Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFYQLU1OBuA --- So many things are going on, all the same time and yet again I feel like a squirrel in a wheel. Among all this I periodically need an escape, to meditate and relax. Enjoy the "Solitude"! What's keeping me busy these days? I've got several remote sessions for recording piano and vocals and a couple of composing/arrangement requests. I am also w...

Video: https://youtu.be/_DiqH38NGjc --- When a teenage daughter joins her mom, the girls power can be... Radioactive! I hope you will enjoy our rendition of "Radioactive" by "Imagine Dragons" (one of my daughter's favorites). Sheana is on drums and.. I miss her! She is currently away on her first tour across Ontario with her school jazz band where she is a drummer and one of the percussionists. Oh...

Video: https://youtu.be/g8EZno9jxqY ---- I hope you will enjoy this orchestral soundtrack that was originally commissioned for a game under CC license (so, I can also post it over here). The author of the game asked to aim for something hopeful, meditative, optimistic and encouraging, he said "try thinking of it as the music for a ritual, a sort of initiation" and didn't put any limitation on what...

Video: https://youtu.be/R59pREGwSuY Dedicated to my teenage girl who loves this song as much as I do and who immediately stole this jeans jacket that took us whole two days to find across the multiple shops in the city (specifically for this recording). And I felt like rocking on the piano. Video is on YouTube as usual these days :)

Video: youtu.be/g2eY5E0ZvZc --- Taking a break from covers for a short piano solo. Enjoy this mischievous improvisation. I always have trouble naming my tracks but this one sounded like some Dark Affairs. I decided to make this track an open collaboration. Download it, remix it, send me the result and I will repost it :) Please, link this track back in the description of your version, so others ca...

Video: https://youtu.be/3zilvMwFgnM --- As many things in my life, it wasn't a conscious choice but an accidental coincidence. I just love this song but never dared to sing it. Until last Saturday when I finally did record it, planning to post it later this week. Then I looked at the calendar and was like "Woah?! It's Passover, no way?" It was a challenge. Not only musically but emotionally as wel...

https://youtu.be/SF8w5a7EYJY --- Winter came back with snow and cold weather... so... I found it quite fitting to cover one of my favorite songs - Tori Amos’s “Winter”..

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIjwCgjJU0w --- Two years ago I had the chance to play the biggest upright piano in the world in real life. It is called The Giant for a reason - the sheer power of the two-story piano makes you resonate with it, as if you are sitting inside the ocean of sound. Yet, I found that the power of it is... gentle! Of course, no digital version of it can compare to...

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phcvsg_vElA --- Had fun composing a summery soundtrack for one of clients, this was one of the variants that I can share with you (another one was accepted).
