But the diminuendo and short ritardando at the end show us that pain teached him patience, growth, and empathy.
Bravo ken. Thank you.

Every piece of music you create is something new. And in every piece, one can visualize something — at least I can.

And that brings us to the fact that your program, repertoire and playing style have evolved. I have a vivid imagination, but it has brought me joy many times.

You might understand better why I see so much in your music if you listen to, for example, to:

Organteq, "Poules et coqs” Hens and Roosters Joke No4

and Arabic music

Hi Stig, I am very happy to hear that it moves you and gives you thought. I tend to let the music guide me and then shape it a bit to reinforce the first thought it gaves me and then tie the title and image to match that initial feeling.

Thank you for sharing your two older posts! Indeed they combine to images and video to tell an idea or story!!

It has a really intriguing concept and atmospheric feel!
While the musical structure feels a bit unconventional, there's definitely something compelling about the mood and idea here.
