“You’re changing every day, right? Your curiosities and ambitions change, your ear changes, the music you like changes – and the music you want to make, too.”
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.
Did you like the piece? It is amazing, right?
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, @qsounds. If you want to listen to extraordinary music, you can find a wide range of different types of music, accompanied by a story and wrapped with a personal message. Quality and good taste, above all. From classical to experimental, electronic, ambient, soundtracks, dance, techno, and much more. You will have a cool musical journey there, so fasten your seatbelts before you start. After listening to that piece, there were no doubts for me, I knew that a new edition of Spread the vibes, challenge not challenge post will come to the surface. Do you know what is it about? If you hear it for the first time, a short description is coming. Ready?
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. :)
@edje : The excellent mind behind this challenge back in time, who hibernates from posting at hive right now. You know, the winter is still not here, even if the sun is hiding. So, please come out and show us some exclusive story, music, idea, humor, whatever! I am sure each word brought here would be a quality-filled one.
P.S. the last edition still waits for the response, but I will turn on my forgiving side if a response comes here :D
@fernanblog : A musician, a psychologist, a great engager, a person ready to help with his encouraging comments, and in a professional approach! A few days ago in one of the comment sections, I mentioned to you that I have one post in my mind where you would be involved. So here it is, the Spread The Vibes challenge is waiting for your response. Take your way, but I would like to hear how music and psychology can go together side by side and help people in the healing process.
@jaydr : A doctor and a musician, that had experience in playing music to his patients and seeing the reaction. I was interested can you share with us this experience and your thoughts on how music can affect our health. And of course, as you are super engaging too and make difference being so short time in the platform. You do it great!
@tdctunes : 8 weeks on hive and rocking! Horray!! Thanks for your nice words in this post, I appreciate your mention, but what is more important, I saw you are into challenges! How cool!! I think we will see just a great response coming from you! So bring here come electronic vibe, I am sure, more than one will enjoy it!
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 :))
▶️ 3Speak
Wow this is great I like it, with all the pleasure in the world I will answer soon this post dear @mipiano. I have several doubts dear friend, should I publish it in qsounds? the reaction can be a writing or should I make a video? and the last question would be, where do I publish the link of my post? here in the comments?.... hahaha many questions, but it is to do it well, thank you very much for the mention, really, this is very interesting, I know I will enjoy it very much 🙌😃❤️✨
Hey @fernanblog , first of all I am happy you will accept the challenge 🤘
You can publish in the community you want, but don't forget to use the tags #spreadthevibes and #music . You can do writing with some chosen music, or writing and your own video, like in this post. Yeah, the link of the post is something I always forget to do 🤣. It would be in the comment section of this post, your link. But if you tag me, as you will probably do, if you respond to this post and link in your post this one, I will find you :)))
Have fun 😎🎶🎶🎶
Ok understood hahaha thanks for clarifying those doubts 👍😃, I have another one, in my post I have to talk about your post, that is to say, react to the musical author that you published? or can I write it here in the comments? 🧐
No, you dont have to talk. :) You just write in your post your feeling, thoughts, anything you got from it. I will share some of the posts, so please, before you start take a look at some of the previous posts 🙏 it will be easier then ;)
Some of the Edje's posts : here and here and here aaaaand more here . Ricardomello had his response , Nataliaeline played also in this post , Andrewmusic did one too , Stortebeker loved the sound of harpsichord and Bertrayo made his one here
Also , you can take a look at my blog, I had several ones ;)))
As helpful as ever 🙇
Great, I understand the procedure now, thank you very much 🤜🤛💥😁
Count on my response in the next few days 😎🎙️🎸🎶❤️
Great :)) Looking forward to seeing-hearing it @fernanblog 🎵
I m glad you were called up here too. Would love to see your uniqueness here too. @fernanblog
Brother thank you so much 🙌😀 I'm glad you are here too 🤝, it will be very interesting this different way of expressing ourselves as musicians and health professionals, a big hug dear friend 👊😎🔥🎙️🎸🎶
An excellent play that is.
I enjoyed it, I don't know how anyone will spot any mistakes
Its all music to my ears.
And its true change is constant, even in the music we hear and make.
I have taken up the challenge and have been written and read other similar posts suggested, I guess I ve been trying too hard to write like you lol.
But I ll post soon and I hope you ll love it.
Thanks so much for the reminder😄 @mipiano , I ll see more like a push to finish up an post it.
Hey hey @jaydr
I am glad you enjoyed it, it was the mission of this, to spread some good and enjoyable vibes. I am glad you could catch them :) Music, all around, and how nice you are already preparing your part. You can do it your way, and I am sure we will all love your response. Trying hard is good, but we should bring our style, our own way of thinking, writing, playing. Be yourself, and a unique and perfect post will come 🎶 Looking forward seeing it :))
Yeah, just the word I needed.
