CrusaderBeach – Bittersweet (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Neoclassical, The Latest|Tags: , |

Bittersweet is a delicate, neoclassical piano serenade featuring a beautiful, waltzing melody. And as the title suggests, the warm tenderness of the song belies a reflective, melancholy mood - ideal for meditative moments of peaceful relaxation or study focus.

Bittersweet is a follow-up to the well-received recent single Nightfalling, and continues with the new signature CrusaderBeach sound of intimate classical piano tones and resonances. Both singles will feature on the new CrusaderBeach solo piano album to be released later this year.

"Out of all the pieces I've been composing for my new album I think this is my favorite and the one I'm most proud of - hope you enjoy it too." Adrian (CrusaderBeach)

Waiting Space – ‘Cocoon’ [Official Video Feat. Drone Footage of Waterford City, Ireland, April 2020] (Video)

Categories: Neoclassical, The Latest, Video|Tags: , |

Starting with a gentle piano progression, before a swelling-evolution into a hybrid of electronics and acoustics, rising towards a crescendo, this beauty neoclassical influenced theme will unfold your best emotions and release them out, while been nostalgic in harmonic delivery succeed to reset you in a positive outlook for what it comes from now on.

Few words about Waiting Space:
‘Waiting Space’ is an audio & visual project – and the alias of Irish musician and creator, Chris Falconer.

Through a D.I.Y. process that is enabled by contemporary technology, as ‘Waiting Space’, he creates self-recorded/self-produced songs – characterised by dynamic vocals and cinematic instrumentals – typically blending programmed-electronics & live-instrumentation. Each piece of musical-output is then ‘complemented’ by visuals which Falconer independently creates in response – including artwork, animations, and short films.

‘Waiting Space’ began in 2013, as a side project for Falconer – who is also the vocalist of the Irish indietronica band, Ghetto Amaretto. The project was initially a platform for musical ideas that ‘did not fit’ Ghetto’s catalogue – but when that project subsequently went on an extended hiatus, Waiting Space became an equal-focus for Falconer. The project also fit a mid-20s change-in-circumstances, as he found himself increasingly confined to recording in domestic settings, and with a reduced, irregular schedule in which to create music (as his artistic-output was forced to compete with his full-time architecture-industry occupation).

The project became a catalyst for Falconer to learn more about the technical aspects of music-making, recording & producing (elements he had been relatively sheltered from in previous projects as a solely a vocalist) as well as learning news skills in video-production, to create the ‘appropriate’ visuals to match these sounds & words.’

Euclid’s Niece Interview on Nagamag.com

Categories: Features, Interviews, The Latest|Tags: , , , , , , |


Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

Euclid's Niece:
My music is generally piano and instrumental, although it can be categorized in multiple genres, including neo-classical and instrumental pop. Although I am still at the start of a music career, I intend to explore more genres, in order to create wholesome, authentic pieces.


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Euclid's Niece:
I have started playing piano at the age of 7, it has been 13 years now. I attended a music school for 7 years, and have some basic knowledge about music history and theoretical concepts. Studying about various classical composers raised my fascination with instrumental music, but also made me see (hear, feel) music from a new perspective.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Euclid's Niece:
I have loved music ever since I can remember. I used to sing a lot, and I have been fascinated with piano from the very start of my studies. I must say, I treat my musical instrument as a friend rather than a tool. Music reminds me of my cheerful childhood days, when I could be honest about everything and say things by their name. This is the type of approach I am trying to have now - create something that can speak truthfully to the listeners.


Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

Euclid's Niece:
Opeth "Burden"


Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which track from a similar artist you admire?

Euclid's Niece:
Danny Elfman "The Piano Duet"

REUEL “Human Spirit” Co-Composer Aidin Ashoori
(Video)

“Human Spirit” stirs energy and emotion with this uplifting piano and orchestral theme designed to illuminate the adventurous and limitless spirit we all possess as human beings. An emotive skilled performance which through its visual that comes along with the delivered video goes deeper, right in the heart, releasing out your best emotions and activate the passion for life.

Few words about Reuel:
Reuel first caught the ears of the pop world in 2018 with album of iconic themes from Classical literature reimagined for solo piano, appropriately titled Classical. The album featured “‘Für Elise’ as You’ve Never Heard It” (-Blogcritics) and rendition of “Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat minor” (video premiered on AMFM Magazine).

He followed later that year with a holiday themed album First Snow, featuring the original title track “a delicate, haunting tune with sweet string arpeggiations and whispery, lush vocals” (-Parade Magazine) that “updates his classic piano training, creating an approachable take on sophisticated instrumental.”(-Popdust)

In 2019, he released Transformations, an album of originals. On the single “Polarized” the video finds Reuel, “giving his all as he delight us with this perfect blend of modern and classic, almost like Ludovico Einaudi and Pendulum teamed up and put a song, this would be pretty much the result.” (-Vents Magazine)

Shoshana Michel Interview on Nagamag.com

Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

Shoshana Michel:
Neo-classical, contemporary solo piano, new age piano, minimal piano


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Shoshana Michel:
I started music lessons at the age of seven when a door-to-door salesman for a local music studio knocked on my front door. Throughout the years, I've played different genres of music at different venues from ragtime at Knott’s Berry Farm to contemporary solo piano at The Galleria at South Bay in Redondo Beach, California. In 2015, I recorded my first solo piano album, Soul Whispers, which inspired me to start writing my own music. In 2016, I released Dancing on the Wind, my debut album as a composer followed by Prelude to a Dream in 2017, Reflection in 2019 and Impressions in 2020. I'm extremely honored that my music has been featured in several documentaries and has received accolades, nominations and awards.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Shoshana Michel:
I was exposed to classical music through my father and big band era music through my mother, so I was open to listening to different genres of music. As a teenager, I started playing ragtime, became very enamored with the genre and started playing professionally. I believe, that is when my world really opened up to music.


Nagamag:
When you compose, do you compose for yourself or for those that listen to your music?

Shoshana Michel:
I think that it's a little of both. I compose what's in my heart, but I do keep in mind what my listeners may want to hear. Music should be a 'conversation' between the composer and the listener, it should 'speak' to the listener. When I compose from my heart, I believe that it will reach the hearts of my listeners, as well.


Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

Shoshana Michel:
Fats Waller "Handful of Keys"


Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which track from a similar artist you admire?

Shoshana Michel:
Christine Brown "Forest for the Trees"
