It's a dance between two lives, one consistent and one passionate. First alone, but not lacking, just there. Then twirling with utter wholeness with the violins added in. It tells a story if you look at it that way

I just learned from your performance at the Sydney Opera House (SOH) that you made this song for a bathtub commercial. It doesn't matter the inspiration or if you have played thousand of times, it is a beautiful song, keep playing it in different environments. The SOH performance was amazing. Takk for your music!

Whenever most people say the word "music" It brings thoughts of beats, lyrics, catchy tunes and crowds of cheering people. but not with me. when i think of music, i think of a special, warm feeling growing inside of you, creating happiness through melody and beauty. This song is music. and it creates warmth in my soul.

watching the video, it's like the piano tones control one stream of colour, and the string control the other, and it's like the stream controlled by the piano is dying without the strings accompanying it, but when the strings kick in every thing goes nuts, and i know they are 2 orbs emitting colour, but i really get a sense of joy from seeing everything come to life in those moments..

I watched this video for the first time a couple of hours ago, and I couldn't understand why everyone was raving about the video. I only realized now that Youtube was being weird for me and kept looping the first two seconds of the video over and over again for the entire song. I'm rewatching it again, and it's working now. I can see now that it is really beautiful. So much vivid imagery and intensity and emotion in such a simple video.

It's amazing what the notes in music can create in the human soul. The fifth "unknown" element of relating without words or exchange...it just is. Choral and chamber music can also have the same [intentional] affect.

Think of yourself as a lone cloud. Sure, you end up leaking out all the substance within you, but you also are able to slowly regain it again. In time, you will fill full again, only to repeat the cycle. Find solace in knowing that each phase is only temporary.
