This truth is one of the Ryuichi Sakamoto's quotes, that I would like to emphasize just right now, at the beginning of this post. We do change every day, consciously or unconsciously. For better or worse, you choose, but if you have a well-laid foundation and know where you want to go, the world is yours. Of course, the question of whether you want to step up or not. How fast you will progress also depends on the energy you will dedicate to that activity. Sometimes, you have a good idea and you know that certain activities would contribute to the overall well-being, but life brings other circumstances that occupy your attention, so changes and activities take place more slowly. But, the fact is, we change, and we change our appetite, preferences, interests. Our perspective also changes, so that can happen with the way to experience music too.
The way how certain circumstances affect us is amazing. Usually, good and positive ones make an even better base for our inspiration and creativity. Though for a musician, creativity would mean composing its own music, and at this stage, I am not able to do that. On the other side, inspiration is a thing of magic, as it can bring a special way how the already written music is received and performed later. What happened about a week ago, is that I listened to a piece, that for sure affected me a lot. Saying that it was so inspirational is just a weak explication. Mind-changing? Maybe we are approaching a little bit more now the target, but heart-touching would be even closer. Powerful emotions like calmness and fulfillment prevailed while listening to this masterpiece. It starts as a choral composed by Bach, I had the feeling I am listening to a piece composed by that Baroque master played on the piano, slowly and steadily. And then, in one moment more sounds just expand everywhere. I would recommend listening to it without any distraction to hear the full beauty and meaning of it. The piece in the question is a composition by Ryuichi Sakamoto ( photo source ) from the album async.
I am so happy that I found it in THIS posts that an excellent music connoisseur posted a couple of years ago. Many posts can be found on that account, 
Somewhere back in February, the very first edition of this challenge started here. The aim was, and still is, to bring more interaction, engagement, and quality music to hive. Not just as a random post, but linked to each other! Responding to someone's music with your reaction, your own experience you got from that post, receiving musical and personal vibes and spreading them again to others. With your musical choice, you invite others to follow up and do the same. The most important feature: enjoy the process of creation! Just then, the good vibes can be spread. There are no hard rules, but some guidelines on what your post should contain:
-Your reaction to the music that was shared with you
-Your music selection and a related story
-Your invites of other HIVE members
-Link to the post you react to
-Tags to use: #spreadthevibes and #music
If we see, right now I am missing two parts of the post. My musical choice and the people I want to invite. So, inspired by the work andata posted already here, I searched for some scores by this Japanese composer. I have found several compositions but the most I liked to come to this post is called Energy Flow. The practicing process was enjoyable and lasted for one week, as I haven't time to practice so much, every day a little bit so it is here now. Not a perfect performance maybe, but it has to be like this. It will make more good for me if it comes with some random, almost not noticeable mistakes. One recommendation, turn up the volume as I feel the audio is not loud enough.
The next missing part is where I invite others to follow up. Really, no rules on how many people you want to invite... and also, anyone who reads this and wants to participate can do it. I will go with four invites now. And, I will explain why each one of you is stated here. :)
P.S. the last edition still waits for the response, but I will turn on my forgiving side if a response comes here :D
So, dear invited ones, and all who would like to participate even without the invitation, one pianist soul would be happy to see some post responses! Don't forget to be in harmony with yourself, whatever others would wait from you. Be yourself, and just if you like, spread some vibes :))
