Solo Piano Album by Brian Kelly In Progress
Brian Kelly @ 7:24 pm
In June I’ll be rehearsing music for my solo piano album (Tomorrow’s Daydream) before going into the studio and recording this summer. There will be 11 tracks on the album (approximately 44 minutes total). Listen here: www.solopianoartist.com. I’m trying to come up with song titles for tracks #5, #7, and #11. If any images or titles come to mind, please send me your thoughts.
Sheet Music for all 11 compositions will be available for sale on my website after the album has been released.

CD Release by Alexander Orchestra
  |
I’m very proud to appear on the debut CD by Alexander Orchestra, Opus Everlasting. Violinist Alex Sneicki has created some memorably melodic and richly-textured music. The style could be described as Classical Crossover / World-Music. My piano playing is featured in 7 tracks. I very much enjoyed the magical synergy of our work together. Among my favorite tracks are: “One Last Look” and “Ocean Song”.
Please… take a LISTEN & SUPPORT independent music. |
