I have recently started to meet on a regular basis, with a friend of mine, who likes to write songs. She has written several piano solos as well as a fully orchestrated piece. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her work. Her name is Rebecca Kuhnel. It is such a pleasure for me to explore diverse genres of music. I find myself being inspired to continue with my work as I meet and listen to her work. I do believe that meeting together on a regular basis with artists who desire to create music or any other form of art is truly inspiring and motivating. I would like to share with you a sample of her work. This song is called, "Jayne". To hear this song click on the link: Jayne by Rebecca Kuhnel
I would love to hear some of the stories you have, of people you might meet with on a regular basis, who help you be motivated to create. If you have not, as yet, had the opportunity of meeting with other creative artists, I would like to challenge you to give it a try and share your story. Even if your first attempt is an epic fail, we all have to start somewhere, and I would love to hear about it. Until next time.... Happy Song Writing.
So happy you have enjoyed playing this piece. You render it with so much warmth and light! Everything I hear from you is expressed so deliberately, like every measure shares the most important message but conveys a distinctly different idea within the broader idea/theme of the song. I have a great deal yet to learn from you...as long as you are willing. Meeting and discussing music and songwriting with you is definitely motivating and inspiring. I appreciate you so much! It's wonderful to have a friend who understands the beauty in creating music. You are so prolific, even with such limited time, you make every second, every measure count :). I have no doubt you will breeze through at least 100 new songs in the coming year. Looking forward to it! And looking forward to a little collaboration on a couple of those songs....
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rebecca. You are so sweet! I have really enjoyed learning and playing your original music, and look forward to more. I too am SOOO grateful for music. It really adds so much to life. :)
