I can not believe that I have finished everything! Just one day was needed to do all of this! I am not sure what was the real reason to have this extra energy and motivation, but maybe I had a real free day, without my usual Saturday morning lessons. It gave me more time. Also, I needed to think about something else and not let myself spend one more day like the previous days. Doing something else, different, something that didn't happen in a while. Are you thinking now about some exciting things and absolutely outstanding activities? What would you say I have been doing today?
Maybe you guessed: I have cleaned the whole flat, and more of it. The balcony and the storage room also found out my intentions - there will be cleanliness and order. For sure, doing all that I have done today for the different look of our home and outside of it had not happened recently. You know that feeling, right? When you are just proud of how everything looks now. We usually have a joke on this: Oh, look, someone changed our balcony/kitchen/room/bathroom. It is new!
Well, I could add one more reason why all this cleaning stuff happened today. We will have some friends here tomorrow, and although they are close friends that don't mind is it top-notch order in our home or not, I just wanted to offer a bit more clean and normal conditions to spend time with them. Maybe we will opt just for outside activities, who knows. But I can go to sleep calm and happy.
I am also happy as I discovered a new artist as I was listening to music while cleaning. Tony Anderson, a new name for me that came to me. As I could not concentrate just and exclusively on his music, I did my more focused listening in the evening. Focused, but relaxed listening at the same time. I liked his piano tracks, but there are so many tracks and albums I want to check out. But as it is already night here, me with the headphones writing this not so interesting text but listening to interesting music, Nuit will come. Night, darkness. An album that seems that was released in March 2021.
The whole album can be listened to by making a gentle click to this link. Although I didn't like all the tracks, especially I feel the last ones are not so great (the remix ones). However, the beginning of the album gives some meditative ambient touch, just what is needed after a day that was spent in the activity I already described to you. The harp, violin, cello, and piano give us a hypnotic pace, I feel it like a lullaby but without the intention to make us sleep indeed. Just to help bring the dreams...
Retour is also one of those I enjoyed and listened to several times. I liked the mixture of the electronic arpeggios with the gentle piano playing. We can hear that the sound of the piano is recorded on an upright piano, probably again using some sordine, like a fabric put between the strings and hammers. Do you remember how many artists are using now the feature? More than once we brought it to hive, but still, it is so beautiful. Don't you think the same? The track is seven minutes long, but I would put it on the loop...
Arpege start very similar to Retour, but now the piano had the main role in bringing the arpeggios. The track takes a sudden change and the improvisation that we hear in the violin part tells us that the night can be a place where unexpected things can happen.
Another track I would not like to miss out to mention is Nightingale. Very gentle intro of the track that later develops into a bit deeper sounding ambient electronic music. It has its melodic parts too, featuring both electronic sounds and just a small percentage of acoustic instruments. Again, I would like to put it in the loop so I merge into the world of dreams.
With Lune and its magic, I should go indeed now. The moon that I saw this evening from my entrance door was spectacular. It was getting dark, and the sky was between dark red and black. The moon was so thin... Finally, the skies are not covered with a thick layer of clouds and rain and a so small detail like seeing stars or the moon can bring happiness. And this music discovery too.
