    [ARTS] Original piece by Choujou

    Hello everyone,
    I recently recorded this little piece of a larger piece that I wrote years ago. I recently acquired an electric piano, and have started to play again after many years… I am starting to remember my old pieces which is nice and look forward to writing more! Bion asked me to share this here, so I hope you all enjoy! (Please pardon any “grace notes” as my fingers are just starting to move again!)

    Gassho,
    Choujou

    I listened to this three times. Bless your hands Choujou for the lovely music you've created.
    I believe that each piece of music wants to deliver something. For me this music is hugging and calming.
    If you share more with us that would be nice.

    More beautiful artistic pieces to come. Waiting that
    Thank you so much.

    Gassho,
    Adel,

        Choujou this was truly beautiful. Echoing Adel, as I listened I was filled with a sense of calm and let it fill the space around me with it.

        Thank you for sharing, I do hope you share more.

            Thank you and, Yes it is! Full 88 with weighted keys. (I can’t do non-weighted, just feels strange to me)

                don't, for its sake, act discordantly,
                for that life, the enlightened say, is short." - The Buddha

                  Lovely recurring motif there, Choujou. You look so absorbed.

                    The form of the practice is the voice of the Buddha Dharma itself.

                          Brilliant composition and playing Choujou! If you don't mind me asking, who are some of your influences? Just before I watched this, I was listening to some of Ryuichi Sakamoto's work, and I can't help but notice some similarities in tone/vibe.

                          Thank you so much for sharing!

                              I hope playing that piece brings you as much joy as me hearing it.
