When I teach children to play piano or sing, I offer them improvisation right from the beginning. I wish I was taught that way, since until my mid-30s I had hard times to relax and believe in my ability to

Video: https://youtu.be/c4x5Rpmdf-4 ---- This soundtrack from "The Arctic & Antarctica" film is one of the most humorous one! What can be funnier than clumsy penguins? When composing music for the penguins scenes I tried to find the rhythms that reflect the way penguins are walking. I looked for ethnic instruments and when I heard African Bolon it "clicked". I added some more ethnic percussion like Calabash and claves to simulate birds sounds. Then came wooden mallets for the melody that was a bit

Video: https://youtu.be/DGgIUQzKtMs --- This snippet from "The Arctic & Antarctica" film is all about the journey to the frozen lands. I tried to put different feelings into this this soundtrack. Of course, the obvious one is the anticipation of seeing the snowy world but I also added the melancholy of leaving your home. It turned to be a fusion of Latin jazz and some French vibes with a bit odd mixture of instruments. Cajon drives the adventurous rhythm, occasional sci-fi synths underscore the

Like many others I was shocked this year to know that Dolores is gone. This cover is our little tribute to her and her unique voice. I hope I did it justice. Many thanks to my husband Arty who is always there for me and who produced this video. Many thanks to Diana Sharp for helping me to find my voice.

When I touched "The Giant" for the first time, this very piece was born under my fingers. We called it "The Piano As Big As a Tree". I knew right away that one day I would compose a

I've got several remote sessions for recording piano and vocals and a couple of composing/arrangement requests. I am also working on arranging my new song.

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 the genre or instrumentation should be. So, we went for this short orchestral cue. The original name
