Finish Line – “The Final Touch” Series, no.24 – PianoTweet 365

Proudly presenting this Year’s last PianoTweet…

The first year of PianoTweets’ Life was a remarkable one.

It all started with “Prototype”, a recording of a last minute improvisation.
A recording that did not yet take place on the Grand piano in the studio.

Lots of compositions passed, a good deal of improvisations as well.
Some organisation and programming errors occured,
even a period during the summer there was sickness.
There was a PianoTweets Puzzle.
There were 3 Series:
The “B flat minor” Series,
the “Sono Dio” Series and
last but not least, following the 5th Circle:
the “The Final Touch” Series.

Every day it has been an inspiring and challenging goal to publish 365 PianoTweets daily.

I must admit it hasn’t been easy at all.
But, after all, a very satisfying experience.

The most significant effort was how to learn to open my creativity’s source.
After a while I recognized how to reach a point of concentration
from where I could get into contact with the Source.
Very often I had the feeling the Source tuned in from outside,
beyond my own will,
something I couldn’t get a grip on:
and I even did not want to get that grip.
Just to let it flow.

However, it happened: I opened my doors, I let it in and that Source feeded me, almost day after day.

Second point was how to realize all technical and programming stuff.
And there was a lot to do maintaining all contacts growing through the social media.

It is a Dream that came to life – day by day, step by step.

The Circle of Fifths, “The Final Touch” Series has come to an end today.
All 24 chords have been played.
And I will play them again, again and again.
Tomorrow a new Circle will start and open.

I have to go on.
An invisible power pushes me to look forward and to keep the goal alive:
give a musical moment of rest to the people I know –
either directly or either only by name or nickname through the social media.
Besides, it’s almost a therapy to myself.

The year of 2012 – starting tomorrow – will offer a PianoTweet every odd day.
That means every 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th day and so on.

For more details, please read the Newsletter “PianoTweets in 2012” (in Dutch & English).
Stay tuned and enjoy!

The Frontier returns every year.

We reflect and look forward.
We want to change things, do things better,
live a better life, more healthy and conscious.

Like we wish every year.

Should 2012 really change anything?
Are we really going to save our World and Ourselves?
Are we really capable to take care, better than before?

We see numerous signs and notifications that
we really MUST change:
to stay alive and to keep our World, our Planet safe.

Door to Freedom – “The Final Touch” Series, no.22 – PianoTweet 363

Although the New Year has not yet begun,
I already express one wish.
My most important wish and most important value:
Freedom.

I wish myself and everyone else Freedom.
Free from tyres that keep us strangled and paralyzed,
free from greed, egoïsm and selfishness.

Freedom of thinking, doing and speech.

Let’s open the door wide and enter into another way of living.
A Life dedicated to Freedom.

Swan Song – “The Final Touch” Series, no.21 – PianoTweet 362

2011 has almost finished.
2011 almost says “Goodbye”.

A Swan Song is a song that’s sung before Death.
And Death is the portal to New Life.

Many of us are a kind of waiting for 2012.
2012 is pressumed to be a very special year.
2012 might be a very special year.
We’ll see.
At least it’s never the same as any other past year.

Waiting for 2012 means that 2011 will be forgotten step by step.

The Swan swims away
into our memories
and will be forgotten:
part by part,
day by day.

Music Box – “The Final Touch” Series, no.20 – PianoTweet 361

A small and tiny atmosphere;
like the little music box sounded.

Memories from my childhood get awake.

Somewhere amongst my stuff and my organised chaos
there must be a small music box.

In fact, the music box is very close.
As my childhood’s atmosphere always is near…

Hymn for Earth – “The Final Touch” Series, no.19 – PianoTweet 360

I read what the Dutch Queen Beatrix said about our World and our Planet.
And I tried to translate the meaning of her words freely.
The result is this phrase:

“From us, as creatures with a sense and conscience,
might be expected to explore
a daily care for Planet Earth and
a deployment for a just and righteous community”.

I fully agree.

Earth is ours and we belong to the Earth.