I feel the pressure lifted.
I ll finish with it soon.
Thanks.
Yes, please, no pressure!! ✨
What an honour you got the inspiration for this post and all the work you've put in learning a new piece of music from an 'old' post by my alter ego qsounds. An absolute wonderful pick! Not gonna tell you what I think about your performance/recording here: You have to hop over to my blog for that, or the special tag :) YESSSS! Edje was woken up from his deep after summer, early autumn sleep! Thanks piano lady! :)
The music shared on that post was indeed inspirational. The honor was mine to listen to it and prepare this little post. And yes, hopped there and was nicely surprised to see that the alarm clock sounded and woke you up :) Siesta is for Spain, anyway!
😱😱 not for NL?
So, I did research from where and why comes siesta 🤣
So, theory one: Siesta comes from the Latin phrase sexta hora, (sixth hour) after the dawn, to take that rest at noon.
Theory two: people in Spain started taking siestas back in the 1930s at the height of the Spanish Civil War. According to the theory, siestas were a necessity because of the economic conditions at the time. Siestas provided people with a break from their work, as many of them would work all morning long, take siestas, and then get back to work in the afternoon before working a night shift as well.
Theory three: it comes from Islamic culture and Koran.
Theory four: the traditional reason for the siesta is for the workers in the fields to shelter from the heat. They would then feel refreshed after their sleep and would work until quite late in the evening, longer than they would have been able to without the siesta.
Found the things here where also more facts can be found!
So, clearly, a Spanish tradition but exceptions can be made ;p So for NL too, but not two months-long siestas! :)
Let's go for theory number 8: Siesta is just so wonderful, so those who practise the art of siesta, will have a happier life 😉
😂😂😂
The Art of siesta 😁
Well, at least, artist in something I am 😂
😂 😂 😂
That is a really beautiful piece of music. I'm not an expert on music, not even close, but it sounded to me like he mixes in sounds of nature with his music. I kind of hear the sound of falling water and a very light sound of birds singing and maybe even a woodpecker pecking at a tree way off in the background. I don't know for sure but that's what I heard.
Very cool piece! Thanks for sharing.
Well, @leaky20 , you described very well what you hear! We can call you from now an expert on music! Falling water and sounds from birds, how cool is your seeing (hearing) of the music 👌
I guess I just call it like I see (hear) it 😂
Seeing (hearing) at expert level then ;D
Well I don't know if I'd go that far (calling me an expert) hahaha
ok, we are going back to: how cool is your seeing (hearing) of the music! ;D
I guess there is no sense to argue with you... At least, you are an expert in winning discussions? ;D hahaha
Lmao 🤣
Okay I'll accept that lol 😆
Hey! I do indeed love challenges so thanks for inviting me to this one! I would love to accept the challenge. One question: should it be music I play (as you have done) or can it be any music I find inspiring?
Hey there @tdctunes
I am glad you will participate!! Cool. So, will you play your music or not, it is up to you. I usually play in my spread the vibes posts, but it really doesn't have to be the case. You can check out some posts by Edje on this topic, he doesn't play but writes and shares music that inspires him in an excellent way. Up in the comments of this post, I linked just some examples... You can see more here
Looking forward to seeing your response :)
Ok brilliant - thanks for the info! I will have a think about what I can do today!
¡Ovación de pie..!
Sin dudar, una muy bella pieza.
Gracias @fermionico 😇
De acuerdo contigo sobre la belleza de la pieza, y además diría que este compositor todo lo que compone lo hace de una manera muy especial 🎵
Para mí ha sido un placer tocar su música!
Debo ser sincera, no conocía esta pieza, pero he quedado maravillada con ella, tan cargada de emociones, además que la manera en la que ha sido interpretada es sublime y nos deja apreciar cada frase, cada momento importante de la obra. ¡Simplemente magnifico!
Muchas gracias querida @jhoxiris por escucharme y tu comentario. Me alegro que te haya gustado, os mando un abrazo a los dos ;)
That's a really cool initiative, thanks for just opening this bottle from 2017, with a snippet of time from @qsounds, I also see that @mammasitta was commenting at the time 😁
Really interesting vibe this track, I like chord progression too!
Really cool initiative, you said, and you just got invited by jaydr to spread the vibes :)))
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
IIt is wonderful to see and hear how you integrate the music with your inner being. That's why your interpretation goes beyond our ears. It's trascendental music... thanks a lot for creating this special post. Blessings 😊
Thanks, Nancy, I am glad you liked the post and the music from it :) Music is always a part of our inner being, of course, but it is not always easy to share all that it represents to us. Thanks for reading and listening 😇
