“Listen to these notes of piano keys alternating turns like drops of rain falling down slowly but steadily. A soul-touching Cinematic piece, which can expand your senses and change the way you estimate sound. Simply wonderful and dreamy.”

“A very short but truly tasteful nod to Bach’s legacy that will probably have any mélomane with a soft spot for late Baroque period and a perfected counterpoint yearning for more.”

Red wine and romance will make great guests for sure. Play it a few times and it might start snowing with golden snowflakes.”

“We all struggle among the shadows. Wondering souls taking their turn on this magical planet. Soft as rose petals sprinkled by the morning dew. The piano here really comes alive in soft gentle ways only a true master can express. ”

Song inspired by Hampsicora's failed rebellion against the Romans in 215 BC. With the piece I wanted to imagine the moment when he realises he has lost everything by looking at the smoke coming from the battlefield on which his son is also lying.

“It is amazing how, in such a minimalist, piano, the work is such a huge number of feelings and emotions, embedded by the author in every note. Sometimes a few words are enough to express their thoughts and -arrowsmith - this is well aware of this. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Удивительно, как в таком минималистичном, фортепианном произведение такое огромное количество чувств и эмоций, вложенные автором в каждую ноту. Иногда для выражения своих мыслей достаточно нескольких слов и -Arrowsmith- прекрасно это осознаёт.”

Soar is the latest release in a series of pieces composed around the modern relationships beginning, middle and increasingly common end. With the third release ‘Soar’ depicting the beginning of the end, Repelled is composed around the end of a relationship.
Repelled is a quiet piece that plays with the structure of ‘Charmed’, but forces an unnatural change in the tonality. It is a solemn and dark creation aimed to reflect a relationships unhappy ending.

“Sometimes a storm can be different than usual and this classic piano creation proves that fact. Soft melodies like rose petals, shifting shape to resemble the eye of a cyclone. Just let yourself be drifted from the pure beauty of those strings.”

“Previously, Saturday morning. Through the patterns of the white tulle, which sways slowly in the wind, the first rays of the sun appear. A cup of tea cools on the table, smells of fresh fruits and the creak of the floorboards is heard. Look around. Someone is waiting for you. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Ранее, субботнее утро. Сквозь узоры белой тюли, которая неторопливо колышется на ветру, проступают первые лучи солнца. На столе остывает чашка чая, пахнет свежими фруктами и слышится скрип половиц. Оглянитесь. Вас непременно кто-то ждёт.”

“Open your heart, let in the music there and watch how your mental balance changes. Feel your breath, heartbeat and light rustling breeze in the crowns of trees. Music, which is able to encourage you to realize your own self in an endless stream of life. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Откройте ваше сердце, впустите туда музыку и наблюдайте, как меняется ваше душевное равновесие. Почувствуйте своё дыхание, биение сердца и лёгкий шелест ветерка в кронах деревьев. Музыка, которая способна побудить вас к осознанию вашего собственного Я в бесконечном потоке жизни.”
